The Unified Thread Standard (UTS) defines a standard thread form and series—along with allowances, tolerances, and designations—for screw threads commonly used in the United States and Canada. It is the main standard for bolts, nuts, and a wide variety of other threaded fasteners used in these countries.
Unified National Special; unified numbering system: Unified National Special is a subset series of the Unified Thread Standard. It is an extensible series, covering various special threads. The unified numbering system is a vaguely named standard for naming alloys by principal element percentages. UON: unless otherwise noted
Unified National Special, part of the Unified Thread Standard; Unnilseptium (Uns), temporary name of chemical element 107, bohrium (Bh) Unified numbering system, used to identify alloys; Uniform national swing, a system for predicting parliamentary seats; Universal Numbering System, a dental notation system
A screw thread is an inclined plane 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. More screw threads are produced each year than any other machine element. [1] Threads are generally produced according to one of the many standards of thread systems.
The common V-thread standards (ISO 261 and Unified Thread Standard) include a coarse pitch and a fine pitch for each major diameter. For example, 1 ⁄ 2-13 belongs to the UNC series (Unified National Coarse) and 1 ⁄ 2-20 belongs to the UNF series (Unified National Fine). Similarly, M10 (10 mm nominal outer diameter) as per ISO 261 has a ...
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 ...
National Pipe Taper Fuel (NPTF, also called Dryseal American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread, defined by ASME B1.20.3) is designed to provide a more leak-free seal without the use of PTFE tape (often referred to by the popular brand name "Teflon") or another sealant compound. NPTF threads have the same basic shape but with crest and root ...
The United States Standard thread article linked from the screw thread article claims that national coarse and unified national coarse are compatible but with tolerance differences which is kind of contradicted by the FAA document Wizard191 linked (note: I fixed his link, it seems mediawiki doesn't like spaces in urls).
