 /8" x 24 stated in metric units equates to 9.525mm x 1.05833333mm \\
 So a 3/8" fitting is slightly smaller in diameter than the 10mm fitting but each thread is .058mm farther apart than a 10mm fitting's threads. \\

 A 3/8" x 24 UNF American nut will thread very easily and loosely into a 10mm x 1.0 thread fitting but will most likely strip the threads when you tighten it down. ((http://www.fedhillusa.com/webnuts/common%20flares6.pdf)) \\

 It will catch the first thread, making you think that it will go in, but it will destroy the threads as you tighten it. \\
+====== Thread Tap and Drill sizes ======
+===== NPT =====
+    * Pipe threads come either straight (nps) or tapered (npt).  ((DR DICK of the XLFORUM  http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1810036&highlight=tap+die&page=2))
+    * Both are based on the pipe outside diameter as follows:
+    * 1/8 pipe = .405 pipe dia.  ((DR DICK of the XLFORUM  http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1810036&highlight=tap+die&page=2))
+    * 1/4 pipe = .540 dia.  ((DR DICK of the XLFORUM  http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1810036&highlight=tap+die&page=2))
+    * 3/8 pipe = .675 dia.  ((DR DICK of the XLFORUM  http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1810036&highlight=tap+die&page=2))
+    * The above sizes are the major dia of the male straight thread (as the pipe od is the major) and major dia. of tapered male thread at its big end (if fitting is made to the americian standard). ((DR DICK of the XLFORUM  http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1810036&highlight=tap+die&page=2))
+    * The tapered thread has diameter reduced on a taper of .0625 per inch of thread length. Almost all hardware store fittings will be tapered thread.((DR DICK of the XLFORUM  http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1810036&highlight=tap+die&page=2))
+    * Little known fact: All iron heads pipe threads used in cases, rocker boxes, and oil pumps are straight female thread, fitted with tapered thread male fittings.((DR DICK of the XLFORUM  http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1810036&highlight=tap+die&page=2))

+===== AN Thread Sizes =====
+AN (or Army/Navy) was never intended to characterize an entire fluid system, and is mostly designed as a thread specification. \\
+AN sizes range from -2 to -32 in irregular steps, with each step equating to the OD (outside diameter) of the tubing in 1/16" increments. \\ This system does not specify the inside diameter of the tubing because the tube wall can vary in thickness. ((http://www.anfittingsdirect.com/an-fittings-and-stainless-steel-lines-a-an_fittings_sizes.html)) \\
