Australian Standard
This Australian standard was prepared by Committee ME/28, Screw Threads. It was
approved on behalf of the Council of the Standards Association of Australia on
8 November 1984 and published on 4 April 1985.
Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australian Standards and related publi cati ons wil l be found in the Standards Australi a
Catalogue of Publi cati ons; this informati on is supplemented each month by the magazine The Australi an
Standard, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publi cati ons, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head offi ce of Standards Australi a,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

PREFACE
This edition of this standard was prepared by the Associations Committee on Screw Threads, to
supersede AS 12751972.
Since AS 1275 was first published, the major ISO standards dealing with metric screw threads (see
later listing) have been revised, and are now in conflict with the information given in
AS 12751972. This is particularly true with respect to the root curvature for external threads, and
the limits specified for the thread roots of both external and internal threads.
A further important consideration is that the ISO standards for metric screw threads are now being
adopted virtually unchanged by most developed and developing countries, and therefore it is
important that the Australian standards be aligned with their ISO counterparts as much as possible.
This has been the aim in this edition of the standard.
During the preparation of AS 1275 in the early 1970s, it was noted by the committee that the ISO
symbols used for the various screw thread parameters were illogical, and so a more logical system
was introduced in the Australian standards. This was supported by sustained comment to ISO/TC1
proposing the Australian symbols. Unfortunately the Australian proposals were not accepted by
ISO/TC1 and the original ISO symbols were retained. One of the major changes in this edition
therefore has been to introduce the ISO symbology for the screw thread parameters.
The other major change is with regard to the limits given for the thread roots on both external and
internal threads. In AS 12751972 these limits were completely specified, whereas in the ISO
standards only the minimum minor diameter is specified for external threads and the nominal (basic)
major diameter is given for internal threads; the actual limits being indirectly controlled by the
length of straight flanks. Furthermore a root curvature for external threads is only specified for
threads intended for fasteners of property Class 8.8 and above. All other external threads may have
a root configuration in accordance with the basic/design profile.
It was considered that the ISO approach on the limits for the thread roots was practical and should
be adopted, because this would permit maximum flexibility in manufacture without being unduly
detrimental to either the strength of the screw thread or to its assembly properties. However, the ISO
root curvature for external threads, taken to the extreme could cause problems by introducing a
notch effect, which may lead to fatigue failure in threads in some steels which have a high tensile
level and/or have been severely cold worked. A cautionary statement to this effect has therefore
been included in this standard.
This standard has been based on and is in complete alignment with the following ISO standards:

NOTES:
1.
For details of root curvature, see Clause 2.6.2 and Fig. 2.7.
2.
The actual form of any rounding of the crests or roots of the thread will not be detected by
conventi onal gauging since such gauges are cleared at the crest and root and only assess the straight
fl anks over the height of the basic profil e, i.e. 5/8 H radial depth.
3.
If assessment of the root curvature is required, verif ication by optical projection is necessary and it
is to be stated in the design requir ements.

3.6.2
Disposition of tolerance classes.
The
tolerance classes are disposed about the basic pitch
and major diameter for external threads and the basic
pitch and minor diameter for internal threads as
shown in Fig. 3.2.
3.6.3 Selection of tolerance classes.
3.6.3.1 General. The tolerance classes for the pitch
and crest diameter, shall be selected in accordance
with Clause 3.6.3.3, bearing in mind the type of
fastener, i.e. precision or commercial quality.
3.6.3.2 Length of axial thread engagement. The
tolerance classes given in this standard are intended
for the normal length of thread engagement as given
in Table 3.2. If the actual length of thread
engagement is unknown (as in the manufacturing of
standard bolts), the normal length of thread
engagement shall be assumed.
NOTE: For further informati on, see AS 1721.

APPENDIX A
The actual form of the crest of an external thread depends on the method of
manufacture.
If a single-ribbed grinding wheel or single-point cutting tool is used, a thread with a
completely flat crest will be produced, as illustrated in Fig. A1(a).
Use of a crushed multi-ribbed wheel produces a crest profile similar to that shown in
Fig. A1(b).
A typical form of crest produced by the thread rolling processes is shown in
Fig. A1(c). The crests of threads resulting from this process will normally fall wholly
above the minimum limiting profile shown in Figs 2.6 and 2.7.
Fig. A1(d) shows the form of crest produced by a thread cutting die of nominal root
radius, viz 125P. With a correctly formed tool, there will be no serious loss of straight
flank even when it cuts a thread on minimum diameter.
Provided that due care is taken in regard to the wear of tools, rounded crests should
rarely reach the dotted profile shown in Fig. 2.3.
It may be mentioned that the following advantages are associated with bolts with
rounded crests:
(a) Bolts with rounded crests are less susceptible to damage by burring in handling
and transport than those having flat crests, which result in sharp, or semi-sharp,
edges round the outside diameter of the bolt.
(b) Troubles associated with plating are far less serious if the crests of the bolts are
rounded. In the plating of bolts by the usual barrel plating process, the burring of
flat-crested bolts can be quite serious, and in the still-vat process the plating tends
to build up round the two edges at the outside diameter and encroaches upon the
flanks.
