ISO general purpose metric screw threads - Tolerances - Part 4: Limits of sizes for hot-dip galvanized external threads to mate with internal threads made to tolerance position H or G after galvanizing
This document specifies the fundamental deviations and limits of sizes for the pitch and major diameters of the hot-dip galvanized metric external threads (M) conforming to ISO 262 (M6 to M68 with the coarse pitches and M72 to M100 with pitch 6) having basic and design profiles in accordance with ISO 68-1. This document is applicable to the hot-dip galvanized metric external threads undersized to tolerance class 6az before galvanizing to mate with the internal threads made to tolerance position H or G after galvanizing.

Overview
ISO 965-4:2025 defines the limits of sizes and fundamental deviations for hot‑dip galvanized metric external threads intended to mate with internal threads made to tolerance position H or G after galvanizing. It applies to external metric threads (M) conforming to ISO 262 with basic/design profiles per ISO 68-1 - specifically M6 to M68 (coarse pitches) and M72 to M100 (pitch 6). The standard covers threads that are undersized to tolerance class 6az before galvanizing so that, after zinc coating, they correctly fit internal threads at H or G positions.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: External threads undersized to 6az before galvanizing to mate with internal threads in tolerance positions H or G after galvanizing.
- Fundamental deviations: The fundamental deviation for tolerance position az is specified (see Table 1). The deviation is calculated using the formula given in the standard:
es = −(300 + 20·P) (values in micrometres; not applicable for pitch P < 1 mm). - Limits of sizes: Table 2 lists maximum and minimum major and pitch diameters for the 6az class across the covered nominal diameters and pitches; these limits are derived from the fundamental deviation and the tolerances in ISO 965-1.
- Tolerance quality and class: Specified as medium quality, normal length of engagement, tolerance class 6az (applied prior to galvanizing).
- Design and profile: Root contours and truncations follow ISO 965-1; basic and design profiles per ISO 68-1.
- Restrictions: External 6az threads must not be mated with internal threads oversized to 6AZ or 6AX (see Clause 4) due to high risk of thread stripping.
- Designation examples: M12 – 6az; M90 × 6 – 6az.
Applications and users
ISO 965-4:2025 is intended for professionals who specify, manufacture, inspect or procure hot‑dip galvanized threaded fasteners and components, including:
- Mechanical and structural designers engineering bolted joints where galvanizing is required
- Fastener manufacturers and thread rolling/tapping tool designers
- Galvanizing service providers coordinating pre‑galvanizing thread allowances
- Quality assurance and inspection teams verifying post‑coating thread fit
- Procurement and standards engineers specifying compliant thread classes
Typical use cases include structural steelwork, infrastructure, utility mounting hardware and other assemblies where hot‑dip galvanizing is applied and reliable thread engagement after coating is critical.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
