How to Evaluate Pitch of Screw Threads?

Pitch of Screw Threads evaluator uses Screw Pitch = (Pitch Diameter-Micrometer Reading+3*Wire Diameter)/0.86603 to evaluate the Screw Pitch, The Pitch of Screw Threads formula is defined as the distance from a point on the screw thread to a corresponding point on the next thread measured parallel to the axis of the thread. It is represented by the letter p. (p=1/n). Screw Pitch is denoted by P symbol.
