Inch and metric thread pitch charts

Inch & Metric Thread Standards

Visit our online store for product availability
Inch and metric thread sizes are specified differently. Inch thread sizes are specified by the nominal major diameter and the
number of threads per inch. For example, a 1/4-20 (UNC coarse) thread has a 1/4" nominal major diameter and 20 threads
per inch, while a 1/4-28 (UNF fine) thread has the same nominal major diameter but 28 threads per inch.

Metric thread specifications are different because the thread pitch is defined by the distance between each thread in mm
instead of threads per inch. For example, an M12x1.75 (coarse) thread has a 1.75mm pitch, while an M12x1.50 (fine)
thread has a 1.50mm pitch.

Both DIN and ISO standards for metric threads ignore the pitch callout on coarse threads. For example, a thread diameter
defined as "M12" indicates a coarse pitch (M12-1.75).
