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 2, English, - Unified%20National%20Extra%2DFine%20screw%20thread

The unified thread form accompanied by the unified thread standards has in the past fulfilled the necessary requirements for interchangeability of threaded products between the United States, Great Britain, and Canada. This modified thread form represented two compromises between British Whitworth and United Stated National thread forms. The British accepted the 60° thread angle of the American thread, and the Americans accepted a rounded root and crest similar to the Whitworth form. The United States National unified form for external threads has a rounded root and may have either a rounded or flat crest. The unified thread contours provide advantages over both the earlier forms .... The unified thread is a general-purpose thread that is particularly suited for fasteners. 1, record 4, English, - unified%20thread

In the Unified and American National standards, the coarse thread series (UNC and NC) is recommended for general industrial use on threaded machine parts and for screws and bolts. Because a coarse thread has fewer threads per inch than a fine thread of the same diameter, the helix angle is greater, and the thread travels farther in one turn. A coarse thread is preferred when rapidity and ease of assembly are desired, and where strength and clamping power are not of prime importance. 3, record 6, English, - American%20National%20Coarse%20Thread
