Overview
ISO 3353-1:2020 - "Aerospace - Lead and runout threads - Part 1: Rolled external threads" defines the form, limits and inspection method for incompletely formed rolled external threads used in aerospace construction. The document specifies what constitutes lead threads, runout threads and completely formed threads, sets root-radius and profile requirements, and prescribes an optical inspection procedure to be used in case of dispute. It is applicable whenever a definition document references it.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and definitions
- Clear definitions of lead thread, runout thread and completely formed thread to standardize interpretation across manufacturers and inspectors.
- Geometric requirements
- Incomplete-thread flanks at the root shall be joined by a radius (or two radii and a flat) that is smooth and free of abrupt tool marks.
- The root radius of incompletely formed threads must be greater than or equal to the minimum root radius specified in the applicable definition document.
- Lead thread limits
- The lead-thread region must lie within the limits defined in the applicable thread definition document; profile-projection comparator charts (Figure 10) are provided for inspection.
- Runout thread configurations
- Runout requirements cover several shank types: normal shank, pitch-diameter shank, stepped shank, screws threaded to the head / bolts to a shoulder, and oversized bolts. Each configuration has corresponding inspection charts (Figures 11–14).
- Inspection method
- Manufacturers may use any method that demonstrates conformity, but optical projection is mandated in disputes.
- Charts are intended for use with a profile projection comparator having magnification ≥ ×20.
- Practical inspection steps include locating the first/last completely formed thread, then aligning the specified flank to the chart reference lines.
- Practical note (Annex A)
- Assembling the bolt with a GO screw ring gauge (without entering the chamfer) is the preferred, faster method for checking lead and runout threads; profile projection is more accurate but operator-dependent and slower.
Applications and users
- Intended for aerospace fastener manufacturers, designers of threaded components, quality/inspection engineers, maintenance and repair organizations, and procurement/specification writers.
- Used to ensure consistent rolled external thread starts and finishes on bolts and screws in aircraft and space hardware, to support interchangeability, fatigue performance and assembly reliability.
- Also referenced in definition documents and repair/overhaul procedures where threaded terminations are critical.
Related standards
- Part of the ISO 3353 series addressing incomplete threads for aerospace; users should consult the relevant thread definition documents and other parts of the ISO 3353 series as referenced.
- Prepared by ISO/TC 20 (Aircraft and space vehicles), SC 4 (Aerospace fastener systems).
Keywords: ISO 3353-1, lead threads, runout threads, rolled external threads, aerospace fasteners, thread inspection, profile projection comparator, GO screw ring gauge.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— update of the term “lead threads”;
— editorially revised.
