[And] For internal threads :"G"=small allowance :"H"=no allowance.

OBS

Record 3 2002-09-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
  • Joining Elements (Mechanical Components)
CONT

The complete designation of an ISO metric thread includes the basic designation [the letter M followed by the nominal size in millimeters and the pitch] followed by the specification for tolerance class. The tolerance class designation includes the symbol for the pitch-diameter tolerance followed by the symbol for the crest-diameter tolerance. Each of these symbols consists of a number indicating the tolerance grade followed by a letter indicating the tolerance position. A dash separates the tolerance-class designation from the basic designation. When the pitch-diameter and crest-diameter tolerance symbols are identical, the symbol is given only once.... [Example :] M6 X 1-5g 6g.

OBS

tolerance grade: term standardized by ISO. Aerospace Rivets.

Filetages profil ISO. (filetages métriques à filet triangulaire, remplaçant le profil SI) suivant normes NF E03-001 et 013 (février 1959). [...] Se substituent à l'ancien profil SI [...]

OBS

Le système de filetage le plus couramment utilisé est le profil métrique ISO (International Organization for Standardization), constitué par un triangle équilatéral dont le côté est égal au pas.

OBS

OBS

Filetage NPT (Briggs) [...]. Filetage API [...]. Ces filetages ont un profil analogue, le même pas et la même conicité, mais des tolérances d'usinage différentes (sur la troncature et la conicité, par exemple). Dans la pratique, un filetage API SL remplace un filetage NPT, mais la réciproque ne convient pas, les tolérances étant plus larges.
