That answer is not correct...
To receive the size of the diameter you multiply the first number by .013 & then add .06". So, the math is as follows: 10*.013+.06= .19" Major Diameter. I'm not quite sure why the numbers .013 and .06 are used, but i will research this.

Screw Pitch is defined as the axial distance between threads. One complete revolution of the screw will move it into an object the distance of the pitch. The smaller the pitch, the greater the mechanical advantage (ability to do work) achieved.
pitch = 1/Threads per Inch So for a 1/2 - 20 thread the pitch is .1
6 is the diameter of the shaft and 32 is the number of threads it has per inch.
24 threads per inch
It is 1/20, or .05 inch. The pitch is the distance betweenthreads, or 1/threads/inch
A #6-32 would have 32 threads per inch.
It is called simply "threads per length" . In US it is threads per inch. It is the reciprocal of the pitch. For example a screw with 32 threads per inch has a pitch of 1/32 inch. The pitch is distance between threads
The pitch of a screw thread is a measure of how closely the threads are spaced. It can be expressed as the number of threads per unit length (32 threads per inch, for example) or as the distance between two threads ( such as .8 mm).
refers to the threads per inch for example screw cutting
The standard size of a camera mounting screw is 1/4 inch and the thread pitch is 20 threads per inch.
The distance between threads of a screw is called the "pitch." Pitch is defined as the axial distance between corresponding points on adjacent threads, essentially measuring how far the screw advances with one complete turn. It is typically expressed in millimeters for metric screws and in threads per inch for imperial screws.

A micrometer typically has 40 threads per inch on the screw, which means it has 40 pitch threads along its length. This allows for very precise measurements to be taken with the micrometer.
Screw Pitch is defined as the axial distance between threads. One complete revolution of the screw will move it into an object the distance of the pitch. The smaller the pitch, the greater the mechanical advantage (ability to do work) achieved.
pitch = 1/Threads per Inch So for a 1/2 - 20 thread the pitch is .1
