How to Evaluate Pitch of screw?

Pitch of screw evaluator uses Pitch = Lead of Screw/Number of Threads to evaluate the Pitch, Pitch of screw formula is defined as the distance between two consecutive threads of a screw, which is a critical parameter in determining the mechanical properties of a screw, such as its strength, durability, and efficiency in transmitting motion or power. Pitch is denoted by Ps symbol.
