Doug Rupert Could somebody well versed in the secrets of the Imperial system tell me: 1 - When a thread size is expressed at, say, 10-32, what do the "10" and the "32" stand for? 2 - The AN system starts at AN3, which is 10-32.

My Tony Bingelis book with all the good info is loaned out at the moment but here are the basics: 10-32 is the "fine thread" series of bolts as used in aircraft. It is 3/16" in diameter with 32 threads per inch. It is usually referred to as an AN3, indicating it's diameter in 1/16's of an inch. The next size larger would be an AN4 (4/16" or 1/4 inch). The dash number following the AN3 would indicate the length in 1/8" increments The A , H, or no letter following the - number indicates whether the bolt has a drilled head, a drilled shank, or not drilled at all. >2 - The AN system starts at AN3, which is 10-32. What would be the next >smaller size in the standard Imperial system? The next size smaller here in the U.S.A. would be a #8 with 36 threads per inch. I'm GUESSING that to be a 1/8" bolt / screw so whatever your equivalent to .125" should be close. We don't use that size on anything structural. What is your intended use?

According to the chart that Matt pointed us to, the size for a #8 would be 0.164". I need to quit loaning out my Tony Bingelis books I guess. My original question still stand though.

I have no idea what the 10 stands for, but going smaller than that in screw sizes you have 8-32, 6-32, 4-40, and 2-56 as the common used screws. The 3 in AN3 is 3/16" diameter and that refers to the size of the shank of the bolt. Going bigger than that you have AN4 which is 1/4" (4/16), AN5 as 5/16", etc. For your second question there really is not a smaller bolt than an AN3 that I am aware of. Smaller than that they are screws, not bolts, although there may be some special odd bolts smaller than that but they are certainly not common.
