M48 Metric Thread

Below are the key dimensions for M48 metric threads: pitch, tap drill and clearance drill according to ISO 724:2023.
Discover our M48 Metric Thread Page, your ultimate tool for quick measurements on M48 metric threads. We've organised a vast collection of data for all typical metric threads you'll utilise in your components, focusing on key metrics like thread pitch, tap drill, and clearance drill. This page is a comprehensive resource for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists seeking accurate and reliable information.
All dimensions stated in are mm (millimetre)
The Major Diameter is the largest diameter on the thread and is measured from the thread crest to crest (peak of the thread).
This is the distance (mm) from one thread to the next, this can be measured from tip to tip or groove to groove. Pitch can also be defined as TPI, which stands for threads per inch.
Minor Diameter is the smallest diameter on the thread and is measured from the thread root to root (Bottom of the thread).
The angle between the thread faces. 60 degrees in the example above.
The thread will assemble when rotated clockwise. "righty tighty lefty loosely"
The thread will assemble when rotated counter-clockwise.
The pitch for an M48 thread is 5 mm.
The tap drill for an M48 thread is 43 mm.
The clearance drill for an M48 thread is 52 mm.
