Is M8 bolt same as 8mm?
M8 is not exactly 8mm but it is sufficient from a non-engineering point of view as long as the thread pitch is correct. Luckily, most commonly available metric bolts have the same pitch. Regarding tolerance for common uses it can also often be ignored.
Is M8 nut 8mm?
M8 (8mm) Thread Size.
What does M8 nut mean?
M8-1.0 x 20. Here’s what the description means… M = Metric thread designation. 8 = Nominal diameter, in millimeters. 1.0 = Pitch (distance from thread to thread), in millimeters.
What size bolt has an 8mm head?
Metric Shoulder Bolt Dimensions
| Shoulder Diameter (A) | Thread (C) | Head Diameter (E) |
|---|---|---|
| 8mm | 6mm x 1.0 | 13mm |
| 10mm | 8mm x 1.25 | 16mm |
| 12mm | 10mm x 1.5 | 18mm |
| 16mm | 12mm x 1.75 | 24mm |
Is an M8 bolt 8mm wide?
M8 is the designation for a metric (M) sized bolt or screw that is 8mm (8) in diameter. This is roughly equivalent to a 5/16 bolt or screw.
How do I know what M8 bolt I have?
The defined diameter of metric bolts is actually slightly larger than the actual diameter of the bolt shaft. So an M8 bolt would have a shaft diameter that’s slightly under 8mm which means that the bolt should fit through an 8mm hole.
What size socket do you need for an M8 nut?

What does M8 mean?
M8 means “Mate.” M8 uses the number 8 to replace the letters “ate.” Here are some other terms that make use of this efficiency: D8 (Date)
What does 8.8 on the head of a bolt mean?
A property class (PC) is the metric equivalent of a grade in inch series terminology. So, in English, a PC 8.8 bolt is a bolt with a nominal tensile strength of 800 MPa and a nominal yield strength that is 80\% of the bolt’s nominal tensile strength, or 640 MPa.
