Over Wire Measurements for 3 3/4 - 4 UNC


* 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

Inch mm
Permissible Wire Diameter Range 0.1263 - 0.2526 3.208 - 6.416
Ideal Wire Diameter 0.1443 3.666
Possible Wires
From Standard Sets
* 0.1283
* 0.1443
* 0.165
* 0.1777
* 0.1925
* 0.21
* 3.464
* 4.042
* 4.619
