Specifies taps for cutting ISO metric general purpose screw threads in both fine and coarse pitch series. It covers materials, properties, and basic design details for taps of diameter 1 to 64 mm; the diameter/pitch combinations are in agreement with AS 1721 and AS 1725. The ISO tolerance system for the threaded limits is adopted except that the tolerance increments have been additionally applied to the major diameter in order to ensure assembly of coated products. Tap blanks are the same as those given in ISO/R529 and ISO 2283.

This standard applies to taps for cutting ISO metric screw threads. It includes standard machine taps and hand taps with ground threads and also taps with cut threads, and covers diameters from 1 mm up to and including 64 mm in both coarse and fine pitch series. The diameter/pitch combinations are in agreement with AS 1275* and AS 1721. General dimensions, tolerances, and deviations for the threaded portion, types of taps, and other main features are specified, but the details of design are left to the manufacturer. If specific design features are required these need to be specified by the purchaser at the time of his enquiry or order. Taps for the tapping of nut threads are not specified in this standard owing to the many varieties in existence.Cut thread taps are specified for metric coarse pitch screw threads only, and one tolerance class is specified.The general dimensions of long shank machine taps, and tapping drill sizes for use with fluted taps are also included in appendices.NOTE: To ensure interchangeability of machine taps in related holders, the blank dimensions given in Supplement 1 for inch screwing taps are the same as those specified in this standard for metric threads.
