  2. Screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

    Similarly, M10 (10 mm nominal outer diameter) as per ISO 261 has a coarse thread version at 1.5 mm pitch and a fine thread version at 1.25 mm pitch. The term coarse here does not mean lower quality, nor does the term fine imply higher quality. The terms when used in reference to screw thread pitch have nothing to do with the tolerances used ...

  3. ISO metric screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread

    A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by a dash or sometimes the multiplication sign, × (e.g. M8-1.25 or M8×1.25). If the pitch is the normally used "coarse" pitch listed in ISO 261 or ...

  4. Unified Thread Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard

    The thread form is slightly modified to increase the minor diameter, and thus the strength of screws and taps. The major diameter still extends to within ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ H of the theoretical sharp V, but the total depth of the thread is reduced 4% from ⁠ 5 / 8 ⁠ H = ⁠ 5 / 8 ⁠ cos(30°) P ≈ 0.541P to 0.52P. [5]

    1 m – approximate height of the top part of a doorknob on a door; 1 mdiameter of a very large beach ball; 1.29 m – length of the Cross Island Chapel, the smallest church in the world; 1.4 m – length of a Peel P50, the world's smallest car; 1.435 m – standard gauge of railway track used by about 60% of railways in the world = 4 ft 8 ...

  6. List of drill and tap sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drill_and_tap_sizes

    Regarding the proportion of tap drill to thread major diameter, for standard V threads (ISO V thread and UTS V thread), there are several rules of thumb with strong predictive power: A good tap drill is 85% (± 2 pp ) of major diameter for coarse threads, and 90% (± 2 pp ) of major diameter for fine threads.

  7. ISO 965 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_965

    ISO 965 (ISO general purpose metric screw thread—tolerances) is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for metric screw thread tolerances. [1] It specifies the basic profile for ISO general purpose metric screw threads (M) conforming to ISO 261 .

  8. British Standard Whitworth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_Whitworth

    Two spanners, both nominal size 58 in, with a diagram superimposed to show the logic that allows them both to be nominal size 58 in when their actual sizes are clearly different (across-flats distance vs screw diameter). The across-flats definition is the common standard today, and has been for many decades.

  9. Unit of length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_length

    [7] [8] This copper bar was discovered in Nippur, on the banks of the Euphrates, and is kept in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum. Archaeologists consider that this 51.85 centimetres long unit was the origin of the Roman foot. Indeed, the Egyptians divided the Sumerian cubit into 28 fingers and 16 of these fingers gave a Roman foot of 29.633 ...
