Well , that's assuming it's metric i.e.

The relationship between the height H and the pitch P is described by the following equation:

In an external (male) thread (e.g., on a bolt), the major diameter Dmaj and the minor diameter Dmin define maximum dimensions of the thread. This means that the external thread must end flat at Dmaj, but can be rounded out below the minor diameter Dmin. Conversely, in an internal (female) thread (e.g., in a nut), the major and minor diameters are minimum dimensions, therefore the thread profile must end flat at Dmin but may be rounded out beyond Dmaj.

The minor diameter Dmin and effective pitch diameter Dp are derived from the major diameter and pitch as

....and not the old Landy favourite , the Whitworth  

 

The form of a Whitworth thread is based on a fundamental triangle with an angle of 55° at each peak and valley. The sides are at a flank angle of Θ = 27.5° to the perpendicular to the axis. Thus, if the thread pitch is p, the height of the fundamental triangle is H = p/2 tan Θ = 0.96049106 p. However, the top and bottom 16 of each of these triangles is cut off, so the actual depth of thread (the difference between major and minor diameters) is 23 of that value, or h = p/3 tan Θ = 0.64032738 p. The peaks are further reduced by rounding them with a 2x(90°-Θ) = 180°−55° = 125° circular arc. This arc has a height of e = H sin Θ/12 = 0.073917569 p (leaving a straight flank depth of h−2e = 0.49249224 p) and a radius of r = e/(1−sin Θ) = 0.13732908 p.
