Metric thread - a brief overview

In order to choose the right tool, you should be reasonably familiar with the basics of M threads. We have summarised the most important facts and figures for metric threads here.

History and distribution of the ISO metric thread

The standard for the metric thread was established as early as 1947 - soon after the International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) was founded. Shortly afterwards, the metric thread began its worldwide triumphal march, which continues to this day. In Europe in particular, the M thread is the undisputed standard for screws, nuts and other standardised parts.

Features of the metric standard thread

The metric thread is defined according to DIN 13-1. It specifies Dimensions from 1 to 68 mm outside diameter. The thread angle is 60°. The thread designation is made up of the abbreviation M and a numerical value that describes the nominal diameter.
