These figures follow the Trapezoidal basic profile of ISO 2901. A 60° basic profile uses a fundamental triangle height H = 0.866025 × P, with external minor diameter d₃ = d − 1.226869 × P and internal minor diameter D₁ = d − 1.082532 × P; the two differ because the external root is rounded while the internal crest is truncated. A 55° Whitworth profile uses H = 0.960491 × P and a thread height of 0.640327 × P. The recommended tap drill is given as nominal diameter minus pitch, which approximates 75% thread engagement — adjust it for tough materials or deep holes.

No specification in this database uses Tr20 × 4. Power threads are not fastener threads — they are found on lead screws, jacks and vice screws, so no bolt or nut in this catalogue is made in this form. The geometry above is what a machinist needs to cut it.
