Questions about nuts
Thread Content
I’m just starting out with mechanical design, so I have a rather basic question. What do M16, M10 mean? Does it mean that the inner diameter of the nut is 16 or 10? Please help me understand. What does the ‘M’ at the beginning stand for?
The first letter represents the thread code; for example, M denotes ordinary threads, G denotes pipe threads without threaded sealing, R denotes pipe threads with threaded sealing, Tr denotes trapezoidal threads, and so on. The second number indicates the nominal diameter of the thread. M16 refers to a standard thread with a nominal diameter of 16 mm.

Check the manual more often; you’ll understand it after learning a bit!
When studying *mechanics, a hardware manual is essential and should be consulted frequently
Ugh, I already know and you still ask – trying to score points, right? Stupid
