Thread run-outs and thread undercuts for {

ISO metric threads as in DIN 13-1 76-1
ICS 21.040.10 Supersedes
December 1983 edition.
Gewindeausläufe und Gewindefreistiche –
Teil 1: Für Metrisches ISO-Gewinde nach DIN 13-1

In keeping with current practice in standards published by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), a comma has been used throughout as the decimal marker.

Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee Fachgrundnormen of the Normenausschuss
Mechanische Verbindungselemente (Fasteners Standards Committee).
It is based on International Standards ISO 3508 : 1976 and ISO 4755 : 1983. As a departure from ISO 4755,
which specifies only one type of thread undercut with g2 max = 3 P, this standard specifies two types, i.e. type
A with g2 max = 3,5 P (normal design) and type B with g2 max = 2,5 P (short design). Type B thread undercuts
are intended for use on a case-by-case basis, where required for technical reasons; the use of special tools
is necessary here.
It should be noted that ISO 3508 and ISO 4755 do not contain specifications for thread run-outs and thread
undercuts for internal threads.

Amendments
This standard differs from the December 1983 edition in that it has been editorially revised.

Previous editions
DIN 2352: 1924-11; DIN LON 369-1 = DIN 30140-1:1936-12; DIN 76-1: 1924-09, 1943-04, 1953-11,
1965-09, 1967-06, 1975-09, 1983-12.

All dimensions are in millimetres.

1 Scope
This standard specifies dimensions for thread run-outs and thread undercuts for bolts, screws and similar
components with external or internal ISO metric (coarse or fine pitch) thread as in DIN 13-1 and DIN ISO 261.

In the case of fine pitch threads, the dimensions of thread run-outs and thread undercuts shall be selected as
a function of the pitch.
NOTE 1: The dimensions of thread run-outs and thread undercuts for pipe threads are specified in DIN 76-2,
and those for trapezoidal threads, buttress threads, knuckle threads and other coarse pitch threads are
specified in DIN 76-3.
NOTE 2: For other types of screw thread (e.g. UNF threads), it is recommended that the relationships between
thread run-outs (x or e values) and the pitch be used by analogy.
