What is the difference between thread count and thread pitch - FAQ
Thread count
is measured as TPI: threads per inch. This is a simple count of the number of threads per inch measured along the length of a screw.
Thread pitch is used in t he metric system for measurement of screw threads and is called the “thread pitch.” This is the distance between two thread "peaks" and is expressed in millimeters.
Note: What is a screw thread? A screw thread, (often referred to as "thread") is a helical structure used to convert between rotational and linear movement or force and is a ridge wrapped around a cylinder or cone in the form of a helix. Screws are often made of stainless steel, PEEK, polypropylene, nylon or other synthetic materials.
