How do you measure the diameter of a bolt?
To measure the diameter of screws and bolts, you measure the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.
What is nominal bolt diameter?
The size most commonly associated with screw threads is the nominal diameter. Nominal diameter is a more of a label than a size. For example, a bolt and nut may be described as being ½” diameter. But neither the external threads of the bolt nor the internal threads of the nut are exactly .

How do you calculate effective diameter?
The effective diameter E I s then calculated as E=T+P, Where T= Dimension under the wires = M-2d, M=dimension over the wires, d= diameter of each wire The wires used are made of hardened steel to sustain the wear and tear in use. These are given a high degree of accuracy and finish by lapping to suit different pitches.
How do you find Nominal Diameter?
Nominal Bore (NB) is European Designation equivalent to NPS. For NPS 5 and larger, the Nominal Diameter (DN) is equal to the NPS multiplied by 25.
