ISO general purpose metric screw threads - Tolerances - Part 5: Limits of sizes for internal screw threads to mate with hot-dip galvanized external screw threads with maximum size of tolerance position h before galvanizing

This part of ISO 965 specifies deviations and limits of sizes for pitch and crest diameters for ISO general purpose metric internal screw threads conforming to ISO 262 having basic profile according to ISO 68-1. Internal screw threads according to this part of ISO 965 are intended to mate with external screw threads with maximum size of tolerance position h before hot-dip galvanizing. The limits of sizes for the tolerance quality specified are derived from tolerances specified in ISO 965-1. The fundamental deviations for internal screw threads with a tolerance position AZ have been calculated according to the following formula: EIAZ = + (300 + 20P) Where EI is expressed in micrometers. P is expressed in millimeters. The fundamental deviations for internal screw threads with a tolerance position AX have been calculated according to the following formula: EIAX = + (220P - 20) Where EI is expressed in micrometers; P is expressed in millimeters. Products made with thread tolerances according to this part of ISO 965 may show load failure when tested in accordance with ISO 898-2 without adjustment of the other mechanical properties. Internal screw threads with thread tolerances according to this part of ISO 965 must not be mated with external screw threads having thread tolerances according to ISO 965-4 because such combinations will create severe risk of thread stripping. NOTE Internal screw threads with tolerance class 6AZ are primarily intended to mate with external screw threads centrifuged after hot-dip galvanizing. Internal screw threads with tolerance class 6AX are primarily intended to mate with hot-dip galvanized external screw threads with heavy coating not centrifuged.

Filetages métriques ISO pour usages généraux — Tolérances — Partie 5: Dimensions limites pour filetages intérieurs pour assemblages avec des filetages extérieurs galvanisés à chaud de position de tolérance maximale h avant galvanisation

La présente partie de l'ISO 965 spécifie les écarts et les dimensions limites des diamètres sur flancs et au sommet des filetages intérieurs métriques ISO d'usages généraux, conformément à l'ISO 262, de profil de base conforme à l'ISO 68-1. Les filetages intérieurs conformes à la présente partie de l'ISO 965 sont prévus pour s'assembler avec des filetages extérieurs de position de tolérance maximale h avant galvanisation à chaud. Les dimensions limites, spécifiées pour la classe de qualité adoptée, sont dérivées des tolérances spécifiées dans l'ISO 965-1. Les écarts fondamentaux des filetages intérieurs de position de tolérance AZ ont été calculés conformément à la formule suivante: EIAZ = + (300 + 20P) Où EI est exprimé en micromètres; P est exprimé en millimètres. Les écarts fondamentaux des filetages intérieurs de position de tolérance AX ont été calculés conformément à la formule suivante: EIAX = + (220P - 20) Où EI est exprimé en micromètres ; P est exprimé en millimètres. Les produits réalisés avec des tolérances de filetage conformes à la présente partie de l'ISO 965 peuvent présenter des défaillances à des charges d'épreuve lorsqu'ils sont soumis aux essais conformément à l'ISO 898-2 sans adaptation d'autres propriétés mécaniques. Il ne faut pas assembler des filetages intérieurs réalisés avec des tolérances de filetage conformes à la présente partie de l'ISO 965 avec des filetages extérieurs de tolérances de filetage conformes à l'ISO 965-4, car une telle combinaison crée des risques importants d'arrachement de filetage. NOTE Les filetages intérieurs de classe de tolérance 6AZ sont principalement prévus pour s'assembler avec des filetages extérieurs centrifugés après galvanisation à chaud. Les filetages intérieurs de classe de tolérance 6AX sont principalement prévus pour s'assembler avec des filetages extérieurs galvanisés à chaud non centrifugés et avec revêtement.

Overview

ISO 965-5:1998 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that defines the tolerances and limits of sizes for internal metric screw threads designed to mate with hot-dip galvanized external screw threads. Specifically, it addresses internal threads conforming to ISO 262 with the basic profile specified in ISO 68-1, which are matched with external screw threads having a maximum tolerance position h before galvanizing.

