CLASSES OF THREADS AND TAP SIZE There is a direct relationship between the size of a tap and the size of the thread that it cuts Size refers to pitch diameter and its relationship to the class of fit required If two threaded parts are assembled the looseness or tightness of the fit is determined by contact on the flanks of the threads only This contact is controlled by the pitch
The thread size tells you the thickness of a thread Getting the proper thickness affects the strength diameter sewing machine used and visibility It s an important decision We re going to decode thread sizes and show you what each one means and how they compare with one another When you go to compare the size of two different threads you ll want to make sure
