Basic definitions 2
Thread:
A ridge of uniform
section in the form of
a helix on the external
or internal surface of a
cylinder.
Pitch:
Distance from crest to
crest or root to root, or
from a point on the
thread form to the
corresponding point
on the next form,
measured parallel to
the axis.
Lead:
The distance that the
threaded part will
move parallel to the
axis during one
rotation.

Manufacturing an external thread (Using dies) 13
A set of threading dies is commonly used.

Manufacturing an external thread (Using a lathe) 14
The part rotates continuously and the threading tool moves parallel to
the rotation axis at a constant linear speed.
The tool penetrates the part a little bit more (toward de rotation axis)
in each pass.
This process repeats until the full depth of thread is obtained.

American thread data 22
A B C D E
A = Nominal diameter.
B = Threads per inch.
C = Unified National Coarse,
National Fine,
National ExtraFine,
National Special
D = Tolerance.
1 = Loose fit tolerance.
2 = Medium tolerance.
3 = Tight tolerance.
E = A means an external thread.
B means an internal thread.
= RH o LH (right or left hand)
= Single, Double or Triple
= Threading depth or thread
length.

American thread formulas 23
P = pitch = 1/threads per inch
D = Thread depth = 0.6495*pitch
F = Face width (root or crest) = 0.125*pitch
Example:
1.000-8NC-2A
Pitch = 1/8 = 0.125 plg.
Thread depth = 0.6495*pitch = 0.081 plg.
Minor diameter = 1 - (2*0.081) = 0.838 plg.

Metric thread data 25
A = Metric
B = Nominal diameter (mm.)
C = Thread pitch.
D = Tolerance grade:
3 to 5 fine, 7 a 9 coarse
6 most used.
E = Right Hand or Left Hand (RH o LH)
F = Threading depth or thread length.
Elaboró: Víctor Romero
Metric thread formulas 26
P = pitch (mm.)
D = Thread depth = 0.6134 x pitch
FC = Crest face width = 0.125*pitch
FR = Root face width = 0.25*pitch
Example:
M14x2
Thread depth = 0.6134 x 2 = 1.226 mm
Minor diameter = 14-(1.226*2)= 11.54 mm
Crest face width = 0.125*2 = 0.25 mm
Root face width = 0.25*2 = 0.5 mm
