METRIC THREAD SIZE AND TOLERANCE CALCULATOR (ISO M THREAD) UNIFIED THREADS
There are two calculation options available, general engineering use or custom use. Helicoil Tapped Hole
In general engineering use, calculations can be done by selecting a standard metric thread size from the list which
Tap Drill Size Calculator
contains metric thread sizes in the diameter range from 1.6 mm (M1.6) to 64 mm (M64). Tolerance class can be
selected among the alternatives 6e, 6f, 6g and 4h for bolts and 5H, 6H, 7H and 6G for nuts. 6g and 6H are default

values and selected class for commercial external threads and internal threads in ISO 965-1:1998. The user shall
use 6g for bolts and 6H for nuts unless there is a specific requirement to use other tolerance classes. Bolt Torque Calculator
In custom use, thread size, pitch and tolerance classes can be independently selected for custom engineering

Some important notes from ISO metric screw threads standards: METRIC THREADS
- External Screw Thread Designation: Nominal Diameter x Pitch - Tolerance class for pitch diameter - Tolerance
Clearance Holes for Bolts (metric)
class for major diameter (M10 x 1 5g 6g)
- According to ISO 1:2002 , standard reference temperature for geometrical product specification is 20 °C. Metric Tap Drill Sizes
- Gauges and gauging for ISO general purpose metric threads are defined in the ISO 1502:1996 standard.

Note : * 6g is normally selected for commercial external (bolt) threads. Use this tolerance class for commercial
external (bolt) threads. For usage of the other classes, refer to ISO 965-1:1998.
Note : ** 6H is normally selected for commercial internal (nut) threads. Use this tolerance class for commercial
internal threads. For usage of the other classes, refer to ISO 965-1:1998.

BASIC DIMENSIONS
Note-1: For coated threads, the tolerances apply to the parts before coating, unless otherwise stated. After
coating, the actual thread profile shall not at any point transgress the maximum material limits for positions h or
H. For external (bolt) threads; The actual root contours shall not at any point transgress the basic profile.
Fasteners of property class 8.8 and higher (see ISO 898-1), the root profile shall have a non-reversing curvature,
no portion of which shall have a radius of less than Rmin.
Definitions:
Basic profile: The theoretical profile of a screw thread in an axial plane defined by theoretical dimensions and angles
common to internal and external threads
Crest: The surface at the top of the ridge connecting its two flanks.
Gauges and Gauging: Details for the manufacture and use of gauges for checking ISO general-purpose metric
screw threads are specified in the ISO 1502:1996 standard. It specifies the features of the types of gauges
(Solid/adjustable GO screw ring gauges, check plugs, setting plugs, wear check plugs, screw caliper gauges, plug
gauges, etc.) which are recommended for checking external and internal screw threads of workplaces and for the
setting and checking of certain of the screw gauges.
Major Diameter: The maximum diameter of a thread which is diameter of the crest of a male thread or root of a
female thread.
Minor Diameter: The minimum diameter of a thread which is diameter of the root of a male thread or crest of a
female thread.
Root: The surface at the bottom of the groove connecting the adjacent flanks

1 for positions e, f, g
