Example
Cylinder Screw similar to DIN 912, 1/4 20-UNC x 1.1/2
To determine the thread count, count the threads over one inch (25.4mm), or simply scale up for shorter threads. To convert the length to millimeters, multiply the inch length by 25.4 (for 1/4: 1 divided by 4 times 25.4 = 6.35mm).
Thread gauges are a practical tool for determining the thread count of a screw. These gauges can be easily applied to the thread to measure the exact number of threads per inch. This allows you to quickly identify whether it is a UNC or UNF thread.
