This is because extra fine threads are more resistant to coming loose from vibrations. Superfine pitch metric threads are occasionally used in automotive components, such as suspension struts, and are commonly used in the aviation manufacturing industry. In addition to coarse and fine threads, there is another division of extra fine, or superfine threads, with a very fine pitch thread. The terms coarse and fine have (in this context) no relation to the manufacturing quality of the thread. In addition, one or two smaller fine pitches are defined, for use in applications where the height of the normal coarse pitch would be unsuitable (e.g., threads in thin-walled pipes). The coarse pitch is the commonly used default pitch for a given diameter.

The R10 series is from ISO 3, and the R20 series are rounded off values from ISO 3. ISO 262 selected sizes for screws, bolts and nuts ISO 262 specifies a shorter list of thread dimensions вЂ“ a subset of ISO 261. ISO 261 specifies a detailed list of preferred combinations of outer diameter D and pitch P for ISO metric screw threads. Internal threads are designated by upper case letters, G or H.

External threads are designated by lowercase letter, g or h. Tolerance classes defined in ISO 965-1 can be appended to these designations, if required (e.g., M500вЂ“ 6g in external threads). Refer to paragraph 12.2 of ISO 965-1:2013 for this. As a length of 1,00mm obviously is not valid as well as a pitch of 16mm on an M8 bolt would not be valid (M8Г—16), using the multiplication sign is unambiguous. Therefore the pitch is always indicated with two decimals. Using the multiplication sign could cause misunderstanding. The length of a machine screw or bolt is indicated by a following Г— and the length expressed in millimetres (e.g., M8Г—1.25x30 or M8Г—30). If the pitch is the normally used 'coarse' pitch listed in ISO 261 or ISO 262, it can be omitted (e.g., M8). The relationship between the height H and the pitch P is found using the following equation where Оё is half the included angle of the thread, in this case 30В°: H = 1 2 tan вЃЎ Оё в‹… P = 3 2 в‹… P в‰€ 0.866025 в‹… P Designation ДЄ metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by the multiplication sign, Г— (e.g., M8Г—1.25). The outermost 1вЃ„ 8 and the innermost 1вЃ„ 4 of the height H of the V-shape are cut off from the profile. In the plane of the thread axis, the flanks of the V have an angle of 60В° to each other. ISO metric threads consist of a symmetric V-shaped thread. Each thread is characterized by its major diameter, D ( D maj in the diagram), and its pitch, P. The design principles of ISO general-purpose metric screw threads ('M' series threads) are defined in international standard ISO 68-1. That is, an M6 screw has a nominal outer diameter of 6 millimetres and will therefore be a well-located, co-axial fit in a hole drilled to 6mm diameter.Д«asic profile of all ISO metric screw threads, where the male part has the external thread on a bolt) will pass through easily to create a well-located connection to an internally threaded component (e.g. It indicates the diameter of smooth-walled hole that a male thread (e.g. This is also referred to as the 'major' diameter in the information below. The 'M' designation for metric screws indicates the nominal outer diameter of the screw thread, in millimetres. They were one of the first international standards agreed when the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was set up in 1947. The ISO metric screw thread is the most commonly used type of general-purpose screw thread worldwide.
