ASME B18.2.2 vs DIN 934
ASME B18.2.2 and DIN 934 have no size designation in common: ASME B18.2.2 covers 1/4-20 to 1-8 and DIN 934 covers M2 – M24, and no size appears in both tables, so there is nothing to compare dimension by dimension. Substituting one for the other starts from matching nominal diameters, which the equivalence claim does not do for you.

Rows shaded amber differ between the two standards. Substitution should be checked against the affected sizes rather than assumed from the equivalence alone.
