The "M" designation for metric screws indicates the nominal outer diameter of the screw thread, in millimetres. This is also referred to as the "major" diameter in the information below. It indicates the diameter of smooth-walled hole that a male thread (e.g. on a bolt) will pass through easily to connect to an internally threaded component (e.g. a nut) on the other side. That is, an M6 screw has a nominal outer diameter of 6 millimetres and will therefore be a well-located, co-axial fit in a hole drilled to 6mm diameter. Thanks to plate hole countersinks on the both L-plate sides, plates can be either used on the left and the right side of the patient Inventory is considerably reduced The coarse pitch is the commonly used default pitch for a given diameter. In addition, one or two smaller fine pitches are defined, for use in applications where the height of the normal coarse pitch would be unsuitable (e.g. threads in thin-walled pipes). The terms coarse and fine have (in this context) no relation to the manufacturing quality of the thread. All plates are provided with a tab for secure grip, easy placement and full traceability thanks to marked lot numbers on the plates’ surfaces

ISO 262:1998 ISO general purpose metric screw threads – Selected sizes for screws, bolts and nuts. International Organization for Standardization. 17 December 1998. Japan has a JIS metric screw thread standard that largely follows the ISO, but with some differences in pitch and head sizes. New and improved bending and cutting instruments with uniform, ergonomic handle design, and spring-loaded closure. The thread values are derived from rounded Renard series. They are defined in ISO 3, with "1st choice" sizes being from the Rˈˈ10 series and "2nd choice" and "3rd choice" sizes being the remaining values from the Rˈˈ20 series.

The length of a machine screw or bolt is indicated by an × and the length expressed in millimetres (e.g. M8-1.25×30 or M8×30). [ citation needed] In an external (male) thread (e.g. on a bolt), the major diameter D maj and the minor diameter D min define maximum dimensions of the thread. This means that the external thread must end flat at D maj, but can be rounded out below the minor diameter D min. Conversely, in an internal (female) thread (e.g. in a nut), the major and minor diameters are minimum dimensions; therefore the thread profile must end flat at D min but may be rounded out beyond D maj. In practice this means that one can measure the diameter over the threads of a bolt to find the nominal diameter D maj, and the inner diameter of a nut is D min.Tables of the derived dimensions for screw diameters and pitches defined in ISO 261 are given in ISO 724.

The design principles of ISO general-purpose metric screw threads ("M" series threads) are defined in international standard ISO 68-1. [2] Each thread is characterized by its major diameter, D ( D maj in the diagram), and its pitch, P. ISO metric threads consist of a symmetric V-shaped thread. In the plane of the thread axis, the flanks of the V have an angle of 60° to each other. The thread depth is 0.54125 × pitch. The outermost 1⁄ 8 and the innermost 1⁄ 4 of the height H of the V-shape are cut off from the profile.a b ISO 261:1998 ISO general purpose metric screw threads – General plan. International Organization for Standardization. 17 December 1998. In addition to coarse and fine threads, there is another division of extra fine, or superfine threads, with a very fine pitch thread. Superfine pitch metric threads are occasionally used in automotive components, such as suspension struts, and are commonly used in the aviation manufacturing industry. This is because extra fine threads are more resistant to coming loose from vibrations. [8] Fine and superfine threads also have a greater minor diameter than coarse threads, which means the bolt or stud has a greater cross-sectional area (and therefore greater load-carrying capability) for the same nominal diameter. A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by a dash or sometimes the multiplication sign, × (e.g. M8-1.25 or M8×1.25). If the pitch is the normally used "coarse" pitch listed in ISO 261 or ISO 262, it can be omitted (e.g. M8).

Hexagonal (generally abbreviated to "hex") head widths (width across flats, spanner size) are for DIN 934 hex nuts and hex head bolts. Other (usually smaller) sizes may occur to reduce weight or cost, including the small series flange bolts defined in ISO 4162 which typically have hexagonal head sizes corresponding to the smaller 1st choice thread size (eg. M6 small series flange bolts have 8mm hexagonal heads, as would normally be found on M5 bolts).
