Product Information

ST – Self Tapping; These screws have a tip that will allow them to be screwed into (typically wood) without a pilot hole being drilled. This saves a lot of time! The length is given next and it should be remembered that the length given for a screw is the length that is buried in the wood or other material, it does not include the head of a raised, or domed headed screws. An alternative method for finding a common denominator is to determine the least common multiple (LCM) for the denominators, then add or subtract the numerators as one would an integer. Using the least common multiple can be more efficient and is more likely to result in a fraction in simplified form. In the example above, the denominators were 4, 6, and 2. The least common multiple is the first shared multiple of these three numbers. Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8 10, 12

This process can be used for any number of fractions. Just multiply the numerators and denominators of each fraction in the problem by the product of the denominators of all the other fractions (not including its own respective denominator) in the problem. EX:Rather than use a “Gauge” figure, the metric system uses the (major) diameter in millimetres. The length is also measured in millimetres and exactly the same as it is for the imperial system. There is a valuable lesson here: writing numbers in standard form is not always the way to go. It's all about simplicity of notation, but, at the end of the day, it pretty much boils down to a matter of personal preference (or your teacher's if you're writing a test).

For instance, take the number 154.37. It is in its standard form in the decimal base. That means 1 is the hundreds digit, 5 is that of tens, 4 of ones, 3 of tenths, and 7 of hundredths. Having the number written the way it is, makes us see it as a whole, and we don't really think of the individual digits, do we? In mathematics, a fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator and a denominator. The numerator represents the number of equal parts of a whole, while the denominator is the total number of parts that make up said whole. For example, in the fraction of 3 It is worth noting that there is no direct link here between the head size of an imperial screw and the gauge of that screw. It is purely coincidence that, from screw gauges 6- upwards, that the gauge is close to twice the head diameter although some sources would have you believe this is how the gauge is calculated.Suppose that you've taken up astronomy recently and would like to know the gravitational force acting between the Earth and the Moon. For the calculations, we need the masses of the two objects (denote the Earth's by M₁ and the Moon's by M₂) and the distance between them (denoted by R). We have: This is actually quite complicated, as was pointed out by Paul, one of our readers! Here is a more concise explanation of the relationship between gauge (imperial), diameter (metric in mm) and Head size.

If you are struggling to find the best way to get your screw into whatever you are screwing, then have a look at our project that explains all about screwdrivers. We said that the number b should be between 1 and 10. This means that, for example, 1.36 × 10⁷ or 9.81 × 10⁻²³ are in standard form, but 13.1 × 10¹² isn't because 13.1 is bigger than 10. We could, however, convert it to standard form by saying that: This time, we indeed see the digits as the first factors in each multiplication. Moreover, the second factors have a lot in common - they consist of a single 1 with some zeros (possibly none). Above we explain that the Gauge (imperial) happens to have a head which is approximately the same number (in mm). This is the equivalent of saying that the diameter in mm is approximately half the gauge (given what the formula above states).Anyway, if scientists had to write all of those zeros every time they calculated something about our planet, they'd waste ages! It's much easier to recall how to write a number in standard form and say that the mass of Earth is, in fact, The M apparently stands for Metric which sounds plausible, although we cannot verify this. What it indicates however it that the number following it is the diameter of the screw (or bolt) in millimetres. Similarly, fractions with denominators that are powers of 10 (or can be converted to powers of 10) can be translated to decimal form using the same principles. Take the fraction 1 Most manufacturers put both the metric and imperial size on the box of screws which is very helpful, however when purchasing online, many retailers do not. This is largely because the title of the product becomes too long and cumbersome, so something has to go. Whether you deal in old or new money, as it were, you still need to know what you are getting. This is the difference between the two and what you need to look for: Although technically you can use a Phillips driver on a Pozidrive screw and vice versa, their not really designed to fit and under torque load (when you are screwing the screw in) in pretty much all situations it will slip and damage the head of the screw making it difficult to either screw in the screw or remove it, so it’s always best to use the right tool for the job.
