Formula
Pitch Dia = D - 0.6495P | Minor Dia = D - 1.2269P | Tap Drill = D - P
For ISO metric threads with 60-degree profile: Pitch diameter = Major diameter - 0.6495 x Pitch. Minor diameter = Major diameter - 1.2269 x Pitch. Tap drill size for 75% thread = Major diameter - Pitch. Thread height H = 0.866025 x Pitch. These formulas derive from the standard 60-degree thread triangle geometry.
