Thread Pitch Chart
A reference chart to view the thread pitch for metric coarse, metric fine and extra fine and imperial fasteners UNC (unified national coarse) and UNF (unified national fine) and includes hard to find fasteners like BSW (British standard whitworth), BSF (British standard fine) and BA (British association). Laid out in diameter order with the smallest first, you can easily see the closest similar size across each different thread type working from left to right. This helps decide what fastener you have or if you need to substitute it for one that is available. Please note this chart has been complied to be a helpful resource and does not mean we carry the size or thread type in stock.
