This British Standard specifies cadmium and zinc plating thicknesses, sampling and other inspection procedures, and methods of thickness determination for components having threads of basic major diameters from 0-060 in to 3/4 in, inclusive, specified in the following standards:
B.S. 84. Parallel screw threads of Whitworth form.
B.S. 93. British Association (B.A.) screw threads (sizes 0 B.A. to 16 B.A.)
B.S. 811. Cycle threads.
B.S. 1580. Unified screw threads.
B.S. 1095. Metric screw threads, systeme intermational.
B.S. 2779. Fastening threads of BSP sizes.
