    METRIC THREADS
    The best way to explain and understand metric threads is by comparison to inch threads.
    The first and one of the most important things to remember about metric threads, is
    that, like inch threads, knowing the tap size is not enough information to
    manufacture a gage. A proper and complete nomenclature for the gage or the product is
    necessary.

    The most common metric product screw and set plug gages for external threads,
    thread is the class 6g external product, and because this comprises 80%+ of the metric
    the class 6H internal product, which creates thread gage market.

    The letter used denotes the amount of applied to the external thread. For metric,
    allowance adjustment applied to the basic you can apply allowances to the internal
    size. For external threads, allowances also. In both the internal and external the 'h
    available are 'e, f, g, & h'. For internal or H' signifies an allowance factor of zero.
    threads, allowances available are 'G & H'. The 'G' is the only allowance for internal
    threads and the 'g' is the smallest
    Here again we see a difference in the inch allowance available for external, the 'f'
    and metric systems. In the Unified, there is being more, and the 'e' being the greatest
    only one allowance available and it is only allowance.

    Metric DESIGNATION
    The nomenclature of metric Metric series
    threads begins with the letter M. Nominal size
    This is the designation showing Thread pitch

    designation that denotes internal or
    The nominal size is the first number that external also signifies allowance. When the
    follows the metric series designation, class of fit is specified with two different

    is pronounced as ‘by’. In the inch series the diameters, and the second one, 6g, is the
