NOMINAL PITCH DIAMETER d2 & D2

d2/D2 = d/D – PDn (PDn = 0.5P)

EXTERNAL THREAD INTERNAL THREAD

P = Pitch
d = Major diameter D = Major diameter
 = Flank angle
O
d2 = Pitch diameter D2 = Pitch diameter 30

d1 = Minor diameter D1 = Minor diameter

Ref.: DIN 405 Part 1 (Knuckle thread – Profiles, basic sizes, general plan) & DIN 405 Part 2 (Deviations and
tolerances) These DIN standards contain much more information than is given here.
