Draw a line slightly longer than the major diameter to the right of the 2D profile (figure 1D).

Full-bodied studs have a shank equal to the major diameter of the thread.

Necking: A portion of the part is reduced in diameter to less than the major diameter.

Major diameter minus minor diameter, divided by two, equals the height of the thread.

Create a cylinder that represents the bold shaft so that its diameter equals the major diameter (figure 1B).

Undercut studs (rolled thread) are also stronger because the metal is "rolled" up to the major diameter, not removed.

The major diameter of a nut may not be directly measured, but it may be tested with go/no-go gauges.

A toroid with a major diameter that is much larger than the secondary diameter provides improved shaping of the electrical field at the topload.

When considering the blank diameter tolerance, a change in blank diameter will affect the major diameter by an approximate ratio of 3 to 1.

The line segment connecting the vertices is called the transverse axis or major axis, corresponding to the major diameter of an ellipse.

This provides sufficient elasticity to permit stretching over the major diameter of a piston and then snapping back into the gland groove cut into the piston.

The major spring dimensions were chosen to make the natural frequency of the unclamped spring high, a major diameter of 16 mm and consisting of only three turns.

In an external (male) thread (e.g., on a bolt), the major diameter D and the minor diameter D define maximum dimensions of the thread.

The common V-thread standards (ISO 261 and Unified Thread Standard) include a coarse pitch and a fine pitch for each major diameter.

The major diameter of external threads is normally smaller than the major diameter of the internal threads, if the threads are designed to fit together.

A toroid's capacitance is mainly a function of its major diameter, while the spark breakout voltage is mainly a function of its minor diameter.

Each thread in the series is characterized by its major diameter D and its pitch, P. UTS threads consist of a symmetric V-shaped thread.

THREAD HEIGHT This is the distance between the minor and major diameters of the thread measured radially.

Many deep sky objects such as galaxies and nebulas appear as non-circular, and are thus typically given two measures of diameter: Major Diameter and Minor Diameter.

There are three characteristic diameters of threads: major diameter, minor diameter, and pitch diameter: industry standards specify minimum (min) and maximum (max) limits for each of these, for all recognized thread sizes.
