While revising this part of the standard which was first published in 1967, the following changes have been made: Design profiles of screw thread with allowance have been added. in Table 4, the values for 1 1/4 H and 1 5/12H which are redundant have been eliminated. Notes on design profile and production of external threads have now been brought under Appendix A, as they do not form a part of the standard, This part is one of a series of parts on ISO metric screw threads. The different parts are as under: Part Basic and design profiles Part2 Diameter pitch combinations. Part3 Basic dimensions for design profiles Part4 Tolerancing system Parts Tolerances. In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been derived from the following publications: ISO 68 "ISO general purpose screw threads—Basic profiles’. International Organization for Standar- ization, DIN 13 Sheet 19 “Metrisches 1SO-Gewinde; Grundprofil_ und Fertigungsprofile’ (ISO metric threads —Basic profile and production profiles). Deutsches institut fur Normung. APPENDIX A NOTES ON DESIGN PROFILE AND PRODUCTION OF EXTERNAL THREADS A, Notes on Design Profile 4.4 Maximum Depth of Engagement—The design profiles of external and internal threads as shown in ig. 2, are such that if a pair of screw threads of the same basic size (each in maximum material condition) |g assembled, contact between the two threads will be at the flanks over the radial depth of 5/8 H which is. the maximum depth of engagement. AA.2 Roots of External and Internal Threads 1.2.1 To provide resistance to fatigue and shock toads, the roots of the external threads shall be round- ed off within the limiting profile and cleared beyond a flat of width P/4 at the minor diameter of the internal thread. The root of the internal thread shall be rounded off and cleared beyond a flat of width P/8 at the ma jor diameter of the external thread. ‘A1.2.2 The crests of the threads of GO screw ring and plug gauges are made flat and of P/4 and P/B width respectively. They may not, threfore, be used to inspect the form of the rounding at the roots of external and internal threads. Optical methods may, however, be used to inspect them. 4.3 Crests of External Threads A.1.3.1 The basic and design profiles of ISO metric external thread (see Fig. 1 and 2) show the crest as flat but modern methods of manufacture result in large quantities of external threads with crests partially or even completely rounded. The departure fram flat crest is not detrimental. While the limiting profiles within which the form of the crests of external threads should lie are represented by two full ines shown in Fig. 5, the minimum limiting profile shall, in practice, be taken as rounded at the crest as shown by the dotted arc. ‘A.1.3.2 The actual form of any rounding of the crests of external threads is not checked by GO screw ring gauge, since the roots of the threads of these gauges are cleared to accept maximum material threads with flat crests of width Ps, ‘A.1.3.3 In some cases, the external thread may be required to have rounded crest. This should be stated following the appropriate designation. The normal radius of such rounding is 0.108 25P. ‘A.2, Notes on the Production of External Threads A.2.1 The actual profile of the crest of an ISO metric external thread depends on the method of manufacture.Is : 4218(Part 1)-1976 FIG. § LIMITING PROFILES AT CRESTS OF EXTERNAL THREADS A214 The limiting profiles permit the use of a new form too! having a minimum crest radius of 0.108 25P. ‘This tool may be retained in service until its crest radius wears to 0.144 34P. However, if ue care is taken of the tool wear, the rounded crest should rarely reach the dotted profile shown in Fig. 5. A.2.1.2 A single ribbed grinding wheel or a single point cutting tool produces a flat crest as shown in Fig. 6, whereas a crushed milti-ribbed wheel produces a crest profile as shown in Fig. 7.

A GhusHeD MULTIMBBED ‘SINGLE POINT TOOL A.2.1.3 The crest profile produced by the thread rolling process is shown in Fig. 8. The crests of external threads resulting from this process will normally fall above the minimum limiting profile shown in Fig. 5. FIG, 8 CREST PRODUCED BY THREAD ROLLING 2.1.4 A thread cutting die having root radius of 0.108 25P produces a crest as shown in Fig. 9. With a cor. rectly formed tool there will be no serious loss of straight flank even when it cuts a thread of minimum pitch diameter as shown in Fig. 9. ‘A2.2 The following advantages are associated with external threads with rounded crests: a) External threads with rounded crests are less susceptible to damage by burring in handling and transport than those having flat crests, which result in sharp or semi-sharp edges al the major diameter of the external threads.1S : 4218(Part 1)-1976 ) Troubles associated with plating are far less serious if the crests of the external threads are rounded, in the plating of external threads by the usual barrel plating process. the burring of flatrested threads ‘may be quite serious and in stil-vat process the plating tends to build up round the two edges at the ma, jor diameter and encroaches upon the flanks. ©) Ths diveas on thread rolling dies are stronger, less subject to fatigue failure are easier to grind ifthe fooIs are rounded rather [han sharp-cornere ih Re =0.10825P LIMITING PROFILE, max.
