What thread is on the screw?

  
     
  

The thread is the ridge that runs around the body of the screw.

When viewed from the side, the threads of a screw appear as a series of ridges and grooves along the body of the screw. Although all of these edges are part of the same thread, they are called threads.

Pitch

A step is the distance from one ridge to another.

This measurement will tell you how far the screw will travel in one revolution. A screw with a larger pitch (greater distance between turns) will move further per revolution.
