  2. British Association screw threads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Association_screw...

    A 2BA thread is used to connect the metal barrel of a dart to its shaft — as such, it is one of the few common uses of this thread in North America. In the UK, 2BA threads are commonly found in the old imperial British Engineering Standards Association (BESA) conduit boxes , and 4BA threads in light switch and socket back boxes which are ...

  3. Unified Thread Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard

    The standard designation for a UTS thread is a number indicating the nominal (major) diameter of the thread, followed by the pitch measured in threads per inch.For diameters smaller than ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ inch, the diameter is indicated by an integer number defined in the standard; for all other diameters, the inch figure is given.

  4. Preferred metric sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_metric_sizes

    Shelf where the shelf bearing holes are placed with 32 mm distances from center to center, giving flexible choices for shelve positioning.. System 32 is a standard for the design and manufacture of furniture, most commonly used in the design of cabinets, wherein the major parts (sides, doors, etc.) are available in increments of 32 mm, and shelf supports consist of columns of 5 mm holes on 32 ...

    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 ...

    25 mm to 60 mm with 5 mm steps; 60 mm to 110 mm with 10 mm steps; 110 mm to 140 mm with 15 mm steps; 140 mm to 500 mm with 20 mm steps; The standard lengths of the shafts are 5 m, 6 m and 7 m. Usually 1m to 5m is used.

  7. Engineering tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    This is a standardised measure of the maximum difference in size between the component and the basic size (see below). For example, if a shaft with a nominal diameter of 10 mm is to have a sliding fit within a hole, the shaft might be specified with a tolerance range from 9.964 to 10 mm (i.e., a zero fundamental deviation, but a lower deviation ...

  8. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    M · 1 + 0.5 mm; M · 1 + 0.75 mm; In smaller sizes, bits are available in smaller diameter increments. This reflects both the smaller drilled hole diameter tolerance possible on smaller holes and the wishes of designers to have drill bit sizes available within at most 10% of an arbitrary hole size.

  9. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    1.5 mm – average length of a flea [27] 2.54 mm – distance between pins on old dual in-line package (DIP) electronic components; 5 mm – length of an average red ant; 5 mm – diameter of an average grain of rice; 5.56×45mm NATO – standard ammunition size; 6 mm – approximate width of a pencil
