Metric Bolt Root Dia Calculation

Metric Bolt Size M = 20 mm

Bolt Pitch P = 2.5 mm

H = 0.86603 X P = 2.165075 mm
H/4 = 0.21651 X P = 0.541275 mm
H/8 = 0.10825 X P = 0.270625 mm
3/8 H = 0.32476 X P = 0.8119 mm
5/8 H = 0.54127 X P = 1.353175 mm
H/6 = 0.144337XP = 0.3608425 mm

R(min) = 0.125 x P = 0.3125 mm

R(Ideal) = 0.14434 x P = 0.36085 mm

Calculating Limits for External thread Pitch Diameter (d)

Fundamental deviation = 42 µm
size for Male Bolt es(g)
Diameter Tolerance g6 Td2 = 212 µm

Diameter Limit for Dia Max = 19.958 mm

Min = 19.746 mm

Calculating Limits for External thread Pitch Diameter (d2)

Basic Pitch Diameter = 18.3762 mm

Fundamental deviation = 42 µm
size for Male Bolt es(g)
Diameter Tolerance g6 = 170 µm

Diameter Limit for Dia Max = 18.3342 mm

Min = 18.1642 mm

Calculating Limits for External thread Pitch Diameter (d3)

Basic Pitch Diameter d1 = 17.29365 mm

Fundamental deviation = 42 µm
size for Male Bolt es(g)
Diameter Tolerance g6 = 170 µm
z = H/4 + Td2 /2 - P/8= = 0.313775
d 3min = d1 - es -2z = 16.6241

The tables in the standards do not include a table value for d 3max
The table on this website ( Screw Threads ) uses a value d 3max = d1 - es. = 17,252... This is the diameter of the Go-G
A value more in line with the recommendations in the standards can be found using the equations found on this pag
.. This is the diameter of the Go-Gauge Profile.
