What is the TPI for a 1 inch BSW thread form?

British Standard Whitworth fastener thread BS84 1956

How are Whitworth threads measured?

The form of a Whitworth thread is based on a fundamental triangle with an angle of 55° at each peak and valley. The sides are at a flank angle of Θ = 27.5° perpendicular to the axis. Thus, if the thread pitch is p, the height of the fundamental triangle is H = p/(2tanΘ) = 0.96049106p.

What is the TPI of 1/4 20 thread?

What is Whitworth measurement?

A Whitworth wrench is sized according to the diameter of the shank of the bolt, not the head. A 1/4 W (Whitworth) wrench is actually a bit larger than a 1/2″ American wrench—0.525″ to 0.500″. As if that wasn’t enough, in 1924 it was decided that the heads of the Whitworth bolts were too large, so they were down-sized.

What does TPI stand for in Whitworth thread?

It uses a thread angle of 60° compared to the Whitworth 55° and very fine thread pitches. TPI stands for Threads Per Inch, Means the total number of threads per inch measured along the length of a fastener. TPI is used only with American fasteners. Metric Fasteners use a thread Pitch.

What are the dimensions of the Whitworth thread?

Whitworth’s new standard specified a 55° thread angle and a thread depth of 0.640327p and a radius of 0.137329p, where p is the pitch. The thread pitch increases with diameter in steps specified on a chart.

How big is a 1 / 4W Whitworth tool?

You can use the size tableon this page to find the size of the Whitworth tool you need. Whitworth tools can be difficult to identify. For example a 1/4W wrench is the same size as a 5/16BS (British Standard) wrench, and it is .525 inches across the flats, or 13.34mm.

Which is better British Standard or British Standard Whitworth?

The British Standard Fine (BSF) standard has the same thread angle as the BSW, but has a finer thread pitch and smaller thread depth. This is more like the modern “mechanical” screw and was used for fine machinery and for steel bolts.
