General purpose ISO metric screw threads {

Part 1: Nominal sizes for 1 mm to 68 mm diameter coarse
pitch threads 13-1
ICS 21.040.10 Supersedes
December 1986 edition.
Metrisches ISO-Gewinde allgemeiner Anwendung – Teil 1: Nennmaße
für Regelgewinde – Gewinde-Nenndurchmesser von 1 mm bis 68 mm

In keeping with current practice in standards published by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), a comma has been used throughout as the decimal marker.

Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee Gewinde of the Normenausschuß Technische
Grundlagen (Fundamentals in Technology Standards Committee).
The adoption of a number of ISO Standards (e.g. ISO 724, ISO 965 series) as national standards led the
responsible committee to revise the DIN 13 series of standards. The nominal sizes are now based both on
the basic dimensions specified in DIN ISO 724 and on the nominal profiles specified in DIN 13-19. The
nominal sizes of the external thread minor diameters specified here have been calculated taking the root
radius as being equal to H/6.
The thread designation is to be found in DIN ISO 965-1. See the table in the Explanatory notes for an overview
of DIN and DIN ISO Standards for screw threads.

Amendments
This standard differs from the December 1986 edition in that the nominal sizes are now to be calculated on
the basis of DIN 13-19 and size 7 mm threads have been assigned to series 2 (cf. table 1).

Previous editions
DIN 13-34: 1960-11, 1962-10, 1964-06; DIN 13-44: 1966-03; DIN 13-1: 1949x-02, 1969-11, 1973-03,
1986-12.

All dimensions are in mm.

1 Scope
This standard applies to general purpose ISO metric screw threads. It specifies the nominal sizes for 1 mm
to 68 mm diameter coarse pitch threads having the basic profile specified in DIN ISO 68-1 and the nominal
profile specified in DIN 13-19.

2 Normative references
This standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the titles of the publications are
listed below. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications
apply to this standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

Explanatory notes
Specifications in International Standards on ISO metric screw threads are no longer incorporated into the
standards of the DIN 13 series. Instead, the ISO Standards themselves are adopted as national standards (i.e.
DIN ISO Standards), while specifications of solely national relevance will continue to be published in the DIN 13
series.
The table below gives an overview of the standards of the DIN 13 series which continue to be valid and the
DIN ISO Standards which supersede standards in this series (now withdrawn).
