ISO metric thread database

Type a designation, get every dimension.

M, MJ, and Tr -- basic dimensions computed from ISO 724/2904, plus ISO 965-1 pitch diameter tolerance limits for a class like 6g or 6H. Metric threads are identified by pitch (the millimeter distance between crests), not threads per inch, so start by typing the designation exactly as it appears on the print.

MØ12 mmP 1.5 mm6g

Small allowance -- the common general-purpose external class.

Try “M12x1.5-6g”, “M8” (coarse pitch assumed), “MJ6-4h6h”, or “Tr20x4-8H”. Add “-LH” for a left-hand thread.

M· ISO General Purpose

The standard 60 degree thread used globally for fasteners. Coarse pitch is the default; fine pitch requires stating the pitch explicitly.

MJ· Aerospace / High-Fatigue

Shares the 60 degree M profile but adds a strictly controlled, enlarged root radius to resist stress fractures under cyclic load.

Tr· Trapezoidal

The metric equivalent of Acme threads: a 30 degree thread angle for lead screws and heavy power transmission, not fastening.
