G1/4 Minor Diameter

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

I've created a threaded hole with a BSP 1/4, but the drawn diameter is bigger (11.668mm) than the Minor Diameter (11.455mm) should be.

Is there a reason for this?

The minimum Minor Diameter of a G1/4 (or 1/4 BSP if you're old-school like me) is Ø11.445mm, however there's a tolerance of +0.445/-0 on that. This gives a mean Minor Dia. of Ø11.668mm.

 

Hope this explains why there's this discrepancy.

If this answers your question please mark the thread as solved as it can help others find solutions in the future.

Thank you! I copied a threading operation from another file with a hole size of 11.445 so I'm glad I noticed it!
