    How can I calculate tolerances for metric thread pitch diameter?

    Hello experts
    What's the formula for calculating the max/min pitch diameters for a given metric thread? The tolerance grade is 6g. I've been trying to find a COMPREHENSIVE reference table for thread tolerances but to no avail (a well concealed secret ). Is there any software available for calculating thread max/min/pitch dimensions and tolerances?

    I'd be very thankful for any help.

    Thanks but that's not really the answer I'm looking for - no mention of calculating tolerances. Let's take an external M48x3 thread, for example. The maximum pitch diameter is 46.05 and minimum 45.86. How are these values derived?

    NUMBER = size of tolerance field. The position of the field in relation to the "Zero" line (Nominal size) is given by a LETTER representing the size of the "base deviation".
    Base deviation is the upper deviation (external) or the lower deviation (internal) thread.

    ______
    I
    I Tol.
    ______

    ------------------Nom. Size

    ______
    I
    I Tol.
    ______

    To designate a thread the tol. number and position are given in reverse i.e. 6g (g6 for shafts etc)

    It gets pretty complicated. So if you really need it get a book.
    Order from "Beuth" in English pocketbook Nr. 45, ISSN 0342-801X English
    ISBN 3-410-11827-6

    Some help is here:http://euler9.tripod.com/bolt-database/22.html

    Metric Fine Thread M48x3
    Pitch dia 4h = 46.051/45.919
    6g = 46.003/45.791
    8g = 46.003/45.668
    Good luck - Juergen

    for all that you neet 1 ISO and 1 DIN.
    the DIN 13 for the thread
    and the ISO 286 for the tolerances
