About ISO Metric Screw Thread

The 60 degree V profile thread, designated M6 or M8 with pitch, was one of the first international standards agreed after ISO was founded in 1947. Defined in ISO 68-1 with sizes in ISO 261 and ISO 262, it replaced dozens of national systems and now holds together machines on every continent.
