Mechanical Engineering Thread Standards
American Standard B1.1-1949
First American standard to cover the Unified Thread Series agreed upon
by the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. Represents the
basic American standard for fastener threads. Threads made to this
standard are called unified threads.
10
Mechanical Engineering Thread Series
Thread Series: groups of diameter-pitch combinations distinguished
from each other by the number of threads per inch applied to a specific
diameter.
M-Series
Metric system of diameters, pitches, and tolerance/allowances.
11
Mechanical Engineering Thread Classes
Define the amount of tolerance and allowance associated with a
particular thread.
An example of the standard method used to designate bolt and screw thread
requirements on a drawing or in a specification.

Mechanical Engineering Tensile Stress Area
The average axial stress in a fastener is computed
using a tensile stress area.
Tests of threaded rods have shown that an unthreaded rod having a diameter equal to the
mean of the pitch diameter and the minor diameter will have the same tensile strength as the
threaded rod. (see Table 8.1, 8.2.)
15
Mechanical Engineering Bolt Strength
Proof load (Fp ): The maximum load (force) that a bolt
can withstand without acquiring a permanent set.
