FAQ
What does the size of a bolt refer to?
The size of a bolt refers to its diameter, which is typically measured in both standard imperial units (e.g. inches) or metric units (e.g. millimeters).
How do you determine the size of a bolt?
The size of a bolt can be determined by measuring the diameter of the threaded portion. For example, a 1/4" bolt has a diameter of 1/4 inch.
Are bolt sizes standardized?
Yes, bolt sizes are standardized based on the type of thread used (UNC, UNF, metric, etc.), making it easier to select the appropriate bolt for a specific application.
Can bolt sizes vary in length?
Yes, bolt sizes can vary in length depending on the requirements of the application. Common lengths include 1 inch, 2 inches, and so on.
What are common measurements for bolt sizes?
Common measurements for bolt sizes in the imperial system include 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", etc., while in the metric system, common sizes include M6, M8, M10, M12, etc.
