What is the major and minor diameter of threads?
Major Diameter is the largest diameter of a screw thread. Whereas, Minor Diameter is the smallest diameter of a screw thread.
What is a standard thread size?
Preferred sizes are 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 mm, with additional defined sizes halfway between. The standard thread pitch is approximately 14 of the major diameter. The thread form is slightly modified to increase the minor diameter, and thus the strength of screws and taps.
What does NC and NF mean?
NC (National Coarse) and UNC (Unified National Coarse) are the same. NF (National Fine) and UNF (Unified National Fine) are the same. NC ( National Coarse ) Size ( Diameter ) Threads per Inch.
What is UNF in thread size?
Unified fine pitch
The Unified Thread Series is classified into coarse threads, fine threads and extra fine threads much like Metric screw threads are. UNC: Is the symbol for Unified coarse pitch threads. UNF: Is the symbol for Unified fine pitch threads. UNEF: Is the symbol for United extra fine pitch threads.

What is the pitch for 1/8 thread?
Standard Thread Pitch Chart
| Coarse Thread Series – UNC | Fine Thread Series – UNF | |
|---|---|---|

| 7⁄8 – 9 | 0.8028 | 0.48 |
| 1-8 | 0.9188 | 0.625 |

What does the H stand for on a tap?
“H” designates the pitch diameter is on high side of basic. These two letters (GH) are followed by a numeral indicating the Tolerance of Pitch diameter oversize.
What does the H mean on a tap?
H and L limits are used for inch size ground thread taps. H (high) represents a pitch diameter that is larger than the basic pitch diameter, and L (low) represents a pitch diameter that is smaller. The number after the H or L, indicates the amount it is different than the basic pitch diameter.
Is 8 32 UNC or UNF?
Coarse and Fine Threaded Screw Information
| Size | Threads/Inch | |
|---|---|---|
| UNC | UNF | |
| 5 | 40 – | – 44 |
| 6 | 32 – | – 40 |
| 8 | 32 – | – 36 |
What is UNF fitting?
UNF threads are Unified fine pitch threads, while UNC threads are Unified coarse pitch threads. UNF and UNC thread screws are both used for fastening, but mainly applied in different fields. coarse thread has higher strength and find thread is better for sealing.
How do sewing thread sizes work?
The larger the number, the finer the thread (a 50/2 will be thinner than a 30/2). The second number indicates the number of strands, or plies, twisted together. It is obvious that a 50/3 is heavier than a 50/2 because it has three strands of a size 50 thread twisted together and the 50/2 has only two.
What are standard thread sizes?
Gender: Male or female.

What is nominal diameter of thread?
The size most commonly associated with screw threads is the nominal diameter. Nominal diameter is a more of a label than a size. For example, a bolt and nut may be described as being ½” diameter. But neither the external threads of the bolt nor the internal threads of the nut are exactly . 500 in diameter.
How to determine pipe thread type and pipe size?
