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 modern
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 industry, 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 mm to 0.90 mm having
a 50 deg thread angle, and the development of a series closely following the NHS series for sizes
larger than 0.90 mm with a 60 deg thread angle.
In June 1946, the War Committee was converted to Subcommittee No. 4 on Instrument Screw
Threads of ASME Sectional Committee B1. 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 June 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 ISO 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 all 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 units, 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:
(a) that the series consist of all sizes from 0.30 mm to 1.400 mm in the ISO 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 0.52P, 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 ISO in June 1955. The latter session developed Draft ISO
recommendation No. 84 covering a metric series from 0.25 mm to 5.00 mm, with the ISO 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 ISO recommendation No. 84 was regarded as a certainty in
view of common practice on internal threads.
iv
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 June 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 B1.10-1958. The dimensions and symbology are in line with current
screw thread practices. This revision of Unified Miniature Screw Threads lists all dimensions in
metric units. Inch conversions of these values have been placed in the Appendix Section of this
Standard.
ASME B1.10M-1997 was approved by the American National Standards Institute on July 11,
1997.
ASME B1.10M-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 ASME B1.30. In addition thread values that were derived from a function of
H have been changed to a function of P.
ASME B1.10M-2004 was approved by the American National Standards Institute on
January 14, 2004.
