How to Measure Nuts by Size?

Generally speaking, different types of screw nuts use four types of measurements, including the length of the shank, nut head size, the width of the shank, and the size of the thread. Nut screw types come in many different measurements and cannot be interchanged. 

• Place the head of a nut into a motherboard nut gauge.    

They are available in most hardware and automotive parts stores and come in both metric and standard sizing.  

• Measure the shank length of the metric trapezoidal nut from the bottom of the head

You can use a measuring tape to determine its overall length.  

• Put the shank of the screw mount nut width gauge.

This measurement is the diameter of the shank and can be in either metric or standard sizing.      

• Unfold and attach the thread pitch gauge to the threads of the small screw nut.    

There will only be one gauge key on the thread gauge because millimeter and inch measurements are slightly different.
