ISO 1832 Threading Insert Code Explained
A complete Mitsubishi threading insert code (e.g. 16ER 1.0 ISO) has 4 parts:
- 16 = Inscribed circle (IC) size, unit 1/16" — 16 means 16/16" = 1.0" (25.4 mm) cutting diameter
- E = External thread (cutting on the outside of a workpiece) or I = Internal thread (cutting on the inside of a bore)
- R = Right-hand thread (most common, clockwise rotation cuts) or L = Left-hand thread (rare)
- 1.0 ISO = Pitch (1.0 mm between threads) + Thread profile (ISO metric, UN, BSPT, NPT, ACME, Trapezoidal)
Use full-profile inserts (e.g. 16ER 1.0 ISO) for standard thread shapes — easiest setup. Use partial-profile inserts (e.g. 16ER 1.5 ISO) for non-standard pitches between the insert's min/max pitch range — more flexible, single insert covers multiple pitches.
3 Typical Threading Applications
- External Thread Turning — Cut threads on the outside of a shaft or cylinder. Use 16ER / 11ER / 22ER on a standard external tool holder (e.g. Mitsubishi SER series). Common thread profiles: ISO metric M3-M24, UN 1/4"-1", BSPT, ACME. Multiple passes required (roughing + finishing).
- Internal Thread Turning — Cut threads on the inside of a bore. Use 16IR on an internal boring bar (e.g. Mitsubishi SIR series). Internal threading requires low cutting forces to avoid vibration. Best for M-class threads in hydraulic fittings, valve bodies, pipe couplings.
- API / Pipe Threading — Petroleum industry threads (API 5B, API 7-2) on drill pipe, casing, tubing. Use 16ER / 16IR with full-profile inserts designed for the specific API thread form. Requires coolant-through holders and high-pressure coolant.
Mitsubishi Threading Grade Cross-Reference
| Mitsubishi Grade | Coating | ISO Application | Recommended For | Sandvik | KORLOY | Tungaloy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| US7020 | TiN+Al2O3 CVD | P20-P30 steel | General steel threading (Mitsubishi's flagship CVD grade) | GC4325 | NC3030 | T6130 |
| VP15TF | TiAlN PVD | M15-M25 stainless, S15-S25 high-temp alloys | Stainless steel & Inconel threading | GC2040 | PC9030 | T9200 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "16" mean in Mitsubishi 16ER / 16IR threading insert codes?
The number is the inscribed circle (IC) size in 1/16" units. 16 means 16/16" = 1.0" (25.4 mm) cutting diameter. Other common sizes: 11 = 11/16" (17.5 mm, for small workpieces), 22 = 22/16" = 1.375" (34.9 mm, for large workpieces). The IC size must match the tool holder pocket size — use a 16ER insert in a 16-size external holder.
What's the difference between full-profile and partial-profile threading inserts?
Full-profile inserts (e.g. 16ER 1.0 ISO) have a specific thread shape locked in — they cut exactly one pitch (e.g. 1.0 mm). Easiest setup, best thread geometry. Partial-profile inserts (e.g. 16ER 1.5 ISO) have a V-shaped cutting edge that covers a range of pitches (e.g. 1.5-3.0 mm). Single insert handles multiple pitches, but thread geometry is slightly less optimal. Use full-profile for production runs of the same thread; use partial-profile for job shops with varying thread specs.
What Mitsubishi grade should I use for stainless steel threading?
Use VP15TF (PVD TiAlN) for stainless steel threading. VP15TF is Mitsubishi's premium stainless grade, equivalent to Sandvik GC2040 and KORLOY PC9030. For general carbon steel, use US7020 (CVD TiN+Al2O3). For cast iron threading, Mitsubishi also offers US7020 (CVD grades work for both steel and cast iron).
Are Mitsubishi threading inserts interchangeable with Sandvik or Tungaloy?
Yes — 16ER, 16IR, 11ER, and 22ER are ISO 1832 standard threading insert geometries, so Mitsubishi inserts are dimensionally interchangeable with Sandvik, Tungaloy, KORLOY, and TaeguTec equivalents (same IC size, same pocket geometry). You can switch brands without changing the threading tool holder.
Do you offer same-day shipping for Mitsubishi threading inserts to international destinations?
Yes. All 44 Mitsubishi MMT threading inserts in this catalog ship same-day from our Hong Kong warehouse with DHL Express to US/EU destinations in 3-7 business days.
