Thread Form Terms Pitch – The axial distance between threads Pitch is equal to the lead in a single start screw Lead – The axial distance the nut advances in one revolution of the screw The lead is equal to the pitch times the number of starts Screw Starts – The number of independent threads on the screw shaft example one two or four in theUnderstanding Screw Sizes – Inch Standards Screws with a diameter smaller than 1 4 quot have a nominal size indicated by a number e g 8 or 10 1 4 quot and larger diameters are shown as inches The diameter refers to the major diameter or outside edge of the threads If the screw size includes a dash with a number following it that is the number of threads per inch tpi 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 the screw bolt in inches and the second is the Imperial Thread Chart Threads per inch Major Major BSF BSCY Brass BSW UNC UNF BA Size Dia quot Dia mm 55 176 60 176 55 176 55 176 60 176 60 176 47 5 176 0G 0 0600 1 524 80 1 16 0 0625 1 588 60 10BA 0 0669 1 699 72 6 1G 0 0730 1 854 64 72 9BA 0 0748 1 900 65 1 5 64 0 0781 1 984 56 2G 0 0860 2 184 56 64 8BA 0 0866 2 200 59 1 3 32 0 0938 2 381 48 7BA 0 0984 2 Threads Per Inch Minor Diameter 75 Thread for Aluminum Brass amp Plastics 50 Thread for Steel Stainless amp Iron Close Fit Free Fit 1 0 073 48 0 076 46
The design principles of ISO general purpose metric screw threads quot M quot series threads are defined in international standard ISO 68 1 Each thread is characterized by its major diameter and its pitch ISO metric threads consist of symmetric V shaped thread In the plane of the thread axis the flanks of the V have an angle of 60 176 to each other The coarse thread series UNRC or UNC is used on the vast majority of bolts and nuts Number of threads per inch ranges from 20 threads for a 1 4 in diameter bolt to 4 threads for a 4 in diameter bolt The fine thread series UNRF or UNF is found mostly in automotive and aeronautical work Threads per inch range from 28 threads for a 1 4 Screws Rivets Hinges amp Muro T17 amp SDS Screws Socket Screws Bolts amp Nuts Construction Fasteners Nuts amp Washers www fortressfasteners co nz Fortress is a quality New Zealand brand conceived and distributed by MSL Manufacturing Supplies Ltd MSL was the innovation of the company director in 1980 starting as a small operation in New Lynn Auckland It was his Fastener and Screw Bolt Design Formula and Calculations Related Metric External Fasteners Thread Designations Sizes M1 6 M18 Metric External Fasteners Thread and Fastener Sizes M20 M50 Screw Thread Designations Minor Diameter Major Diameter Pitch Diameter ANSI ASME EXTERNAL Screw Thread Size Chart All units are in inches Unified Figures in table show amount to subtract from O D of screw to obtain specific percentages of thread Select nearest size commercial stock drill METHOD 1 Drilled Hole Size in Basic Major Dia Of Thread in Use whole numbers for of thread for 65 not 65 METHOD 2 Nominal O D Dbl Thread Depth X of Full Thread Drilled Hole Size EXAMPLE To find
