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.
Pitch and TPI describe the same underlying physical property—merely in different terms. When the inch is used as the unit of measurement for pitch, TPI is the reciprocal of pitch and vice versa. For example, a 1 ⁄ 4-20 thread has 20 TPI, which means that its pitch is 1 ⁄ 20 inch (0.050 in or 1.27 mm).

A typical lag screw can range in diameter from 4 to 20 mm or #10 to 1.25 in (4.83 to 31.75 mm), and lengths from 16 to 200 mm or 1 ⁄ 4 to 6 in (6.35 to 152.40 mm) or longer, with the coarse threads of a wood-screw or sheet-metal-screw threadform (but larger).
Example (metric fine): For M7.0×0.5, major minus pitch yields 6.5, which at 92.9% happens to be an example that pushes over the outer bound of the 90% ± 2 pp, but major minus pitch is still valid, although smaller drills (6.3 mm, 1 ⁄ 4, 6.4 mm) will work well.
Includes Unified Coarse (UNC), Unified Fine (UNF), and Unified Extra Fine (UNEF) threads. [11] Thread sizes are denoted by a number or fractional diameter (e.g., 1/4-20 UNC, where "1/4" is the diameter in inches and "20" indicates 20 threads per inch). British Standard Whitworth (BSW)

From 1 ⁄ 4 in up to 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in, thread pitch is the same in both systems except that the thread pitch for the 1 ⁄ 2 in bolt is 12 threads per inch (tpi) in BSW versus 13 tpi in the UNC. Thread form
