Enter the pitch and the number of starts into the calculator to determine the thread height. This calculator helps in understanding the dimensions of threads for screws, bolts, and other threaded fasteners.
Thread Height Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the thread height:
TH = P / S
Variables:
- TH is the thread height (mm)
- P is the pitch of the thread (mm)
- S is the number of starts of the thread
To calculate the thread height, divide the pitch of the thread by the number of starts.
What is Thread Height?
Thread height is the distance between the crest of one thread and the root of the next thread, measured perpendicular to the axis of the thread. It is a critical dimension in the design and function of threaded fasteners, affecting the strength and fit of the connection. Understanding thread height is essential for ensuring compatibility between threaded parts and for achieving the desired level of performance in an assembly.
How to Calculate Thread Height?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Thread Height:
- First, determine the pitch of the thread (P) in millimeters.
- Next, determine the number of starts of the thread (S).
- Next, gather the formula from above = TH = P / S.
- Finally, calculate the Thread Height (TH) in millimeters.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Pitch (P) = 1.5 mm
Starts (S) = 1
