- This thread form was developed by Sir Joseph Whitworth in 1841.
- The thread form has rounded roots and crests and is specified in BS84:1956.
- The major diameter of external thread and pitch are specified by a simple numerical value (most commonly measured in millimetres).

- Bottoming Taps are typically preceded by the use of a Taper or Intermediate Tap.
