*Internal Thread Minor Diameter Tolerances. Internal thread minor diameter tolerances are based on a length of engagement equal to the nominal diameter. For general applications these tolerances are suitable for lengths of engagement up to 11/2 diameters. However, some thread applications have lengths of engagement which are greater than 11/2 diameters or less than the nominal diameter. For such applications it may be advantageous to increase or decrease the tolerance, respectively, as explained in the following section.
