Unified and American National screw thread standards for screws, bolts, nuts, and other threaded parts consist of six series of threads and a selection of special threads that cover nonstandard combinations of diameter and pitch. In general, the unified screw threads are limited to three series : coarse(UNC), fine(UNF), and extrafine(UNEF). A 1/4-inch-diameter thread in the UNC series has 20 threads/in., while in the UNF it has 28... The extrafine thread series(UNEF and NEF) is used principally in aeronautical structures where an extremely shallow thread is needed for thin-walled material and where a maximum practicable number of threads is required for a given length. 1, record 13, English, - National%20extrafine%20thread

Unified and American National screw thread standards for screws, bolts, nuts, and other threaded parts consist of six series of threads and a selection of special threads that cover nonstandard combinations of diameter and pitch. In general, the unified screw threads are limited to three series : coarse(UNC), fine(UNF), and extrafine(UNEF). A 1/4-inch.-diameter thread in the UNC series has 20 threads/in., while in the UNF series it has 28.... The extrafine thread series(UNEF and NEF) is used principally in aeronautical structures where an extremely shallow thread is needed for thin-walled material and where a maximum practicable number of threads is required for a given length. 2, record 14, English, - Unified%20National%20Extra%2DFine%20screw%20thread

Norme BS 1580 : 1953 «Unified Screw Threads». Il s'agit des filetages cylindriques de mécanique générale, au profil ISO, mais avec les cotes en pouces. Depuis 1949, le Royaume-Uni, le Canada et les États-Unis se sont mis d'accord sur ces filetages et leur désignation : «UNC» pour «Unified coarse thread» (gros pas); «UNF» pour «Unified fine thread» (pas fin) : «UNEF» pour «Unified extra-fine» (pas extra fin); «UN» pour «Unified constant pitch» (pas constant). Ces filetages figurent [...] d'une manière plus complète dans la norme américaine ASA B1.1-1960 qui concerne les filetages unifiés. 1, record 14, French, - filetage%20UNEF
