What is the major diameter of a 10-32 thread?
3/16″
10-32 Threads You can identify a 10-32 screw by measuring the diameter at exactly 3/16″ (4.76 mm).
What is the minor diameter of a 10-32 screw?
10-32 screws have a diameter of 3/16″ (4.8mm) where as 12-24 screws have a diameter of 7/32″ (5.6mm).
What is major diameter thread?
Major Diameter: The largest diameter of the thread of the screw or nut. The term “major diameter” replaces the term “outside diameter” as applied to the thread of a screw and also the term “full diameter” as applied to the thread of a nut. Minor Diameter: The smallest diameter of the thread of the screw or nut.

How do we measure major and minor diameter?
The minor diameter can be determined by direct measurement on an optical comparator or by measuring the depth of the thread with a depth micrometer and subtracting twice the measured depth of thread from the major diameter.
Does M5 mean 5mm?
M5 bolts are easy to fix and have a wide variety of applications. These 5mm thread bolts work with matching nuts and are available with a variety of different heads, meaning there will be something for every type of job.
What is the thread diameter on the outside of the threads?
#12: 0.216″ 7/32″ * Nominal thread diameter is measured on the outside of the threads per ASME B18.6.3 For more information about how to measure diameter see our Measuring Fastener Diameter page.
What are Superfine pitch metric threads?
Superfine pitch metric threads are occasionally used in automotive components, such as suspension struts, and are commonly used in the aviation manufacturing industry. This is because extra fine threads are more resistant to coming loose from vibrations.
What are metric thumb screws made of?
These metric screws have a triangular shank that presses tightly as it forms threads, so screws resist loosening in soft metals such as brass, aluminum, and copper. These metric thumb screws are made of chemical-resistant 18-8 stainless steel.
Are the symbols for pitch diameter and minor diameter the same?
If the two class designations for the pitch diameter and minor diameter are same, it is not necessary to repeat the symbols. (Ex: M6 x 1 – 6H) Please Wait…
