Pitch is the distance from a point on the screw thread to a corresponding point on the next thread measured parallel to the axis. Pitch Diameter is the simple effective diameter of screw thread, approximately halfway between the major and minor diameters.
How do you find pitch diameter?
To calculate the pitch diameter, one must imagine a cylinder whose diameter exists at the point where the thread groove width and the thread crest width are both equal to one another and equal to half the nominal pitch of the thread. The diameter of this imagined cylinder is the pitch diameter.
What does pitch mean on a bolt?
The thread pitch is the distance between threads expressed in millimetres (measured along the length of the fastener). For example a thread pitch of 1.5 means that the distance between one thread and the next is 1.5mm. In general smaller fasteners have finer thread so they have lower thread pitch.
