How these values are derived

Basic ISO thread geometry uses the fundamental triangle height H = 0.866025 × P. External minor diameter d₃ = d − 1.226869 × P, internal minor diameter D₁ = d − 1.082532 × P. Tap drill is given as nominal diameter minus pitch, which approximates a 75% thread engagement — adjust for tough materials or deep holes.
