How to Measure for a Tap & Die
- Look at the threaded fastener you are repairing. Measure the outside diameter of the thread.
- Count how many threads there are per inch.
- Compare the numbers and thread type you just gathered to the numbers written on the taps and dies.
What is the diameter of 1/2 inch BSP?

What is die nut?
A die nut, also known as a thread chaser, is used for sharpening an existing thread. It is run over threads that may have been damaged or blunted over time to correct them to their original condition. It looks the same in appearance to a square or hexagonal nut.
What is die size?
The die size of a specific chip is the physical dimensions of a bare die. Since the die size and shape determines the total number of dies that may be realized from a single wafer of a certain size on a specific process node, the die size is a strong indicator of manufacturing cost.
How small is a die?
Current Die Sizes The current mainstream standard offered by both Intel and AMD is 14 nanometers (nm). Remember, one nanometer is 1/1000 the size of a micrometer, making it substantially smaller than the carbon filament.
Is smaller die size better?
By using a smaller process, a circuit could take up less space than it would usually occupy. This means there could be more space available for more circuitry to be laid down, increasing what the circuit could be capable of doing, and allowing for far more complicated circuits to be designed and produced.
