Measurement of various elements of
Thread
• Pitch Diameter
• Major Diameter
• Minor Diameter
• Thread angle
• Pitch
Measurement of Effective/Pitch
diameter
The measurement of
minor diameter is done by
projecting the thread form
on a screen.
Using taper parallels for Internal threads
This method is not the most accurate and should only be used when you do not have a
gauge. You can determine the thread pitch by measuring the distance between the
crest (the top part of the thread).
