Introduction
Machine screws, a ubiquitous element in various industries and home improvement projects, are cylindrical fasteners with a helical thread that provides a secure connection. Understanding the different diameters of machine screws is crucial for selecting the correct size for your application. This article presents a comprehensive machine screw diameter chart, along with essential information on screw sizes and applications, to help you make informed choices.
Machine screw diameters are typically measured in two units: inches and millimeters. The diameter of a screw refers to the measurement across the widest point of the threads.
The following table provides a comprehensive chart of machine screw diameters in both inches and millimeters:
Inch Diameter | Millimeter Diameter |
---|---|
#2 | 2.4 mm |
#4 | 3.2 mm |
#6 | 3.9 mm |
#8 | 4.8 mm |
#10 | 5.5 mm |
1/4" | 6.3 mm |
5/16" | 8 mm |
3/8" | 10 mm |
7/16" | 11 mm |
1/2" | 13 mm |
9/16" | 14 mm |
5/8" | 16 mm |
