Major diameter — The largest diameter of a straight screw thread. This applies to both internal and external threads. nut 2. Pitch diameter — On a straight thread, it is the diameter which passes through the thread profiles at such points which make the thread width of the groove equal to one-half of the basic pitch. On a “perfect thread,” this occurs at the point where the major diameter widths of the thread and groove are equal. pitch diameter3. Thread angle (included) — The included angle betweenlead angle the individual flanks of the thread form. minor diameter 4. Minor diameter — The smallest diameter of a straight screw thread. This applies to both internal and external threads. lead 5. Lead angle — On a straight thread, the lead angle is the angle thread angle created by the helix of the thread at the pitch diameter with included pitch a plane perpendicular to the axis. 6. Lead — The distance a screw thread advances axially in one revolution. On a single start, the pitch and lead are identical. crest The lead is equal to the pitch times the number of starts. root 7. Pitch — The distance from a point on a screw thread to a corresponding point on the next thread measured parallel screw to the thread axis. 8. Crest — The outer most surface of the thread form which joins the flanks. 9. Root — The inner most surface of the thread form which NOTE: Threads per inch (TPI) not shown: joins the flanks. The number of threads per inch measured axially. The terms pitch and TPI are often used interchangeably. TPI = 1/pitch widia.com F79
