Metric External Thread Dimensions Chart
This metric external thread chart lists limiting diameters for common tolerance classes (for example 6g and 6h)
per ASME B1.13M (M profile). Use it to look up major diameter (d), pitch diameter (d2),
and minor diameters (d1 flat root and d3 rounded root) in mm.
Popular lookups: M6 x 1 6g, M8 x 1.25 6g, M10 x 1.5 6g, M10 x 1.5 6h.

FAQ
What do d, d2, d1 and d3 mean?
For external metric threads: d is major diameter, d2 is pitch diameter,
d1 is maximum minor diameter (flat root), and d3 is minimum minor diameter (rounded root).
What are the dimensions for M10 x 1.5 (6g)?
Select M10 x 1.5 and tolerance class 6g. The calculator shows the limiting diameters and the chart row below.
Which standard is this chart based on?
ASME B1.13M (Metric Screw Threads: M Profile). Many practices align with common ISO metric tolerancing.
