Orange row: the printed external pitch diameter minimum of 1.20 UNM (0.0397) differs from the soft conversion of Table 2 (1.010 / 25.4 = 0.0398). Table C1 note (2): 0.70 UNM internal pitch dia max 0.0239 is a soft conversion and does not equal Min + Tol (0.0231 + 0.0009).

Notes
- Table 2 note (1): the minor dia min of an external thread is used in the design of tools; diameter acceptance is generally based on maximum material gaging. The external minor dia tolerance is not printed in Table 2; the value shown is Table 6 (0.1600P + 0.008). Table 1 heads the d3 column "1.145185P"; the printed values follow 1.1451815P (Tables 3 and 5). Single class with zero allowance on all diameters (para. 2.6); single start (para. 2.4); parallel thread; reference temperature 20 deg C (para. 1.5.3).
Mates
0.70 UNM External screws into a thread of the same standard at the same size and pitch. The standard mating internal thread is class UNM. Check the fit with the standard pair →
Working out the mating options…
Different pitch or a different thread family never mate; the fit check runs over both tolerance zones.
