#1 Simplest way is to buy a bolt gauge from a hardware store or online.
Example:

#2 Next method is to see if you or someone you know ever purchased an assortment of nuts and bolts from a hardware store that has labeled drawers. Take nut from the labeled drawer and match it up.
#3 You can make your own bolt gauge if you own a set of drill bits. Drill holes in sheet metal or wood and label the holes. Push the bolt in the holes till you find a fit. This will not give you the thread pitch though which you usually need for a mating nut.
#4 If you have a set of wrenches that are the size of the bolt threads match them up until you find a fit. You probably do not have wrenches that small though. I assume it is a small bolt.
#5 Use calipers to gauge the diameter and place the gauge reading on an accurate ruler. This will not give you the thread pitch either.

Stress on minor diameter of bolt when bolt is subjected to longitudinal force?
The stress on a bolt under longitudinal force is the total force on the bolt divided by the stress area. The stress area is a little bigger than the minor diameter area, calculated from the average of the minor diameter and pitch diameter. The total force on the bolt is its torque preload plus the (bolt stiffness/(bolt +member stiffness) x (externally applied load )
How do you measure lug patterns?
On a five bolt pattern measure from outer edge of one bolt then across to the middle of another skipping one bolt hole( not quite the diameter). On six or four bolt patterns measure across from bolt center to bolt center as you would the diameter if it were a circle.

That refers to the size wrench necessary to tighten or loosen the bolt.

What is necked-down bolt?
If a bolt is tightened past a certain point, it deforms by stretching, with the result that its diameter is reduced, if it is tightened past the elastic strain limit of the metal the reduction in diameter is permanent. This can often be seen afterwards in a reduced-diameter 'neck' in the shaft of the bolt where the highest stress occurred.
How do you find inner diameter and outer diameter of the bolt?
by using a caliperhttp://www.technologystudent.com/equip1/vernier3.htm

What is the bolt pattern and diameter for Lexus Ls430?
um i have no idea!!
An automotive bolt has a designation of 12-13 unc auto technician a says the bolt is a coarse thread bolt auto technician b says the bolt has a diameter of 13millimeters which of the statements is co?
The first technician is correct, it is a coarse thread. I'm not sure there is a bolt called 12-13 so I am assuming you meant 1/2 - 13. Wich would be a bolt 1/2 inches long. The diameter of a #13 unc bolt would be ( 13 x .013in ) + .06 = .229 inches in diameter.
