Inch Thread vs. Metric Thread
Fastener Combinations
Contributing to Assembly
Weakness
The following inch/metric screw and nut (or
tapped hole) combinations can be fully tightened,
but the resulting assembly will be 25% to 60%
weaker than required. Service failure of the
assembly is probable.
Incompatible Metric vs. Metric
Fastener Systems
Thread mismatch can also result when combining
fasteners from incompatible metric fastener
systems. The resulting faulty thread engagement
typically causes thread stripping and/or assembly
weakness which may lead to service failure.
