Product Information

Japan has a JIS metric screw thread standard that largely follows the ISO, but with some differences in pitch and head sizes. In our metric screw size chart, you’ll find all the information you need to buy the right size of screws for your project. Our chart includes: The sizing of screws in one of the most challenging things, but there are also a huge variety of different kinds of screw that can be used for a wide range of different job. In an external (male) thread (e.g. on a bolt), the major diameter D maj and the minor diameter D min define maximum dimensions of the thread. This means that the external thread must end flat at D maj, but can be rounded out below the minor diameter D min. Conversely, in an internal (female) thread (e.g. in a nut), the major and minor diameters are minimum dimensions; therefore the thread profile must end flat at D min but may be rounded out beyond D maj. In practice this means that one can measure the diameter over the threads of a bolt to find the nominal diameter D maj, and the inner diameter of a nut is D min. cone point tip grub screws, which are ideal for exerting additional force when joining items made from softer materials, or to fit into an existing depression in the piece being mated to

These are the basics to know when looking at screw sizes but to find out more about the thread of screws and other items you can look at Wikipedia. There’s a lot to learn if you’re interested! Metric Screw Sizes Explained

So, we’ll be starting by explaining how to read metric screw callouts first. This will help you use our metric screw size chart that is included further in the article. How to Read Metric Screw Sizes? The length of a machine screw or bolt is indicated by an × and the length expressed in millimetres (e.g. M8-1.25×30 or M8×30). [ citation needed]

The length is given next and it should be remembered that the length given for a screw is the length that is buried in the wood or other material, it does not include the head of a raised, or domed headed screws. You can apply a penetrating lubricant to help reduce and remove any rust or corrosion present around the threads of the grub screw prior to startingOberg, Erik; Jones, Franklin D.; Horton, Holbrook L.; Ryffel, Henry H. (2000), Machinery's Handbook (26thed.), New York: Industrial Press Inc., ISBN 0-8311-2635-3. The screw length is the third and final number you find in metric callouts. It’s measured differently depending on the type of the screw head. Whether you’re buying screws online or in-store, if you don’t know how to read screw callouts, you’ll probably end up getting the wrong size. Pro-tip, you might find some imperial callouts that contain only two numbers. These two numbers are the gauge number and screw length. The relationship between the height H and the pitch P is found using the following equation where θ is half the included angle of the thread, in this case 30°: [3] H = 1 2 tan ⁡ θ ⋅ P = 3 2 ⋅ P ≈ 0.866025 ⋅ P {\displaystyle H={\frac {1}{2\tan \theta }}\cdot P={\frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}}\cdot P\approx 0.866025\cdot P}

Don’t worry if you don’t follow this as not many people know about these relationships, let alone use them. More about Screws Rather than use a “Gauge” figure, the metric system uses the (major) diameter in millimetres. The length is also measured in millimetres and exactly the same as it is for the imperial system. What about the thread per inch number? In this case, it means that the screw has the standard number of threads. The Only Metric Screw Size Chart You’ll Need Final report" (PDF). ntrs.nasa.gov.

However, the basic steps to removing a grub screw will be largely similar to those required for removing any other type of threaded fastener:

Imperial Screw Sizes Explained

Unlike imperial callouts, the metric screw size callouts always start with the letter M followed by a number. This number is the screw diameter. The design principles of ISO general-purpose metric screw threads ("M" series threads) are defined in international standard ISO 68-1. [2] Each thread is characterized by its major diameter, D ( D maj in the diagram), and its pitch, P. ISO metric threads consist of a symmetric V-shaped thread. In the plane of the thread axis, the flanks of the V have an angle of 60° to each other. The thread depth is 0.54125 × pitch. The outermost 1⁄ 8 and the innermost 1⁄ 4 of the height H of the V-shape are cut off from the profile. ST – Self Tapping; These screws have a tip that will allow them to be screwed into (typically wood) without a pilot hole being drilled.
