• No extrusion of excess metal beyond apex of the point resulting from thread rolling shall be permissible. A slight rounding or truncation of the point is desirable.
  • The width of flat at crest of thread shall not exceed 0.004 in. for sizes up to and including No. 8, and 0.006 in. for larger sizes.
  • Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be omitted.
  • Sizes shown in boldface type are preferred.
  • For determining the effective grip length of Type AB screws.
