At the threaded bit, an M4 would be 4mm across.
What size of screw is M4?
4 millimetres
The M4 machine screw has a thread diameter of 4 millimetres, in simple terms the M stands for millimetres followed by the size – in this case 4 mm.

What does M4 0.7 mean?
In metric nomenclature, an M4 x 0.7 cap screw has a 4 mm barrel and the pitch is 1 thread per 0.7 mm. (The term M4 x 0.7 is often shortened to just M4.)
Is M4 screw 4mm?
At the threaded bit, an M4 would be 4mm across.
What size is M4 in MM?
ISO Metric Machine Screw Thread Dimensions
| Thread Size | Nominal Diameter (mm) | Thread Pitch (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| M3 | 3.0 | 0.50 |
| M3.5 | 3.5 | 0.60 |
| M4 | 4.0 | 0.70 |

How thick are M4 bolts?
Coarse and Fine pitch for the sizes you asked about: M3-0.50 and M3-0.35. M4-0.7 and M4-0.5. M5-0.8 and M5-0.5.
What does M12 mean?
Those are metric screw dimensions. M10 means a 10 millimeter outer diameter for the bolt or whatever piece it is; M12 means 12 millimeters. The part after the ‘x’ is the pitch — how many mm a thread is wide. To figure out which you have, you can measure the existing part with calipers and a thread gauge.
What size is M18 bolt?
Dimensions for DIN931 Hex Head Bolt
| Diameter (d) | Pitch | Across Flats (s) |
|---|---|---|
| M16 | 2mm | 24mm |
| M18 | 2.5mm | 27mm |
| M20 | 2.5mm | 30mm |
| M22 | 2.5mm | 32mm |
How are M4 bolts measured?
Do not measure the head of the bolt, measure the threaded part, outside of the threads. If your bolt is metric, then the diameter is stated using the letter “M”. For example, if your bolt has a diameter of 4mm then it is called an ‘M4 bolt’ if your bolt is imperial then it will be measured in inches.
What is M12 in mm?
Standard metric spanner and allen key sizes.
| Size | Spanner | Allen Key |
|---|---|---|
| M8 | 13 mm | 6 mm |
| M10 | 17 mm | 8 mm |
| M12 | 19 mm | 10 mm |
| M16 | 24 mm | 14 mm |
What size is m12?
Metric Hex Bolt Dimensions
| NOMINAL SIZE (D) | BODY DIAMETER | |
|---|---|---|
| m10 | 10.00 | 9.78 |
| m12 | 12.00 | 11.73 |
| m14 | 14.00 | 13.73 |
| m16 | 16.00 | 15.73 |
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.
How wide is an M4 hole?
Metric Threads
| Thread | Drill size for tapping standard metric threads | Clearance hole |
|---|---|---|
| M2.5 | 2 | 2.9 |
| M3 | 2.5 | 3.4 |
| M3.5 | 2.9 | 3.9 |
| M4 | 3.3 | 4.5 |
What size is a #4 screw?
As a handy coincidence, the Gauge (imperial) roughly equals the screw head size in millimetres. A 4 gauge screw will have a head that is approximately 4mm wide.
What size are M2 screws?
The “M” designation for metric screws indicates the outer diameter of the screw in millimetres, so for an M2 screw, the outer diameter is 2mm. However, in practice the actual diameter might be between 1.9mm-2mm due to manufacturing tolerances.
What does M3 0.5 mean?
Full Member. 0.5 is the pitch, which is standard pitch for m3.
How can you tell screw size?
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 do screw size numbers mean?
The first number is the diameter. The bigger the number the bigger the screw. The second number is the number of threads per inch. Check your state and local codes before starting any project.
What is a thread diameter?
Thread, Diameter, and Pitch
Major Diameter: The largest diameter of the thread of the screw or nut. The term “major diameter” replaces the term “outside diameter” as applied to the thread of a screw and also the term “full diameter” as applied to the thread of a nut.
