• The crest is flat and the thread has clearance at the root allowing external thread and internal thread to engage well.
• A larger root radius and lower thread height enable easy screw thread processing and increase thread screw strength.
• The major diameter of external thread and pitch are specified by a simple numerical value (most commonly measured in millimetres).
