What is a M12 bolt in standard?
This example illustrates how a coarse threaded screw may appear… M12 x 25 = 12 mm diameter, coarse thread is assumed (1.75 mm), 25 mm long. M12 is a matching coarse threaded nut.
Is an M12 bolt 12 mm?
Yes. M12 is a 12mm diameter thread. You have to be sure the thread pitch measured in threads per millimeter (1.5 here) is the same as what u need.
What is M12 in Imperial?

How do I know if my threads are standard or metric?
Metric threads are measured by their pitch. That is the distance from the crest of one thread to the crest of the next measured in millimetres. The pitch of a metric thread can be checked by direct measurement with a metric rule. Imperial threads have their pitch measured indirectly as a given number of teeth per inch.
What are the common metric bolt sizes?
Metric bolt sizes range from 10 mm to 24 mm. Odd diameters such as 19 mm and 21 mm become common in this range. Standard bolt sizes range from 5/16-inches to 1 inch, again increasing in increments of 1/16-inch.
How are metric bolts sized?
The size of a metric bolt is specified using pitch, diameter, and length in millimeters. For example, in M8-1.0*20, the “M” means the Metric thread designation, the digit 8 refers to the Nominal diameter (in millimeters), 1.0 refers to the pitch, and 20 refers to the length.
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.
What does metric screw size mean?
The size of a metric screw or bolt is specified as diameter, pitch and length, in millimeters (millimeters is abbreviated “mm”). For nuts, size will appear as diameter and pitch.
