What M6 mean on a bolt?
M6 threads are 6mm metric screws. The standard metric rack screw is called M6 x 1. The ‘M’ means it’s metric. The ‘6’ is the outside diameter measured in millimeters, and the ‘1’ is the distance between adjacent threads, also in millimeters.You can identify an M6 screw by measuring the diameter with a ruler.
What is the outer diameter for M6 bolt?
6 millimetres
That is, an M6 screw has a nominal outer diameter of 6 millimetres and will therefore be a well-located, co-axial fit in a hole drilled to 6mm diameter.
What size bolt has a 36mm head?
Metric Hex Bolt Dimensions
| NOMINAL SIZE (D) | BODY DIAMETER | HEAD THICKNESS |
|---|---|---|
| m36 | 36.00 | 23.38 |
| m42 | 42.00 | 26.97 |
| m48 | 48.00 | 31.07 |
| m56 | 56.00 | 36.2 |
Are M6 and 1/4 20 the same?
I took the OP to mean that M6 fitted but was loose. This rules out 0BA which apart from the included thread angle is virtually identical, thus 1/4 BSF which has a similar pitch and slightly greater diameter. 1/4 20 tpi is either 1/4 Whitworth or 1/4 UNC, they are interchangeable for most purposes.
How are Allen bolt sizes measured?
To measure the diameter of screws and bolts, you measure the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.
What does 8.8 mean on a bolt?
In the case of a 8.8 grade bolt the first figure signifies that the Tensile Strength is at least 800MPa. The second figure signifies that the fastener will begin to yield at 80% of the Ultimate Tensile Strength, i.e. at least 640MPa.
Is M6 smaller than 1 4?
The size of a metric screw or bolt is specified as diameter, pitch and length, in millimeters (millimeters is abbreviated “mm”).
Table 3.
| Metric | Closest Inch |
|---|---|
| M6-1.0 | 1/4-28 (Larger) |
| M7-1.0 | 1/4-28 (Smaller) |
| M8-1.25 | 5/16-18 (Smaller) |
| M10-1.5 | 3/8-16 (Smaller) |
How can you tell if a bolt is metric or standard?
How long is that bolt? Most bolts come in pretty uniform lengths; and this is a good way to determine if the bolt is metric or standard. Measure the bolt length (not including the cap), and see if it’s closer to a fraction of an inch, or a nice and round millimeter length that ends in 5 or 0.
Is M5 and 10 32 the same?
10-32 and M5 are almost identical. If you’re not putting much weight on the rails, you can force one into the other. It will result in minor damage to both the bolt and nut, but it works.
What size is an M7 bolt?
1.0 x 40 mm
M7-1.0 x 40 mm Class 8.8 Zinc Plated Hex Bolt.
What size is a 6mm bolt?
Metric Shoulder Bolt Dimensions
| Shoulder Diameter (A) | Thread (C) | Head Diameter (E) |
|---|---|---|
| 6mm | 5mm x 0.8 | 10mm |
| 8mm | 6mm x 1.0 | 13mm |
| 10mm | 8mm x 1.25 | 16mm |
| 12mm | 10mm x 1.5 | 18mm |
What size head does an M14 bolt have?
Dimensions for DIN931 Hex Head Bolt
| Diameter (d) | Pitch | Head Depth (k) |
|---|---|---|
| M12 | 1.75mm | 7.5mm |
| M14 | 2mm | 8.8mm |
| M16 | 2mm | 10mm |
| M18 | 2.5mm | 11.5mm |
How do you size a hex nut?
Stretch the tape measure across the nut’s diameter to the flat-side directly across from the one your pulling from. If the nut is metric, count the number of lines on the tape measure to find the measurement. If you count 9 lines, the size is a 9-mm (millimeter) nut.
Is M10 the same as 10mm?
If the size is M10 x 25, that would mean that the diameter is 10 mm. Since there is no thread pitch listed, the fastener is assumed to have a coarse thread. The 25 indicated a length of 25 mm. A matching nut would be labeled M10, which also doesn’t require a thread pitch since it’s a course thread fastener.
Will a 8mm bolt fit a 5/16 nut?
Can I use a M8 bolt on a 5/16 thread? They look pretty similar at glance… Well, quick answer is no. They are not the same and they are not interchangeable, although they can work under certain circumstances.
How do you read thread size?
Thread sizes are given in nominal sizes, not in the actual measurement. The exact measurement is slightly below the named or nominal size. For example, a 6mm bolt may measure 5.8mm or 5.9mm, but it is called 6mm bolt. It is also common to use “M” before the bolt size, such as M6 for a 6mm bolt.
What size is a #10 bolt?

Is Grade 8 or 12.9 stronger?
A head with no markings is Grade 2, one with 3 lines spaced 120 degrees is Grade 5, and 6 lines spaced at 60 degree intervals is Grade 8.
Table 1.
| Grade/Class | Strength |
|---|---|
| Metric Class 10.9 | Similar to Grade 8. |
| Metric Class 12.9 | The highest metric class for strength, it exceeds Grade 8. |
