Standard Thread Pitches

Thread series cover designations of diameter/pitch combinations that are measured by the Quick Links
number of threads per inch (TPI) applied to a single diameter.

Coarse Thread Series (UNC/UNRC) is the most common designation for general
application bolts and nuts. Coarse thread is beneficial, because they are less likely to cross Thread Pitch Explained
thread, more tolerant in adverse conditions and facilitate quick assembly. A193 grade B7 Thread Pitch

Fine Thread Series (UNF/UNRF) is commonly used in precision applications. Because of Rolled vs. Cut Threads
the larger tensile stress areas, they have high tension strength. However, a longer Nut Compatibility Chart
engagement is required for fine thread applications than for coarse series threads to
prevent stripping.

8 - Thread Series (8UN) is the specified thread forming method for several ASTM standards including A193 B7, A193 B8/B8M,
and A320. This series is used for diameters one inch and above.
