Here we provide an accurate UNC and UNF Thread Chart PDF for your reference and download, so that you can quickly understand the dimensions (size in mm) and specifications of UNC/UNF threads! UNC and UNF Thread Chart (Dimensions & Diameter Table in MM) 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. There are two main types of UTS threads: UNC (Unified National Coarse) and UNF (Unified National Fine).......

In the British Threads Standards, BSW and BSF are important standards for screw threads. Understanding BSW and BSF threads, we are going to introduce their meaning, angle, uses, differences, and dimensions along with a BSW/BSF size chart. What Is BSW Thread (Full Form)? BSW (British Standard Whitworth) is a type of screw thread standard that was devised by Joseph Whitworth in 1841 and later adopted as a British standard. BSW thread dimensions are expressed in inches. BSW refers to a coarse thread, the thread pitch increases in defined steps as the diameter increases, and peaks are......

American thread is an important fastener thread standard, in this article, we’ll explore the US thread sizes and differences between British and American threads and also show you the chart of American thread dimensions. What Is American Thread? American thread refers to screw thread standards that are used in the United States, but there are various thread standards employed in the US. Sometimes, the American thread is used interchangeably with the Imperial thread. One of the most common American thread standards is the Unified Thread Standard (UTS), which includes two main speci......

SPCC (Steel Plate Cold Commercial) and SPHC (Steel Plate Hot Commercial) materials are both classifications of commercial quality steel used for forming operations involving bending and moderate drawing, often used in the manufacturing of parts and structural components. In this blog, we will explain the properties (chemical composition and specification) and equivalent grade of SPCC and SPHC steel materials and also break down the differences between them. What is SPHC Steel Material? SPHC stands for “Hot-Rolled Mild Steel Plate/Sheet,” which is carbon steel r......