This part of the ISO 965 series provides detailed specifications for pitch diameter and crest diameter deviations for internal screw threads to ensure proper fit and mechanical performance after the galvanizing process, considering the dimensional changes caused by the protective zinc coating.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    ISO 965-5 defines deviations and limits of sizes for internal metric threads intended to mate with hot-dip galvanized external threads that have tolerance position h at their maximum size before galvanizing. This is vital as hot-dip galvanizing increases the external thread diameter due to zinc coating thickness.

  • Tolerance Classes
    The standard specifies two primary tolerance classes for internal threads:

    • 6AZ: For mating with centrifuged external threads after galvanizing, ensuring tight fit and reduced risk of interference.
    • 6AX: Intended for mating with heavily coated, non-centrifuged hot-dip galvanized external threads, accommodating thicker zinc layers.
  • Fundamental Deviations
    The fundamental deviations for internal threads are calculated using formulas based on pitch (P) in millimeters and expressed in micrometers (µm):

    • For AZ: EI_AZ = + (300 + 20P) µm
    • For AX: EI_AX = + (220P - 20) µm
      These calculations adjust dimensions to accommodate the galvanizing process effects on external threads.
  • Limits of Sizes
    The standard provides detailed tables of dimensional limits for major diameter, pitch diameter, and minor diameter of threads across various sizes (e.g., M10 to M64) for both 6AZ and 6AX classes. These limits are essential for manufacturers and quality control to ensure compatibility and functional performance.

  • Compatibility Warning
    ISO 965-5 strongly advises against mating internal threads adhering to its tolerances with external threads specified in ISO 965-4, due to the risk of thread stripping caused by incompatible tolerance classes.

  • Mechanical Properties
    Products manufactured according to this standard might exhibit load failure during testing as per ISO 898-2 unless other mechanical properties are adjusted accordingly.

Applications

  • Hot-Dip Galvanized Fastening Systems
    ISO 965-5 is primarily applied in industries where metric fasteners undergo hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion protection, including construction, automotive, machinery manufacturing, and infrastructure.

  • Quality Control and Inspection
    Manufacturing processes depend on the precise limits and tolerances defined by ISO 965-5 to ensure proper thread engagement, mechanical strength, and prevention of failure in fastened joints after galvanizing.

  • Thread Design and Engineering
    Engineers designing components involving galvanized screw threads use ISO 965-5 to specify internal threading dimensions that will reliably mate with coated external threads, optimizing for durability and fit.

  • Maintenance and Replacement Parts
    Standardized thread tolerances help maintenance teams select compatible replacement parts for galvanized assemblies, reducing risks of mismatches or mechanical failures.

Related Standards

  • ISO 68-1: Defines the basic profile for ISO general purpose screw threads, which ISO 965-5 threads conform to.
  • ISO 262: Lists selected sizes for metric screw threads, bolts, and nuts that serve as the basis for thread design in ISO 965-5.
  • ISO 965-1: Provides the general principles and basic data for screw thread tolerances upon which ISO 965-5’s tolerance qualities are derived.
  • ISO 965-4: Specifies limits for sizes of hot-dip galvanized external threads to mate with internal threads tapped with tolerance position H or G after galvanizing. ISO 965-5 explicitly cautions against combining internal threads per its guidelines with external threads specified in this part.
  • ISO 898-2: Describes mechanical properties and proof load values of nuts, relevant for testing products manufactured according to ISO 965-5.
  • ISO 5408: Standard vocabulary related to cylindrical screw threads, used to ensure consistent terminology.

Keywords: ISO 965-5, metric screw threads, internal screw threads, hot-dip galvanizing, thread tolerances, pitch diameter limits, screw thread deviations, thread design, galvanized fasteners, ISO metric threads, screw thread standards, tolerance classes 6AZ and 6AX, mechanical properties of fasteners.
