FOREWORD
The standardization of threads for miniature fastening screws and similar purposes has been
under study since 1927, when the National Screw Thread commission prepared a compilation
of the practices of American manufacturers and various foreign standards. The latter included
the Swiss standard NHS 56100, which first appeared in 1923. However, for want of sufficient
interest, no further action was taken in the United States until 1943, when the demands of modem
warfare awakened both the need for domestic standardization and the desirability of international
standardization, particularly among the inch-using countries. For the consideration of this dual
problem, together with other thread matters confined principally to the instrument indus-, the
American Standards Association established, in 1944, ASA War Committee B1.7 on Instrument
Screw Threads.
The first significant progress toward standardization and unification of miniature threads
was achieved at the American-British-Canadian Conference on the Unification of Engineering
Standards held in Ottawa in 1945, when the delegations of these three countries joined in recom-
mending the adoption of the NHS thread series in the size range of 0.30 mmto 0.90 mm having
a 50 deg thread angle, and the development of a series closely following the NHC series for sizes
larger than 0.90 mm with a 60 deg thread angle.
In J une 1946, the War Committee was converted to Subcommittee No. 4 on Instrument Screw
Threads of ACME Sectional Committee 81. Shortly thereafter it was learned that Swiss manufactur-
ers were not adhering entirely to NHS 56100, but that the 60 deg thread angle made essentially
in accordance with the Unified Thread Form was being widely used for the sizes below 1 mm.
From this information and the results of subsequent experimental work by watch and instrument
manufacturers both here and abroad, there developed a consensus favoring the 60 deg thread
angle for all sizes.
At a meeting in J une 1952 of Technical Committee No. 1, Screw Threads, of the International
Organization for Standardization, a diameter-pitch series covering the range from 0.25 mm to
1.40 mm was adopted for recommendation to all national standardizing bodies. The Committee
also agreed that further studies should be made regarding the use of the IS0 Basic Profile (or
Unified Thread Form) in this range.
In the United States, where subsequent studies revealed no need, either current or anticipated,
for sizes below 0.30 mm, it was established that the 60 deg angle for ail sizes was feasible. It was
also determined that the minor diameter of internal threads must be, and invariably is, kept
above the minimum value established by the Unified Thread Form to avoid excessive tapping
difficulties. From this conclusion and the calculation problems presented by the need for dimen-
sioning this Standard in both metric and inch uni ts, a simple plan evolved based on the coefficient
of 0.52 in place of 0.54127 for basic thread height. These findings resulted in the formulation of
the following recommendations by Subcommittee No. 4 for the American standard:
( u) that the series consist of all sizes from 0.30 mm to 1.400 mmin the IS0 recommendation
(b) that the 60 deg thread angle be adopted over the entire range
( c) that the design thread forms be based on the simplified value of 0.52E instead of 0.54127P,
for the basic thread height
The American views were presented at both the American-British-Canadian Conference in
April 1955 and the plenary session of IS0 in J une 1955. The latter session developed Draft I S0
recommendation No. 4 covering a metric series from 0.25 mm to 5.00 mm, with the I S0 Basic
Thread Profile, having a 60 deg angle and a thread height of 0.54127P, applied over the entire
range.
American sentiment was strongly in favor of the simplified coefficients for the thread sizes
1.400 mm and below, and the previous issue of this Standard was formulated to incorporate the
original American recommendation on thread height. Despite this deviation, complete inter-
changeability with product made to I C 0 recommendation No. 84 was regarded as a certainty in
view of common practice on internai threads.

