Thread Standards

Thread standards are agreed-upon specifications that define the size, shape, and pitch of screw and bolt threads, ensuring compatibility and proper fit between fasteners and their corresponding components. These standards, maintained by organizations like ISO and ANSI, specify dimensions such as diameter, thread angle, and pitch, allowing parts from different manufacturers to work together reliably. By following these standards, engineers and manufacturers ensure that fasteners will screw into their intended parts smoothly and securely, promoting safety, ease of assembly, and interchangeability across various applications.
