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

Formula

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

Guida passo passo

  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)

Esempi risolti

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

Errori comuni da evitare

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

Domande frequenti

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.
