21 Multi start threads

22 Thread forms Square. Size unlimited. No accepted relationship between pitch and diameter. Used for transmission of power, little friction.

23 Thread forms Acme. Size: unlimited. Replaces the square thread for many purposes, e.g. lathe, lead screws, power transmission and motion.

24 Thread forms Buttress. Size: unlimited. Used for quick release mechanism, e.g. vice.

25 Thread forms B.A (British Association) No. 0 to No. 10. Used for small instrument work. A full range goes down to No. 30. Teeth expressed in pitch not TPI

26 Thread forms B.S.W (British Standard Whitworth) 1/8 to 3. Coarse pitch, used for general engineering and for threads in soft materials. B.S.F (British Standard Fine) 3/16 to 2. Fine pitch, used for parts subject to vibration; lock nuts

27 Thread forms ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Metric system is now adopted as the standard screw thread in this country. The thread form shown is that for a nut. P= Pitch H= Height

30 Making thread forms Thread Rolling

31 Internal threads Internal threads are produced with taps. This is a First tap which is used to start producing the thread form in a hole

32 Internal threads This is a Second or Intermediate tap which is used after the First tap has been used.

33 Internal threads This is a Plug or Bottoming tap which is used to finish the threaded hole.

34 External threads Split dies are used to produce external threads on a diameter.

35 External threads A die nut is normally used to repair a thread that has become damaged.
