What does the 6h mean on a tap?

H and L limits are used for inch size ground thread taps. H (high) represents a pitch diameter that is larger than the basic pitch diameter, and L (low) represents a pitch diameter that is smaller. The number after the H or L, indicates the amount it is different than the basic pitch diameter.

What does 6H mean on thread gauge?

Large letter = internal thread. 6 H is therefore the designation for the tolerance of the taps, with which an average fit between screw and nut is produced. The number stands for the degree of tolerance and the letter for the position of the tolerance field.

What does m12x1 6H mean?

For example: M12 x 1 - 6H/5g6g indicates a tolerance class of 6H for the nut (female) thread and a 5g tolerance class for the pitch diameter with a 6g tolerance class for the major diameter. A tolerance class is made up of two parts, a tolerance grade and a tolerance position.

What does G mean in thread?

G (supposedly from German/English “Gas”) are the cylindrical pipe threads with 55°apex angle used on originally inch based pipes. BSPP thread is often referred to as “G” threads, the two types of thread are the same parallel straight, the threads are measured in threads per inch. Therefore, BSPP is the same as G.

What is nut thread tolerance 6h?

M10 bolts of the tolerance category 6h have a tolerance of up to 0.236 mm. This tolerance is subtracted from the zero line – the outermost dimension. The outer diameter of such bolts is therefore between 9.764 and 10 mm. If such bolts are coated, their thread is slightly thicker on the base, the flanks and the tip.

What class of fit for threads?

For Unified inch screw threads there are six standard classes of fit: 1B, 2B, and 3B for internal threads; and 1A, 2A, and 3A for external threads. All are considered clearance fits. That is, they assemble without interference. The higher the class number, the tighter the fit.

Do metric threads have classes?

A fit between metric threads is indicated by internal thread class fit followed by external thread tolerance class separated by a slash; e.g., M10 x 1.5-6H/6g. The class fit is specified by tolerance grade (numeral) and by tolerance position (letter).

What is the difference between 2B and 3B taps?

Class 2B Thread consists of a 2A screw in a 2B hole. This 2B Thread has wide application, accommodates plating, finishes, and coating to a limited extent and, therefore, has fair tolerance allowances. Class 3B Thread means a 3A Screw in a 3B Nut or threaded hole for applications where tolerance limits are close.
