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.cite-ref-bhandari2007p203-1-0[1] This is a defining factor for the shape of a screw thread. Standard values include:

| Name | Code | Angle | Profile | Standards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Most V-threads (including ISO , NPT and UTS ) | M | 60° | | DIN 13 / ISO ? / ASME / ANSI ? |
| Whitworth threads | W | 55° | | DIN 49301 / BS ? |
| British standard pipe thread | G | 55° | | DIN / BS / EN / ISO 228-1 / ISO 7-1 |
| National Pipe Thread | NPT | 60° | | ASME B1.20.-1983 Pipe Threads, General Purpose, Inch |
| Knuckle thread [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Round thread | Rd | 30° | [ 5 ] | DIN 405 / DIN 20400 |
| Acme thread [ 6 ] | | 29° | | ASME/ANSI B1.5-1988 [ 7 ] |
| Metric trapezoidal threads [ 1 ] | Tr | 30° | | DIN 103 |
| Buttress threads [ 6 ] | S | 45° | | DIN 2781 |
| German buttress threads [ 6 ] | S | 30° | | DIN 513 |
| Square threads [ 1 ] | Sq | 0° (parallel) | | ? |
| Panzergewinde , "steel conduit thread" | Pg | 80° | | DIN 40430 |
| British Association (BA) thread | BA | 47° 30' = 47.5° | | BS 93:2008 |
| Löwenherz thread [ 8 ] | | 53° 8' ≈ 53.1° | | |
| Bodmer thread [ 9 ] | | 50° | | |
