How M42×4.5 Dimensions Are Calculated
All dimensions on this page are calculated from ISO 724 formulas using the nominal diameter (42 mm) and pitch (4.5 mm):
- Fundamental triangle height: H = (√3/2) × P = 3.8971 mm
- Pitch diameter: d₂ = d − 0.6495 × P = 39.0772 mm
- Minor diameter (external): d₁ = d − 1.2269 × P = 36.4789 mm
- Minor diameter (internal): D₁ = d − 1.0825 × P = 37.1287 mm
- Thread depth: 5H/8 = 2.4357 mm
- Tensile stress area: Aₛ = (π/4) × ((d₂ + d₃)/2)² = 1101.72 mm²
