Reverse Lookup
Instructions
This table is intended to facilitate finding the name, or type, of a thread form when that information is not known. This might typically happen when one has a screw that needs to be matched, but this table can also be used to help choose between similar thread forms.
On the left hand side of the page the outside diameter of the thread is given, along with the pitch. The table is sorted, diameter and then pitch. Inch and metric equivalents are given. If you have a screw and you need to find out what it is, first measure the outside diameter (inch or metric), and find similar entries in the first columns. Then, if necassary, measure the pitch of the screw to differentiate between the screw thread families. In some cases similar threads from different families will match in both diameter and pitch, but have a different thread angle. Each family has it's own column, and the descriptive indexes in these columns are clickable to take you to the full thread data for that particular screw thread.
