Short description: Angle between flanks of a screw thread
Diagram of a thread angle

In mechanical engineering, the thread angle of a screw is the included angle between the thread flanks, measured in a plane containing the thread axis.[1] This is a defining factor for the shape of a screw thread. Standard values include:
