BA abbreviates British Association and was put together in 1884 to then, be published and standardised in 1903 this thread type is still in high demand today even though ISO metric is slowly replacing due to BA being declared obsolete in 1966. As most engineers are aware the larger the diameter required the smaller BA number needed meaning, size 0BA is largest, size 16BA being the smallest. For sizes 0BA to 16BA the threads specification is specified by British Standard BS 93:1951. Size 2BA is equal to 4mm and size 4BA equivalent with 3mm but, both BA sizes have slightly bigger thread pitches.
