What is M16 nut?

Metric bolts are made fractionally under their stated size, for instance an M16 bolt will have a shank diameter of typically 15.97mm. This means that a 16mm bolt will fit through a 16mm hole but to allow for misalignment between parts it is common practice to drill bolt holes slightly larger.

What is M16 thread pitch?

With metric threads tapping drill size is easy to work out because it is the bolt diameter minus the thread pitch so, for example, a standard pitch M16 bolt has a pitch of 2.0mm so the tapping drill size is 16 – 2 = 14mm.

What is the diameter of a bolt?

Typically, machine bolt sizes range from 1/4″ to 1 1/4″ for square heads and 3/8″ to 1 3/4″ in diameter for hex heads, and lengths span from about 3/4″ to 18″ for square and 6 1/2″ to 24″ for hex heads. Measure length from under the head to the threaded end of the bolt.
