Understanding Metric Fasteners The size of a metric screw or bolt is specified as diameter pitch and length in millimeters millimeters is abbreviated quot mm quot For nuts size will appear as diameter and pitch There is an exception though if pitch isn t specified the fastener is coarse threaded Consider this size 2 2 2022 nbsp 0183 32 Unified Screw Thread System Sizes The chart below provides information on machine screw sizes from size 000 to 189 inch diameter past size 12 screws are called by their measurements in inches Diameter is the nominal size of the screw measured from the farthest points of the threads 22 1 2018 nbsp 0183 32 Screw Thread Terminology Some of the common terms faced when looking into thread types and sizes are summarised below Figure 1 Illustration of a threaded fastener with useful terms labelled Ispatguru com 2018 Major Diameter – Largest fastener thread diameter For example in a screw the major diameter would be the diameter of the shaft 26 2 2020 nbsp 0183 32 Sizing for nuts will appear as diameter and pitch If the pitch isn t specified the fastener is assumed to be coarse thread by default Here is an example of how metric sizing M10 1 0 x 20 Taking a closer look at this description let s explore its meaning M This designates the fastener is a metric size 10 The nominal diameter in 13 5 2014 nbsp 0183 32 For what its worth I was told by an old joiner that the screw sizes were gauged by length and head diameter therefore a 1 quot x 8 screw was 1 inch in length and the head diameter was 5 16 quot the way the head diameter was worked out was to half the number in this case 8 4 and add 1 5 and then call the result as sixteenths of an inch so a 8 screw head was 5 16 in

Screw sizes are written in an odd looking code Sequences like quot 4 30 x 10 quot quot 1 8 10 x 4 6 quot and quot M5 4 x 15 quot may seem meaningless but they say a lot and you need the right screw to do the job Purchasing or using the wrong type of screw can 6 12 2018 nbsp 0183 32 All screws are listed by diameter but the terms used for different types of screws vary A 3 8 quot 16 screw is a machine screw the quot 3 8 quot is the diameter and the quot 16 quot is the number of threads per inch This screw will thread into a nut or threaded hole Wood screws are tapered and thread count is not part of the description metric screw threads ISO 724 DIN 13 T1 Nominal diameter d D Pitch P root radius r pitch diameter d2 D2 minor diameter d3 D1 thread height h3 H1 drill24 4 2012 nbsp 0183 32 I m going to be building a workbench so I ve been screw shopping I need some explanation on the sizing of screws when they are advertised as example 6 x 3 4 quot I know that 3 4 quot is the length of the screw but what does the 6 mean screws Share Improve this question Follow edited Oct 23 17 at 16 41 Xunie 103 3 3 Note Non preferred threads according to standard All dimensions are given in millimeters Supplements Metric hex nut dimensions calculator

As I explained at the top of the page metric bolt sizes are stated as diameter x distance between threads x length American or SAE bolt sizes are expressed as diameter x thread pitch x length Thread pitch is the number of threads per inch An example of a SAE bolt size is 1 2x13x1 7 rows nbsp 0183 32 20 5 2018 nbsp 0183 32 Sometimes called an M size ISO metric threads are commonplace Metric wood screw sizes and why they beat imperial The old imperial method of measuring screws by gauge makes little sense to some of us today like most imperial measurements and the logic of their origins is known only to Wikipedia he says smiling So now we are getting to grips with the common sense of metric wood screw measurements Screw Sizes amp Threads The following provides a comprehenisve table showing the equivalant measurements in inches fractions amp decimals and millimeters for various screw sizes The second table provides the number of threads per inch for coarse UNC and fine UNF threads for various size screws and bolts The first number is the diameter of 20 5 2018 nbsp 0183 32 Sometimes called an M size ISO metric threads are commonplace throughout the world The M size of an ISO metric thread represents the screw s nominal size in millimetres For example an M3 screw will have a 3mm nominal thread diameter in reality the screw would be slightly undersized to ensure compatibility with an M3 3mm nut which in turn would also
