The simplicity and longevity of screw thread standards mean that sometimes fifty years can pass between revisions. As industries globalize, however, it is important that manufacturers produce screws that are able to be used universally and across all sectors.

BS 93:2008 British Association (B.A.) screw threads. Requirements

BS 93 specifies limits of sizes, and tolerances, for single start parallel screw threads of British Association (B.A.) form.

Approximate inch equivalents are also given.
