Important Terminology:: Nominal Diameter, D Pitch, P Pitch Diameter, Lead

This document discusses various types of screw thread designs and their applications. It defines nominal diameter, pitch, and pitch diameter. It describes BIS and ISO metric thread standards as well as coarse and fine thread series. Various thread types are explained such as V-thread for strength, square thread for power transmission, Acme thread for high pressure applications, and worm thread for power transmission to worm wheels. Thread designation and representations of external, internal, left, right, single, and multi-start threads are also covered at a high level.

Important Terminology: Nominal Diameter, D Pitch, P Pitch Diameter, Lead

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) - ISO (International Organisation for Standards) Metric Threads

BIS recommendation: (i) coarse series (ii) fine series

Large contact area, more frictional resistance. Application: Used where effective positioning is required. It is also used in brass pipe work.

(British), Rounded ends, making it less liable to damage than sharp V-thread.

For power transmission. Enables the nut to transmit very high pressures, as in the case of a screw jack and other similar applications

Exhibits the advantages of square thread, like the ability to transmit power and low frictional resistance, with the strength of the V-thread. It is used where power transmission takes place in one direction only such as screw press, quick acting carpenters vice, etc.

Worm thread is similar to the ACME thread, but is deeper. It is used on shafts to carry power to worm wheels.

It is a modified form of square thread. It is much stronger than square thread because of the wider base and it is easy to cut. The inclined sides of the thread facilitate quick and easy engagement and disengagement as for example, the split nut with the lead screw of a lathe.

Can withstand heavy wear and rough usage. Used in coupler of railway carriages and electrical bulbs.
