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).