Tolerances given in this Standard were entirely of national origin, as recommendations on this
phase had not yet been formulated by other bodies.
A preliminary draft of this Standard, approved by Subcommittee No. 4 on J une 12,1956, was
distributed to industry for comment and criticism in October 1956. This draft was then revised
and submitted to the Sectional Committee B1 for letter ballot in April 1957. In response to
comments received with the letter ballot, the draft was further modified at a meeting of Subcom-
mittee No. 4 on March 6,1958. Following the acceptance of these modifications by the Sectional
Committee, the proposal was submitted to and approved by the sponsor organizations and ASA,
and was formally designated as an American Standard on August 18, 1958.
This Standard remained virtually unchanged from 1958 to 1995, while the use of miniature
threads diminished considerably due to electronic components, replacing many of the mechanical
devices used in watches and instrumentation. There still remains, however, an active use of
miniature screw threads in spacecrafts and aircrafts, as components are miniaturized for weight
considerations. Attempts were made to revise the Standard between 1979 and 1983, but unresolved
negative votes defeated the proposed revisions. Efforts to revise the Standard were undertaken
again in 1989.
The current Standard now has a thread height of 0.554H (0.48P), which is in agreement with
FED-STD-H28/5 and ISO/R1501, and which allows for interchangeability with threads produced
to the previous standard ASA B1.lO-1958. The dimensions and symbology are in line with current
screw thread practices. This revision of Unified Miniature Screw Threads lists all dimensions in
metric uni ts. Inch conversions of these values have been placed in the Appendix Section of this
Standard.
ACME Bl.lOM-1997 was approved by the American National Standards Institute on J uly 11,
1997.
ACME Bl.lOM-1997 was revised again in 2003 to correct printing errors and update symbology
to be in line with current screw thread practice. Many of the values that are expressed with P
have been expanded to seven decimal places. This has been done to improve calculation accuracy
in accordance with ACME B1.30. In addition thread values that were derived from a function of
H have been changed to a function of P.
ACME B1.10M-2004 was approved by the American National Standards Institute on
J anuary 14,2004.

UNIFIED MINIATURE SCREW THREADS
1 GENERAL ISO/R15012, IS0 Miniature Screw Threads
1.1 Scope
This Standard specifies the thread form, series, toler-
ance, and designation for the Unified Miniature Screw
Threads. The series covers a diameter range of 0.30 nun
thread series that begin at 1.6 nun.

1.2 Unified Miniature Screw Thread Standards
The fourteen sizes published in this Standard were
endorsed by the American-British-Canadian conference
of April 1955 as the basis of the unified standard among
inch-using countries, and to correspond with the range
of sizes in the ISO. The sizes are shown in Table 1. In
interest of standardization and where design permits,
selection of size should be confined to those indicated
in bold type in Table1. For more restrictive conditions,
those sizes indicated in regular type in Table 1 may
be used.
1.3 Designation
Unified Miniature Thread sizes of this series shall be
designated on engineering drawings, in specifications,
and on tools and gages (space permitting) by their nomi-
nal diameter in hundredths of a millimeter followed by
the symbol "UNM" (e.g., 0.80 UNM).
On internal threads, the full limits of minor diameter,
as given in Table 2, shall normally be considered applica-
ble. Where this is not permissible, the designation shall
be supplemented by the minor diameter limits.

this Standard.

includedas further experience with this thread standard
is reported. Until such time, agreements must be reached
between purchaser and vendor regarding the basis for
determining acceptance, since practices are likely to dif-
fer considerably, particularly for external threads. Where
a free choice is possible, the procedures given below,
which are being used with considerable success by some
producers, are suggested.
1.5.1 External Threads. The major diameter of the
external thread ismeasured by either contact gaging,
optical projection, or laser inspection equipment. All
other dimensions, such as pitch diameter, lead, thread
form, and minor diameter may be inspected by optical
projection methods, with a magnification of 1OOX recom-
mended. A suggested chart for this method is shown
in Appendix A. The thread plug gages and the tap are
inspected in a similar manner to externally threaded
parts. Contact gaging, such as the use of "GO" and
"NOT G O ring gages, measuring wires, and set plug
gages may be used for sizes 0.70 UNM and above.
1.5.2 Internai Threads. The minor diameter of the
internal thread is gaged with "GO" and "NOT GO'
plain cylindrical plug gages. All other elements are
checked only for assemble-ability limits by means of a
"GO" thread plug gage, taking extreme care not to dam-
age the thread. For the minimum material limits of the
internal threads, the accuracy and performance of the
tap is relied upon. Thi s implies that the major and pitch
diameters of the tap do not exceed the maximum inter-
nal thread limits for these elements, and disregards over
cutting, which is rarely incurred because of the flexibility
of these smali taps and the manner in which they are
generally fluted.
It is recommended that the minor diameter of the
internal thread begaged with one insertion of the "NOT
GO" plain cylindrical plug gage first. The "NOT G O

