Define the effective diameter of a bolt
-> imaginary line through the middle of the tooth
Define pitch of a thread
-> distance from any point of a thread to the corresponding point on the next
Define major diameter
- > distance from root to root on nut
- > distance from crest to crest on bolt
Define Crest
-> top surface of thread
Define Root
-> Bottom of the groove
define the flank or side
-> surface that connects root to crest
Define thread angle
-> angle between the flanks
Define Angular Depth
-> the triangle formed by the intersection of the extended flanks
Define Actual Depth
-> distance between the crest and root measured
Define the fundamental Triangle
-> imaginary triangle created from the crest to root to crest
Define Lead
-> the distance the screw thread advances axially in one complete turn
