Over Wire Measurements for M20 X 2

M20 X 2 : Thread Dimensions (Machining Doctor) (14)

* OverWire is a measuring method to obatin the pitch diameter of threads. It is mostly used when a manufacturer does not have a Go/Nogo gauge for a thread. You can learn more about it here

mmInch
Permissible Wire Diameter Range1.01 - 2.0210.0398 - 0.0796
Ideal Wire Diameter1.1550.0455
Possible Wires
From Standard Sets
