What is international metric thread?

International Metric Thread (IMT) is a standardized system for screw threads that uses the metric measurement system. Defined by ISO 68-1, it features a triangular profile with a 60-degree angle and is characterized by its pitch, which is the distance between adjacent threads, measured in millimeters. IMT is widely used in various applications, including machinery and engineering, due to its uniformity and compatibility across different countries and industries. This standardization helps ensure interoperability and simplifies manufacturing processes.
