Conversion of Thread Sizes (# Size vs.

Decimal)
(Formulas below to be worked without the decimal point).

Formula for converting the number form (n) of a thread major diameter to a decimal value (d):
d = 13n + 60

ex: 6-32

d = 13n + 60
d = 13(6) + 60
d = 78 + 60
d = 138

Add Decimal (.138)

Formula for converting the decimal form (d) of a thread major diameter to a number value (n):
