2020 2 23 nbsp 0183 32 US fasteners specify threads per inch TPI commonly called thread count so 20 would represent 20 threads per inch Metric fasteners instead specify a thread pitch which is the distance between the threads Therefore a 1 5 pitch would have 1 5 millimeters between each thread how are Whitworth threads measured
Metric Thread Pitch Table Monster Bolts Metric fasteners differ drastically from their US counterparts and are absolutely not interchangeable This is most apparent in how Metric screws use a Thread Pitch where US screws use Threads Per Inch TPI Metric Thread Pitch is calculated as the millimeter mm distance between two thread peaks
2020 3 8 nbsp 0183 32 For example the U S uses threads per inch while other parts of the world use a metric thread pitch You can measure these with a ruler but you will have more accuracy with a caliper and thread gauge Steps Method 1 Method 1 of 3 Determining U S Thread 1
The pitch of a metric thread can be checked by direct measurement with a metric rule Imperial threads have their pitch measured indirectly as a given number of teeth per inch Use a steel rule to find the pitch or teeth per inch of a thread Place a rule along

Metric threads are measured by the diameter of the threaded portion and by how far apart the threads are The common metric thread 10mm x 1 0 indicates a 10mm o d on the threaded portion and a thread pitch of 1 0mm which is one thread every millimeter Since there are 25 4 millimeters in 1 inch that works out to 25 4 threads per inch
The thread pitch on the M6 is 1 0 which is roughly equivalent to 25 6 threads per inch Vs the 28 TPI for the inch fastener Not much difference and easy to confuse The following chart cites other examples which illustrate the potential danger of mixing an inch with a metric fastener

The Constant options allow you to specify a single Pitch Lead or Threads Per Inch value to be applied over the length of the thread The two unspecified parameters Lead and Threads Per Inch if Pitch is specified are figured automatically based upon this value and the specified Number of Starts
2016 12 8 nbsp 0183 32 Thread pitch is one of the key classifying units used to specify threaded fasteners in the metric system Thread pitch refers to the distance between threads and is expressed in millimeters This measurement is taken along the length of the fastener For example if the distance between two threads is 1 6mm this means the thread pitch is 1 6 A steel rule
TPI stands for Threads Per Inch which means the total number of threads per inch measured along the length of a fastener TPI is used only with American fasteners Metric Fasteners use a thread Pitch In general smaller fasteners have finer threads so the thread
