Class 2A fit has allowance and tolerance.Class 3A fit, however, has only tolerance, creating a tighter fit.

The Class of a thread indicates the tolerance allowed in manufacturing. Class 1 is a loose fit, Class 2 is a free fit, Class 3 is a medium fit, and Class 4 is a close fit. Aircraft bolts are almost always manufactured in the Class 3, medium fit.
3A/3B is a tighter fit than 2A/2B. Thread fits are developed using allowances and tolerances. An allowance is an intentional clearance between mating threads. Allowances are applied to external threads. The major, pitch, and minor diameter maximums are less than the basic size by the amount of the allowance.
The requirements for screw thread fits for specific application are predicated on end use and can be met by specifying the proper combinations of thread classes for the components. For example, a Class 2A external thread may be used with a Class 1B, 2B or 3B internal thread.
Classes 2A and 2B Unified threads are the most commonly used for general applications, including production of bolts, screws, nuts and similar fasteners.
The allowance is 30% of the class 2A tolerance. For class 3A, the major and pitch diameter maximums are at the basic size. Also, the pitch diameter tolerance for class 3A is 0.0035 inches, which is smaller than the class 2A tolerance of 0.0047 inches.
Classes 2A and 2B are the most common thread classes in use, offering a balance of ease of manufacture, cost, and performance. Classes 3A and 3B are best suited where close tolerances, safety, and strength are required, and thus are frequently specified for socket cap and socket set screws.
Nuts fabricated by cutting from hex bar stock shall be grade marked with notches at the hexagon corners, one notch at each comer for Grade 5, two notches at each corner for Grade 8. Class 8 Class 9 Class 10 Grade 2 nuts are not required to be marked for grade identification.
For unified inch threads, there are 3 thread classes for external threads 1A, 2A, and 3A and three for internal threads 1B, 2B, and 3B. All of these are “clearance fits” which indicates that they assemble without interference. As a general guideline, the higher the class number, the tighter the fit.
The second difference between GSTR 2A and GSTR 3B is the reversal of ITC. In GSTR 2A, the ITC claimed is reversed if the supplier does not file his GSTR 1 return on time. This means that if the supplier does not file his GSTR 1 return within the specified time, the ITC claimed by the taxpayer will be reversed.
