Type of Threads

Thread standards are by their very nature complex documents and unless you are working in a standards room or are a manufacturer of tooling etc. contain large amounts of data irrelevant to maintenance engineers. While ordering fasteners, type of thread and thread tolerances standards must be mentioned in fastener specification. Tolerances are mainly for quality, mass production & interchangeability.
