Table of metric, pipe and inch threads - comparison

Threads are divided into external (a.k.a. male, screws) and internal (a.k.a. female, nuts). Male threads placed on the outside – shafts, and female threads – inside holes.

The following table provides comparative data for internal and external threads, both metric and inch.
