ISO 724 - Metric Threads
Dimensions of metric threads according ISO 724
Sponsored Links

ISO 724 specifies basic dimensions of metric threads in accordance with ISO 261. Dimensions refer to the basic profile in accordance with ISO 68.

There are three kinds of ISO metric threads:

coarse
fine
extra fine

The thread angle is 60o. The thread depth is 0.614 x pitch.

Metric Threads - Fine Thread Pitches

It is common to designate metric fine threads with the capital M plus an indication to their nominal outer diameter and their pitch:

M size x pitch
