Note 1 The allowable minor diameter indicates sizes from minimum to 6H but the fine threads smaller than M1 8 215 0 2 are 4H and that of smaller than M2 215 0 25 are 5H Program to calculate the thread stripping strength shear strength of the thread in tapped holes minimum thread engagement Thread stripping strength Metric size Effective length of engagement L e 0 75d for standard nut mm Material shear strength of weakest part MPa pitch diameter d 0 d 2 d 3 2 mm tensile stress area A t π 4 d 0 2 mm 2 shear area A th Colled Rolled Steel 65 70 Aluminium 70 80 Thin Sheet Metals 80 95 Table 1 Suggested hole sizes for Aluminium or Zinc die casting The minimum length of thread engagement should be equal to twice the diameter of the The minimum full thread tapping depth H for through and blind holes is equal to the insert nominal length LN plus one thread pitch In this case H 500 050 0 550 The magnetic permeability of a standard free running insert usually falls between 2 0 and 10 0 G O The variation is due to the different lengths and wire sizes Usually locking type inserts have a Thread engagement is the amount of thread flank depth that is filled by the application material It is often expressed as a percentage A hole diameter equal to the major diameter of the threads would have a thread engagement of 0 In moderately stiff materials you should start with a hole size that provides 75 to 80 thread engagement A hole that creates a thread
