The standard designation for a UTS thread is a number indicating the nominal (major) diameter of the thread, followed by the pitch measured in threads per inch.For diameters smaller than 1 / 4 inch, the diameter is indicated by an integer number defined in the standard; for all other diameters, the inch figure is given.
A screw thread is a helical structure used to convert between rotational and linear movement or force. A screw thread is a ridge wrapped around a cylinder or cone in the form of a helix, with the former being called a straight thread and the latter called a tapered thread.
Both terms mean the same thing but could be construed to be completely different items. Similarly, a male standard-density D-sub with a size 1 shell can be named DE9M or DE9P; a female standard-density D-sub with a size 2 shell can be named DA15F or DA15S; a male high-density D-sub with a size 3 shell can be named DB44M or DB44P; and so forth.
The term fine adjustment screw typically refers to screws with threads from 40–100 TPI (Threads Per Inch) (0.5 mm to 0.2 mm pitch) and ultra fine adjustment screw has been used to refer to 100–254 TPI (0.2 mm to 0.1 mm pitch). These screws are most frequently used in applications where the screw is used to control fine motion of an object.
United States Standard thread (USS thread), also known as Sellers Standard thread, [1] Franklin Institute thread [1] and American Standard thread, [2] is a standard for inch based threaded fasteners and washers. [3] The USS standard is no longer supported. It, together with the SAE fastener standard, was incorporated into the Unified Thread ...
This would be a simple table where the topic of percentage of thread was not even broached and which simply told the target user subaudience (i.e., those doing hobbyist, DIY, or non-critical garden-variety maintenance work) that, "hey, if you want a 3/8 coarse thread, drill a 5/16 hole, end of story", or, "if you want a 1/2 coarse thread, drill ...

A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by a dash or sometimes the multiplication sign, × (e.g. M8-1.25 or M8×1.25).
