NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( Part 2 ) ( Second Revision ) which is identical with ISO 261 :1998 ‘ISO general
purpose metric screw threads — General plan’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization
( ISO ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Engineering
Standards Sectional Committee and approval of the Basic and Production Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally issued in 1967 and subsequently revised in 1976. The first revision was
based on ISO 261:1973. This second revision has been issued by adopting ISO 261:1998.

This Committee, responsible for preparation of Indian Standards on Screw Threads, decided to revise
all tne six parts of IS 4218 in the following manner:

a) The revised IS 4218 to be published in four parts, that is ( Parts 1 to 4 ) adopting

ISO 68-1:1998, ISO 261:1998, ISO 724:1993 and ISO 262:1998 respectively covering the
various requirements of ISO general purpose metric screw threads except tolerances;

b) For tolerances on ISO general purpose metric sqrew threads a new standard, that is, IS 14962
to be published in five parts, that is ( Parts 1 to 5 ) by adopting ISO 965 ( Part 1 ) :1998,
ISO 965 ( Part 2 ) : 1998, ISO 965 ( Part 3 ) : 1998, ISO 965 ( Part 4 ) : 1998 and
ISO 965 ( Part 5 ) :1998 respectively; and

c) After the publication of above standards IS 4218 ( Part 5 ) :1979 and IS 4218 ( Part 6 ) :1978
stand withdrawn.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. In the adopted standard, certain conventions are not identical to those used in Indian Standards.
Attention is especially drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be
read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is
to use a full point (.) as the decimal marker.

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards
also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their place are listed
below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies ISO general purpose metric screw threads (M) having basic profile according
to ISO 68-1. Basic dimensions are given in ISO 724. For tolerances see ISO 965-1.

2 Normative references

The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to
revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

5 Choice of diameter and pitch
—
5.1 Choose, for preference, diameters in column 1 of table 2 and, if necessary, in column 2 and then in column 3.

Diameter 35 mm, and pitch 1,25 mm of diameter 14 mm shall be used only for the special cases indicated in the %
, “’
footnotes.

Pitches shown in parentheses are to be avoided as far as possible.

5.2 The words “coarse” and “fine” are given in order to conform to usage. No concept of quality shall, however, be
associated with these words.

It shall be understood that the “coarse” pitches are the largest metric pitches used in current practice.

5.3 For the diameter (or the diameter range) selected, choose one of the pitches shown on the corresponding line
(or lines).

5.4 If screw threads finer than those appearing in table 2 are found necessaty, only the following pitches shall be
used:

3 mm; 2 mm; 1,5 mm; 1 mm; 0,75 mm; 0,5 mm; 0,35 mm; 0,25 mm; 0,2 mm

When selecting such pitches, take into account the fact that there is increasing difficulty in complying with
tolerances as the diameter is increased for a given pitch. It is suggested, that diameters larger than those shown in
table 1 should generally not be used with the pitches indicated.

This standard was first published in 1963 and was based on DIN 6887-1956 which has since
been revised. While issuing this revision, the Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard
has brought this standard essentially in line with ISO/R 774-l 969 ’ Taper keys with or without Gib-head
and their corresponding keyways l. In addition, the weights of keys for specified lengths, derived from
Dl C 5887- 1968, have been included in the.standard.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( Part 1 ) ( Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 68-1:1998 ‘ISO general
purpose screw threads — Basic profile — Part 1: Metric screw threads’ issued by the International
Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation
of Engineering Standards Sectional Committee and approval of the Basic and Production Engineering
Division Council.

This standard was originally issued in 1967 and subsequently revised in 1976. The first revision was
based on ISO 68 and DIN 13 Sheet 19. This second revision has been issued by adopting
ISO 68-1:1998.

The Committee, responsible for preparation of Indian Standards on Screw Threads, decided to revise all
the six parts of IS 4218 in the following manner:

a) The revised IS 4218 to be published in four parts, that is Parts 1 to 4 adopting ISO 68-1 :1998,
i “
ISO 261:1998, ISO 724:1993 and ISO 262:1998 respectively covering the various requirements
of ISO general purpose metric screw threads except tolerances;

b) For tolerances on ISO general purpose metric screw threads a new standard that is IS 14962 to
be published in five parts, that is Parts 1 to 5 by adopting ISO 965 ( Part 1 ) :1998, ISO 965
( Part 2 ): 1998, ISO 965 ( Part 3 ): 1998, ISO 965 ( Part 4 ): 1998 and ISO 965 ( Part 5 ): 1998
respectively; and

c) After the publication of above standards, IS 4218 ( Part 5 ) :1979 and IS 4218 ( Part 6 ) :1978
stand withdrawn.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. In the adopted standard, certain conventions are not identical to those used in Indian Standards.
Attention is especially drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard. they should be
read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is
to use a full point (.) as the decimal marker.

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards
also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their place are listed
below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:
