Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 1, Screw threads.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition
ISO (ISO 2901:1993), which has been technically

revised. The following changes have been made:

— the phrase “maximum material profiles” has been replaced by “design profiles”;
— the reference ISO 2903 has been replaced by ISO 5408;
— the symbols have been updated;
— the definition of basic profile has been deleted;
— Figure 2 has been revised and Figure 3 has been deleted.

ISO metric trapezoidal screw threads — Basic and design

profiles

1 Scope
This document specifies the basic and design profiles of ISO metric trapezoidal screw threads.
This document is chiefly applicable to traversing threads for traversing motion on machines, tools, etc.
It can also be used for fastening threads.

2 Normative references
There are no normative references in this document.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 5408 apply.

H2 = 0,5 P
w = (H − H2) P/(2H) = 0,366 P

6 Design profile
The two design profiles are shown as a thick line in Figure 2. They are different between internal and
external threads. The limit deviations are applied to the design profiles.
The dimensions of the design profiles are given in Table 2.
H0 = H2 = 0,5P
h3 = H4 = H0 + ac = 0,5P + ac
D1 = d − 2H0 = d − P
d2 = D2 = d − H0 = d − 0,5P
d3 = d − 2h3 = d − 2(0,5P + ac)
D4 = d + 2ac
R1 max = 0,5ac
R2 max = ac
In the case of manufacture by rolling, the profile at the minor diameter can be modified in order to
obtain a larger rounding on the root of the external thread. The minor diameter d3 of the external
thread may in this case be reduced by 0,15P.
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
If the modification of the profile becomes necessary, due to the particular methods of manufacture, it
shall be agreed upon between the customer and the manufacturer.
