trapezoidal profile, are used for elements that must perform the movement of
repeated displacement. They are typically used to convert turns into
displacements and vice versa. A very common example is used in height stools.
adjustable. The DIN 103 standard establishes a normalization of this type of threads, with
30º angle in the profile of the fillet. They are denoted by the symbol 'Tr' for the diameter
nominal, the sign 'x' and the step. If it has more than one thread, continue writing the letter
“P” and the dimension (coefficient between the pitch and the number of threads) in mm.
This same type of profile but with rounded edges makes up the thread with profile.
round that is indicated with the symbol 'Rd' instead of 'Tr'

In common screw fasteners, for fixed joints, the ISO metric thread is used, defined by the
UNE17-701 and normalized by UNE 17-702. The profile for a is shown in figure 4.

primitive formed by the encounters of the lateral faces of the fillets. The
Designation is made by the letter 'M' followed by the nominal diameter in
millimeters. If the pitch is not the thickness, the symbol 'x' is written and the pitch is also indicated in

In the UNE 17-703 standard, the dimensions of metric threads are further specified.
for its application in screws.

Another type of common thread profile is the cutting thread in which the thread has a section
almost triangular. It is used in carpentry, both for wood and aluminum, in all
those uses in which the screw itself threads into the base material. In the UNE 17 standard
008 it is recommended to use certain nominal diameters and the corresponding ones
inner diameters, steps and widths of the edge of the fillet. This type of screw thread is indicated
with the symbol 'Rc' followed by the nominal diameter and if necessary the indication of the
mentioned standard.

Finally, we will mention the profile of the Whitworth gas thread, standardized in
DIN 11. As a main characteristic of this type of thread, we can highlight the
tightness of its closure. For this reason, it is used in plumbing conduits and valve systems.

if not indicated, it is the normalized of 25/8 threads per inch.

The designation of the type of thread is done with the abbreviation of the type of thread.

In general, the screws, bolts, and nuts themselves are also standardized.
Just refer to the standard that regulates it, indicate the nominal diameter, the length
threaded and the type of tip so that the screw or bolt is perfectly defined.
The same happens with nuts, whose types are also standardized..
Types of Threads:
There are several types of thread, such as:
metric threads (M),
fine unified thread (UNF)
normal unified thread (current) (UNC)
Fine pitch Whitworth screw
Whitworth normal pitch screw thread (BSWoW), among others.

The differences are based on the shape of the fillets that make them more suitable for one task or another.
The indicated screws are the most used in joining elements.
In the following figure, various forms of threads are seen, triangular fillets are used in bolts and
nuts, round threads are used in quick connections of pipes, finally the rectangular threads
They are generally used to exert force in presses.

Technically, a screw thread is an edge of uniform section that has

the shape of a helicoid on the external or internal surface of
a cylinder, or in the shape of a conical spiral on the surface
external or internal of a cone, or of a truncated cone. To the threading of
a cylinder is called a cylindrical thread and that made on a cone or
in a truncated cone, conical thread.

Normal types of threads: there are twelve types or series of threads

commercially important, which are the following:
 Coarse thread types: UNC and NC. Recommended for uses.
general where finer steps are not required.

Types of fine thread: UNF and NF. Essentially the same as the primitive.
SAE series, recommended for most jobs in the
automotive and aerospace industry.

Types of extra fine pitch: UNEF and NEF. Just like the old series.
SAE fine, it is recommended to be used on thin wall materials or
when a large number of fillets is required at a given length.

Type of eight threads. SN. In this series, there are eight threads per inch.
all diameters from 1 to 6 inches. This series is
recommended for pipe joints, piston bolts and
other closures where an initial tension in the element is established
of closure to resist vapor pressure, water, etc.

Series of twelve fillets; 12UN and 12N. This series has twelve threads per
inch for diameters ranging from ½ to 6 inches. The sizes
From ½ to 1 ¾ inches are used in boiler making.

Series of sixteen files: 16UN and 16N. This series has sixteen
per inch and covers diameters ranging from ¾ to 6 inches.
They are used in a wide variety of applications, such as
adjustment collars, retainers, etc. that require a very fine thread.

Acme thread.

Sawtooth ring.

Square bolt.

Brown sharpe screw

These last four types of thread, which are shown in Fig.3,

They are mainly used for power and motion transmission.

American normal thread for pipes: it is shown in figure 3, it is

the standard conical thread used in pipe fittings in the United States
United.

International Standard Metric Thread: this thread also

shown in Fig. 3, it is widely used in metric screws
manufactured in the European continent.
