Thread• Helical ridge of uniform section formed on inside
or outside of cylinder or cone Used for several purposes:
• Fasten devices such as screws, bolts, studs, and nuts
• Provide accurate measurement, as in micrometer
• Transmit motion• Increase force

Screw thread• Helical ridge of uniform section formed on inside
or outside of cylinder or cone External thread
• Cut on external surface or cone Internal thread
• Produced on inside of cylinder or cone

Major DiameterCommonly known as the outside diameter . On a screw thread, the major diameter is the largest diameter of the thread on the screw or nut.

Minor DiameterCalled the root diameter, the minor diameter is the smallest diameter of the thread on the screw or nut.

Pitch diameter• Diameter of imaginary cylinder that passes
through thread at point where groove and thread widths are equal
• Equal to major diameter minus single depth of thread
• Tolerance and allowances given at pitch diameter line

Number of ThreadsThe number of threads per inch.

Pitch The distance from a given point on one thread to a corresponding point on the very next thread

LeadThe distance a screw thread advances in one revolution. • The lead and the pitch of a single lead thread
are the same. • On double lead threads, the lead is twice the
pitch. A double lead thread has two start points.

which nut is threaded in clockwise direction When cut on lathe, toolbit
advanced from right to left

Coarse Thread Series UNCThe one most commonly used in the mass production of bolts, screws, nuts and other general fastening applications. Less of a tendency for cross-threading than fine threads.It is also used on quick assembly or disassembly, or if corrosion or slight damage is possible.

Fine Thread Series UNFWhen used on external threads have greater tensile stress area than coarse threads of the same size. Resists stripping out better than coarse threads in areas where the external and mating internal threads are subjected to loads equal to or greater than the capacity of the screw or bolt.
Used were the length of engagement is limited

Fit• Relationship between two mating parts• Determined by amount of clearance or
interference when they are assembled Nominal size
• Designation used to identify size of part Actual size
• Measured size of thread or part• Basic size: size from which tolerances are set

Variation permitted in part size Total tolerance is sum of plus and minus
tolerances In Unified and National systems, tolerance is
plus on external threads and minus on internal threads

¼-20 UNC 2AIn this particular case the class of fit would be a 2. The symbol A indicates an external thread.
¼-28 UNF 3BIn this particular case the class of fit would be a 3. The symbol B indicates an internal thread.
