EXPLANATORY NOTE

This standard was first published in 1967, covering the eternal threads of basic profile as per
IS0 metric threads and the limits corresponding to Sk6 class of DIN 13 and 14, Supplement 14.
Internal IS0 metric threads of 6H class were recommended for mating with these threads for
interference fit.

From the experience gained it was observed that the fit obtained by the above combination
needed improvement for satisfactory interference applications. Further some of the industries were
using a still closer interference fit threads ( corresponding to Sn4 class of DIN 13 and 14, supplement
14) which were also to be taken care of in this standard.

Considering the above points, following modifications have been made in this revision:

a) The maximum clearance between the mating threads has been reduced by shifting the
position of tolerance zone slightly such that the entire tolerance on pitch diameter is on
positive side. Accordingly the tolerance zone of minor diameter has also been shifted up-
wards. However, the amount of tolerance has been retained same in both cases. No change
is made in either the value or position of major diameter. These changes also increase the
maximum interference between the mating threads.

b) Two classes of internal threads that is 6H and 5H have been recommended for mating threads,
so that general as well as closer interference fit can be achieved.

In preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from DIN 13 and 14, Supplement
14-1944 Metric screw threads, screw threads for interference fit fastenings without sealing action (for
inserted ends of studs), issued by the Deutsches lnstitut fiir Normung.
