Screws are a common fastener widely used in machinery, electrical appliances and buildings. The general material is metal or plastic, it is cylindrical, and the grooves engraved on the surface are called threads.
Due to the different units of measurement, the representation methods of various threads are also different. For example, M16-2X60 represents a metric thread. His specific meaning is that the nominal diameter of the screw is 16MM, the pitch is 2MM, and the length is 60MM. Another example: 1/4—20X3/4 means the inch thread, what he specifically means is the nominal diameter of the screw It is 1/4 inch (one inch = 25.4MM), there are 20 teeth on one inch, and the length is 3/4 inch. In addition, if you want to express American screws, UNC and UNF are usually added to the back of the British screws to distinguish between American coarse teeth or American fine teeth.
