Calculation Involving Pitch Related to ISO Thread Profile

In the ITI Turner trade, ISO metric threads are widely used for fastening and mechanical applications. Accurate calculation of thread dimensions based on pitch is essential for producing correct thread profiles. This chapter explains the calculations related to pitch in the ISO thread profile in detail.

Introduction to ISO Thread Profile

The ISO metric thread is a standard thread form used internationally. It has a symmetrical V-shape with a thread angle of 60°.

Basic Features

• Thread angle: 60°
• Crest and root are flattened
• Standardized dimensions

Definition of Pitch

Pitch is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent threads measured parallel to the axis.

Important Terms in ISO Thread

• Major Diameter (D): Largest diameter
• Minor Diameter (d1): Smallest diameter
• Pitch Diameter (d2): Effective diameter
• Pitch (P): Distance between threads

Basic Thread Height

The height of the fundamental triangle:

H = 0.866 × P

Working Thread Height

Effective height of thread:

h = 0.613 × P

Core (Minor) Diameter Calculation

d1 = D – 1.226 × P

Pitch Diameter Calculation

d2 = D – 0.6495 × P

Example Calculation

Given:
Major diameter (D) = 20 mm
Pitch (P) = 2 mm

1. Basic height:
H = 0.866 × 2 = 1.732 mm

2. Working height:
h = 0.613 × 2 = 1.226 mm

3. Core diameter:
d1 = 20 – (1.226 × 2) = 20 – 2.452 = 17.548 mm

4. Pitch diameter:
d2 = 20 – (0.6495 × 2) = 20 – 1.299 = 18.701 mm
