The more recognizable one is the manufacturer’s part number, which is referenced when ordering the part. The second is a global industry standard number that shows the component’s size and weight. For example, if you want to order a 1/4-20 threaded rod, you would go to the supplier’s website and look up the number of threads per inch (TPI) that they offer.
You would then enter that number into the search box at the top of their page. If you find a part with a TPI of 1.0, then you know that this part is made from the same type of material as the other parts on the page, so you can be confident that you are getting the right part for your application.

What is a 3v belt?
V-belts, also known as vee-belts, are a type of drive belt that has sides that fit in pulleys. They transfer force from a motor to a pulley to power a variety of parts.
What does BX mean on V belts?
A “cogged” style belt can be interchanged on the same pulleys as “b series” or “5l series” belts. The raw edge construction of the BX belts can cause them to have higher ratings.
This results in a higher torque rating than the B series or 5L belts, but the belt is more expensive. Belt – 3/4″ width B X cogs are the most common type of belt. They can be used interchangeably with other types of belts in most applications.
What does V-belt mean?
V-belt is the rubber belt that drives the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump and waterpump. Over time, belts need to be replaced. V-belts come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the most common are round, square and rectangular.
Round belts are used in cars, trucks and SUVs, while the square ones are most commonly found in vans and minivans. Rectangular belts can be found on cars and trucks as well as vans, and they’re used to connect the engine to the transmission.
What is PK in belt?
A worldwide standard metric belt measurement is printed on most belts. It is used to measure the width of a belt, and is also used for measuring the length of the belt from the buckle to the end. Belt width is measured in millimetres (mm) and belt length in metres (m).
What size belt should I buy for a 32 waist?
If you wear a size 32 pants, then you should buy a size 34 belt. If your pants are made with stretchy fabric, make sure to get a size up. If you’re not sure about your size, ask a friend or family member to help you measure. You can also measure yourself in the mirror and compare your measurements to the size chart on our website.
What is the difference between an A belt and a 4L belt?
B belts can be an excellent upgrade and substitute for 4L and 5L v-belts, the opposite is not true. 4L and 5L belts have lower horsepower ratings and design life compared to Classical A and B series v-belts. The use of a 4L or 5L belt in an A or B application will result in reduced performance, increased wear, and increased maintenance costs.
