The minor diameter is the lower extreme diameter of the thread. Major diameter minus minor diameter, divided by two, equals the height of the thread. The minor diameter of a nut is its inside diameter. The minor diameter of a bolt can be measured with go/no-go gauges or, directly, with an optical comparator.
The thread form is slightly modified to increase the minor diameter, and thus the strength of screws and taps. The major diameter still extends to within 1 / 8 H of the theoretical sharp V , but the total depth of the thread is reduced 4% from 5 / 8 H = 5 / 8 cos(30°) P ≈ 0.541 P to 0.52 P . [ 5 ]
Because only 5 ⁄ 8 of this height is cut, the difference between major and minor diameters is 5 ⁄ 4 × 0.8660 × P = 1.0825 × P, so the tap drill size can be approximated by subtracting the thread pitch from the major diameter. In an external (male) thread (e.g. on a bolt), the major diameter D maj and the minor diameter D min define ...
*The final part of the shank has its diameter reduced to 22.86 mm. 1"-14 M1 Garand, M14, M1A Tr25.40: 2.540 mm 29° ACME trapezoidal threads. 24.66 mm-0.13 mm major diameter, 23.19 mm- 0.13 mm minor diameter, 1.32 mm-0.08 mm average thread width. Internal radius of 0.25 mm, external radius of 0.13 mm.
The minimum diameter (within tolerance) at the crest of the internal thread (called the min. minor diameter of internal thread) is that of the basic thread form and equals the nominal diameter minus twice the basic thread height (i.e. D − P).
The pitch diameter of the thread is simply OD − 0.6p and the minor diameter is OD − 1.2p. The thread angle is different from that used by Whitworth (55°), US Unified threads (60°) and ISO Metric (60°) so BA fasteners are not properly interchangeable with Whitworth or metric ones even when the pitch and diameter are similar enough that ...
A rule of thumb is that the undercut should be at least 1.5 threads long and the diameter should be at least 0.015 in (0.38 mm) smaller than the minor diameter of the thread. [1] Strictly speaking the relief simply needs to be equal or slightly smaller than the minor diameter of the thread.
ISO 965 (ISO general purpose metric screw thread—tolerances) is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for metric screw thread tolerances. [1] It specifies the basic profile for ISO general purpose metric screw threads (M) conforming to ISO 261 .
