British Standard Whitworth (BSW) is an imperial-unit-based screw thread standard, devised and specified by Joseph Whitworth in 1841 and later adopted as a British Standard. It was the world's first national screw thread standard, and is the basis for many other standards, such as BSF , BSP , BSCon , and BSCopper .
British Standard Fine (BSF) is a screw thread form, as a fine-pitch alternative to British Standard Whitworth (BSW) thread. It was used for steel bolts and nuts on and in much of Britain's machinery, including cars, prior to adoption of Unified , and later Metric , standards.
This was simplified in the BA thread definition by defining the thread angle to be 47.5° exactly and the thread form to be symmetrical with a depth of 3 / 5 p. The British Standards Institution recommends the use of BA sizes in favour of the smaller British Standard Whitworth (BSW) and British Standard Fine (BSF) thread screws (those ...
Different (and incompatible) threads including (from left) M12 left hand, standard M12, M12x1.5 (fine), M12x1.25 (fine), 1/2" UNF, 1/2" UNC, 1/2" BSW, and 1/2" BSF. The cross-sectional shape of a thread is often called its form or threadform (also spelled thread form). It may be square, triangular, trapezoidal, or other shapes.

The thread form follows the British Standard Whitworth standard: Symmetrical V-thread in which the angle between the flanks is 55° (measured in an axial plane) One-sixth of this sharp V is truncated at the top and the bottom; The threads are rounded equally at crests and roots by circular arcs ending tangentially with the flanks where r ≈ 0 ...
