3-Wire Measurement – Known Thread Size and Wire Size
Note: When solving for 3-Wire Measurements and Pitch Diameters, the
calculator assumes the equivalent External Thread Type if an Internal
Thread Type is set (i.e., Internal 2B is assumed External 2A for U.S.
Threads; Internal 6H is assumed External 6H for Metric Threads).
