UNC to Metric / UNF to Metric

Comparison of inch threads and metric threads
Inch thread (UNC) vs. Metric Thread (M3)

 

Conversion data for UNC to metric fasteners for industrial bolts and machine screws. While metric screws and inch screws may appear similar, they possess different thread types and fundamental units. It's important to note that these screw types are not compatible and cannot be swapped interchangeably. The following conversion chart aims to illustrate the inch screws and metric screws that can be effectively compared.

UNC to metric Converstion Chart

 

In the inch screw table for UNC, we provide a clear comparison of the most common sizes. On the left side of the table, you will find the UNC thread, and on the right side, the metric coarse thread (often referred to as standard thread). By juxtaposing them, one can quickly get an idea of which UNC thread is approximately equivalent to which metric thread, providing a rough estimation of the sizes as well.
