What is a 1/4 screw?

So, a 1/4-20 screw has a 1/4″ diameter (. 250″) with 20 threads per inch. Sometimes the terms “coarse” (or UNC/Unified Coarse Thread) or “fine” (UNF/Unified Fine Thread) are used to describe the thread. The term does not refer to the quality of the thread but rather to the frequency of threads per inch.

What is M20 bolt?

M10-1.0 x 20 M = This designates the fastener is a metric size. 10 = The nominal diameter in millimeters. 1.0 = The thread pitch, or distance between threads, in millimeters. 20 = The fastener’s length, in millimeters.

How to measure the size of a bolt?

Turn your bolt gauge over to find the thread gauge.

  • Rub the bolt on different sized thread gauges. Run the threads of the bolt along the thread gauge of the appropriate type (standard or metric).
  • Stop when the thread gauge grabs the threads of the bolt.
  • Make a note of the thread pitch.

    • What is the standard size of a bolt?

    Metric bolts are referenced using “M” sizes, such as the M8 bolt size. The size of a metric bolt is specified using pitch, diameter, and length in millimeters. For example, in M8-1.0*20, the “M” means the Metric thread designation, the digit 8 refers to the Nominal diameter (in millimeters), 1.0 refers to the pitch, and 20 refers to the length.

    What are the common metric bolt sizes?

    Diameter: the larger the number,the larger the fastener

  • Pitch: the larger the number,the more coarse the thread (the fewer the threads per unit of measure); coarse is the most common metric thread and is assumed when pitch
  • Length: the larger the number,the longer the fastener
