On a screw thread, the major diameter is the largest diameter of the thread on the screw or nut. * Minor Diameter Called the root diameter, the minor diameter is the smallest diameter of the thread on the screw or nut. Pitch diameter Diameter of imaginary cylinder that passes through thread at point where groove and thread widths are equal Equal to major diameter minus single depth of thread Tolerance and allowances given at pitch diameter line * * Number of Threads The number of threads per inch. Pitch The distance from a given point on one thread to a corresponding point on the very next thread * Lead The distance a screw thread advances in one revolution. The lead and the pitch of a single lead thread are the same. On double lead threads, the lead is twice the pitch. A double lead thread has two start points. * * Single Lead Double Lead Right-hand thread Helical ridge of uniform cross section onto which nut is threaded in clockwise direction When cut on lathe, toolbitadvanced from right to left * * Left-hand thread Helical ridge of uniform cross section onto which nut is threaded in counterclockwise direction ISO Metric American National Standard Thread British Standard Whitworth (BSW) Thread Unified Thread American National Acme Thread Square Thread Brown Sharpe Worm Thread International Metric thread * Divided into four main series, all having same shape and proportio
