Threads per inch on airsoft silencers

[flamingtank]

Hello im wondering if anyone knows exacly how many threads per inch are on the standard 14mm CCW thread?

... none? .... cause metric threads don't use Threads per INCH


the pitch of the thread your looking for however is 14x1.0 left hand.


metric measure the mm's between threads... imperial measures the threads within an inch

Hahahaha thanks a heaps and the threader is in imperial so threads per cm is kinda usless XP at least its a nice easy no. to convert lol.
Thanks again

it's not the mm between threads, it's the number of threads/mm.

14x1.0 is 14 mm dia with one thread making one complete rotation around the diameter within 1 mm. i.e. 14x 1.75, 14 mm dia, 1.75 threads in one complete rotation within 1 mm, so 1.75 is finer than 1.0 or 1.5.

um yea, there's 25.4 mm in an inch. so a metric pitch of 1.75 is 44.45 threads/inch, or 0.75 pitch is 19.05 threads/inch.

whaaaaaaaat? O.o
Threads in metric are designated by thread pitch, imperial is designated by threads per inch.
An M14x1 thread has a pitch of 1mm between crests and 25.4 threads per inch.
An M16x2 thread has a pitch of 2mm between crests and 12.7 threads per inch.

standard metric sizes are M6x1, M8x1.25, M10x1.5, M12x1.75 etc
If what you're saying were true, bolts would get finer in pitch as they get bigger

other way mate... 1.0 is a finer pitch .. getting into machine screw pitch ... 2.0 is really gnarly open pitch .. like 1 ton truck duelly lug nuts...

I can post a picture of my taps (well atleast my chasers) side by side if you like LOL ...
