2.4.2 METRIC THREAD<br />

The Bureau <strong>of</strong> Indian standards (BIS) has recommended the adopti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> ISO (INTERNATIONAL<br />

ORGANISATION FOR STANDARDISATION) pr<strong>of</strong>ile with the metric screw thread system. In metric<br />

thread, the external and internal thread vary in shape. It can also be called as unified thread. In<br />

general, this ISO-metric thread will be specified using the basic designati<strong>on</strong>. The basic<br />

designati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sist <strong>of</strong> the letter M followed by the nominal size (major diameter in mm) and<br />

followed by the pitch in mm.<br />

For example<br />

M20 x 1.5 means the major diameter <strong>of</strong> the metric thread is 20mm and the pitch is 1.5mm. Let us<br />

now draw the standard pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> metric screw thread<br />

D = 0.866 P<br />
