notes:

a) Using coarse thread as standard

b) To give 60/70% thread engagement
c) To suit a 1.5D Helicoil
d) To allow 1.5D minimum thread engagement
e) To allow 1D minimum thread engagement
f) To allow for +/- 3mm casting variation plus repair by Helicoil
g) To allow for +/- 3mm casting variation plus repair by 'Tappex' type insert
h) From Shigley 'Mechanical Engineering Design' 1986 p293
i) Based on tightening to 70% of proof strength
j) Based a friction factor of 0.2
