1. YAMAWA P Class System

YAMAWA P Class system for thread limits is specified in accordance with JTA (The Japan Solid Cutting Tools’ Association). Pitch diameter tolerance zones for normal size M1〜M52 (U,W up to 2") are shown in the table below. Depending on pitch diameter tolerance and tolerance position, pitch diameter tolerance zones are classified into three types, A , B and C. (1) A type : 15μm tolerance. The tolerance of P1, P2, P3… is defined as basic +10〜+25μm, +25〜+40μm, +40〜+55μm and so on, respectively. (2) B type : 20μm tolerance. The tolerance of P1, P2, P3… is defined as basic +0〜+20μm, +20〜+40μm, +40〜+60μm and so on, respectively. (3) C type : 40μm tolerance. The tolerance of P2, P3, P4… is defined as basic +0〜+40μm, +20〜+60μm, +40〜+80μm and so on, respectively. YAMAWA P class system is made in a step form. It can be used to select depending on the tapping conditions.

In the thread limits of 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes (old JIS), the pitch diameter tolerances change depending on nominal size and pitch even if the class is same. On the other hand, in the thread limit of ISO2857 (current JIS), the pitch diameter tolerance is same HT JIS class 2
