Thread Classifications There are three classes of thread fit Loose where the joint is frequently disassembled Class 1 Standard general assembly Class 2 Close high accuracy fine fits Class 3 Designations for each class and the type of thread inside or outside for Unified and Metric are given below UNIFIED
International standards for thread forms have therefore been established for all common thread types ISO metric thread designations The complete thread designation is made up of values for the thread form and the tolerance The tolerance is indicated by a number for the tolerance grade and letters for the tolerance position Examples

The Unified Thread Standard UTS defines a standard thread form and series along with allowances tolerances and designations for screw threads commonly used in the United States and Canada It is the main standard for
Each metric standard is product specific For example DIN 931 is for partially threaded coarse thread metric hex cap screws DIN 960 is the specification for partially threaded fine thread metric hex cap screws The specification used to produce the corresponding inch series fastener is ANSI B 18 2 1
The metric screw thread is identified by the capital letter M followed by the nominal diameter Metric threads are measured by the distance between two adjacent threads in millimeters pitch Threads on a standard inch based fastener are measured by counting the number of threads per inch The tolerance system for metric threads is composed of a two

2019 12 9 nbsp 0183 32 Thread designation Same design as with a standard metric thread The difference lies in a narrower more shallow cut thread profile and non standardized pitch →As a consequence the metric fine thread can withstand more tensile force Often used where space is limited For a regular thread only a few threads would then be in the engagement
