Unit 17 Representing and Dimensioning External Screw Threads

 Profile of Unified and the American National Threads

Thread form-refers to shape U.S. Standard, American National, and Unified Threads National Screw Thread Commission, American Standards Association, U.S. Standards Institute

 Profile of Unified and the American National Threads

Unified (UN) American National (N) Crest-shape of the top of the thread Root-shape of the bottom of the thread

Sharp - V Unified UN American Standard N 60 Stub ASME Straight Pipe Threads NPS ASME Taper Pipe Threads- NPT

 Other Common Thread Forms

Square threads-transmits great power of force ACME thread-included angle of 29 Buttress thread-transmit power in one direction

 Thread Series
Standard number of threads per inch Thread series
Fine Coarse

Thread Series
1. 2. 3. 4. Coarse-UNC and UNCR Fine-UNF, UNRF and NF Extra fine-UNEF, UNERF, and NEF Nonstandard or special threads-UNS(American National Standard Special Series) 5. Constant pitch series-fixed number of threads for range of diameters

 Representing External Screw Threads

Two basic types
1. External threads 2. Internal threads

Representation
1. Pictorial 2. Schematic 3. Simplified
