Screw thread converters translate between different thread designations: UNC, UNF, metric (M), BSW, etc.
Fórmula
Inch: #10-24 UNC = 10 size, 24 threads/inch
- UNC
- 10 size — 10 size
Guía paso a paso
- 1Metric: M10 = 10 mm diameter, coarse (1.5 mm pitch) or fine (1.25 mm)
- 2Inch: #10-24 UNC = 10 size, 24 threads/inch
- 3Non-interchangeable between systems (need washers, adapters)
Ejemplos resueltos
Entrada
M8 metric thread
Resultado
8 mm diameter, UNC equivalent #5-40, similar size
Not exactly interchangeable
Errores comunes a evitar
- ✕Assuming metric and inch are compatible (they're not)
- ✕Not checking thread pitch (critical for alignment)
Preguntas frecuentes
Can metric and inch threads be used interchangeably?
No, slightly different pitch and angle. Using wrong thread can damage equipment.
What's the difference between coarse and fine pitch?
Fine pitch holds tighter, suits thin walls, vibration-resistant. Coarse easier to assemble, stronger.
