M36 × 4 Thread Dimensions

M36 x 4 is a coarse ISO Metric thread. Pitch is 4 mm, equivalent to 6.35 threads per inch. The recommended tap drill is nominal diameter minus pitch.

How these values are derived

computed from the basic profile

These figures follow the ISO 68-1 basic profile of ISO 261. A 60° basic profile has a fundamental triangle height H = 0.866025 × P, with pitch diameter d₂ = d − 0.649519 × P, external minor diameter d₃ = d − 1.226869 × P and internal minor diameter D₁ = d − 1.082532 × P; the two minor diameters differ because the external root is rounded while the internal crest is truncated. The recommended tap drill is given as nominal diameter minus pitch, which approximates 75% thread engagement — adjust it for tough materials or deep holes.

Other pitches at the same 36 mm diameter — a fine pitch on a coarse diameter, or the reverse, is the usual substitution question.
