Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Part 3 ) (Third Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards,
after the draft finalized by the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee
( LM 14 ) had been approved by the Light Mechanical Engineering Division Council ( LMDC ).
When a threading operation is not performed throughout the iength of the component, then clue
to the necessary throat angle or taper lead on the screwing tool, the last few threads cannot be
Perfectly formed. The length of these washout threads makes the thread run-out -on the
Component.
An undercut of reasonable width allows threads to be cut on a component up to end without the
end face of the screwing tool fouling the component. Design requirements are usually for a
reasonable degree of control on the diameter at the root or crest of the undercut to avoid
weakeni!lg the section at this point, and for sufficient radius at the end of the undercut to avoid
stress concentration. The production requirement is for an adequate width of undercut to allow
the use of dies ar,d taps with a reasonable throat angle or taper lead.
It is well known that too narrow undercuts or the ~demand for perfect or full threads UP to the
shoulder or to the bottom of blind holes add subsequently to manufacturing cost by necessitating
the use of special taps and dies. This may require a second screwing operation, or resort to
process, such as thread milling or grinding. It is suggested that where recommendations for any
of the standard forms of undercut appear at first sight to be inapplicable, an endeavour shall be
made to accommodate them by alterations in design, for example, by using through tapped holes.
A counterbore or undercut on the first few threads of an internal thread may readily be drilled
when tapping a hole and is much simpler to produce than equivalent undercut on the mating
external thread.
This standard IS 1369 Dimensions for screw thread run-outs and undercuts originally published
in 1961 and subsequently revised in 1975 and 1982. This revision has been taken up to publish this
standard in three parts. This standard ( Part 3 ) covers the dimensions for screw thread run-outs
- and undercuts for internal threads ( blind tapped holes ). The dimensions for screw thread run-
outs and undercuts for external thread have been covered separately in IS 1369 ( Part I ) : 1993
and IS 1369 ( Part 2 ) : I993 respectively.
In the preparation of this standard considerable assistance has been derived from DIN 76
( Part 1 ) : 1983 Thread run-outs and thread undercuts ~for IS0 metric threads in accordance
with DIN 13.