sible.
plain cylindrical plug gage shall be inserted only until
it meets some resistance. The minor diameter is then
gaged with only one insertion of the plain cylindrical
plug gage per thread, as the act of gaging can wear the
thread oversize. At this point, the minor diameter is
considered to be acceptable. The thread is gaged with
only one insertion of the " GO thread plug gage. The
thread is accepted or rejected on the basis of this one
insertion. Repeat insertions can wear out/damage the
thread.
1.5.3 Reference Temperature. The reference tempera-
ture is 20C for the dimensions defined by this system.
1.5.4 Units of Measure. All dimensions in this Stan-
dard, including all tables, are in millimeters unless other-
wise specified. Inch conversions may be found in
Nonmandatory Appendices B, C, and D.
1.5.5 Federal Government Use. When t hi s Standard
is approved by the Department of Defense (DOD) and
federal agencies, and is incorporated into FED-STD-
H28 /5, Screw-Thread Standards for Federal Services,
Section 5, the use of this Standard by federal government
will be subject to ali requirements and Limitations of
FED-STD-H28 /5.
2 SCREW THREAD PROFILE
2.1 Scope
The basic profile and design profiles defined in this
Section are the basis of all thread dimensions given in
this Standard.
2.2 Basic Profile
The basic profile for the UNM saew threads is shown
in Fig. 1 (profile applies to the axial plane), and except
for one element is the Unified Basic Thread Form. The
exception is the height of thread engagement for which
the basic value is 0.4800P. The basic thread height of
0.4800P (0.554H) will not affect interchangeability with
products made to the 1958 revision of this Standard
showing 0.5200P. As the resulting difference is negligible
and completely ofset by practical considerations in tap-
ping, full internal thread heights are avoided in these
small sizes to escape excessive tap breakage.
For reference, the basic profile for UNM screw threads
is identical to that for IC0 metric threads in ICO/R1501.
2.3 Design Profiles
The design profiles define the maximum material con-
ditions for the external and internal unified miniature

GENERAL NOTE: For standardization, t he tabul ated listing of thread values has been established based on a function of
pitch, P. The thread values based on a functional height, H, are used as reference only.
Fig. 1 Basic Profile for t he UNM Screw Threads
thread as shown in Fig. 2. These forms are derived from
the basic profile shown in Fig. 1 by the application of
clearances for the crests of the addendum at the roots
of the mating dedendum forms, and thereby satisfy the
practical consideration that the contact between the mat-
ing pair be limited to functional surfaces of the fasteners.
Practically speaking, product made to the
requirements of this Standard will be interchangeable
with product made to any other standards allowing a
maximum depth of engagement (or combined adden-
dum height) of 0.4800P. Internal thread heights
exceeding 0.4800P should be avoided in the smali thread
sizes in order to avoid excessive tap breakage.
2.3.1
2.3.2 Formulas for the various dimensions are given
in both Fig. 2 and Table 3. Values of the various dimen-
sions for all pitches are given in Table 4.
2.4 Lead
All threads are of the single (single start) type.
2.5 Nominal Size
The thread sizes comprising this series and their
respective pitches are shown in the third and second
columns, respectively, of Table 1. Formulas for the
dimensions are listed in Table 5. Corresponding values
for all sizes are given in Table 1.
2.6 Classifications
This Standard establishes only one class of thread,
with zero allowance on all diameters, in view of the
manufacturing difficulties which any differentiations in
tolerance would impose and because there is no demon-
strated need for additional classes.
2.7 Tolerance
2.7.1 All tolerance governing limits of size are based
on functions of the pitch only and apply to lengths of
engagement from v3 to times the nominal diameter.
Lengths of engagement and nominal diameter are not
incorporated in any of the tolerance formulas in view
of the following.
(a) In the smali thread sizes covered by this Standard,
lengths of engagement significantly below or above the
range covered by the formulas are not frequently
employed.
(b) Functional fitness in these small sizes is dependent
principally upon the properties of the thread rather than
the size of the threaded member.
(c) Total tolerance is too small to permit the imposi-
tion of minor modifications.
2.7.2 On external threads, tolerance is applied to the
design sizes in the minus direction. On internal threads,

GAGES AND GAGING FOR UNIFIED MINIATURE
SCREW THREADS
The establishment of specifications for gages for Uni-
fied Miniature Screw Threads is not within the scope
of this document. However, in the absence of a gage
standard, the development of which is awaiting the
accumulation of more experience with this thread stan-
dard, there is presented below, in Fig. Al , an illustration
of a chart which has been found very satisfactory for
the optical projection method of inspection of external
threads. Inspection at a magnification of 1OOX is recom-
mended and at this scale the charts should be accurate
to within kO.01 in. on all diameters and on pitches cumu-
latively up to five pitches.
