Over Wire Measurements for M22 X 2


* 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

mm Inch
Permissible Wire Diameter Range 1.01 - 2.021 0.0398 - 0.0796
Ideal Wire Diameter 1.155 0.0455
Possible Wires
From Standard Sets		 * 1.01
* 1.155
* 1.443
* 1.732
* 2.021
 * 0.0642
