Screw thread converters translate between different thread designations: UNC, UNF, metric (M), BSW, etc.

Formule

Inch: #10-24 UNC = 10 size, 24 threads/inch
UNC
10 size — 10 size

Guide étape par étape

  1. 1Metric: M10 = 10 mm diameter, coarse (1.5 mm pitch) or fine (1.25 mm)
  2. 2Inch: #10-24 UNC = 10 size, 24 threads/inch
  3. 3Non-interchangeable between systems (need washers, adapters)

Exemples résolus

Entrée
M8 metric thread
Résultat
8 mm diameter, UNC equivalent #5-40, similar size
Not exactly interchangeable

Erreurs courantes à éviter

  • Assuming metric and inch are compatible (they're not)
  • Not checking thread pitch (critical for alignment)

Questions fréquentes

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.
