UNC Thread Dimensions | TPI, Pitch & Diameter
Look up nominal UNC bolt threads, threads per inch and dimensional references. Keep thread series, unit system and tolerance-class requirements separate. Select the exact size/class and facing used by the order; keep the stated source units and revision with the values.
Open reference Common questionsUNC/UNRC basic geometry: ASME B1.1-2003 Table 6; UNJ design references: ASME B1.15-1995 · mm · All listed sizes
Published dimensional reference snapshot, retrieved 2026-11-11. Confirm the specified standard edition, tolerances and manufacturer drawing before manufacture or purchase. A missing value remains Not listed.
Metric dimensions are converted from the source inch values; source rounding limits precision.
The 2-1/4 in UNC size is 4.5 TPI, with all dependent dimensions corrected together. Small 0.0001 in differences retain the published B1.1-2003 table values corroborated by Optimas; they are not extra machining precision. The cited older edition is explicit. UNJ is a different root form, not an interchangeable UNC tolerance. Values are basic/design references, not manufacturing limits.
Basic thread geometry is not a tolerance-limit or gauge chart. UNC coarse pitches differ from the 8UN series often specified for larger flange studs. Confirm the actual thread series and class.

Prepare a bulk enquiry for delivery within India
Include the material grade, standard and edition, complete size, quantity, finish, certificates, required date and delivery PIN code. For valves include body/trim, seats, service fluid, temperature, end connection and actuator. For fasteners include thread, pitch, length, property class and coating.
For a village, small town or large city, give the district, nearest transport depot and unloading arrangements. Stock, suitability, freight and delivery are confirmed for each order.
Prepare your material enquiry Delivery checklistCommon questions
Are every size and class combination available?
No. The charts preserve the published combinations and label manufacturer specials or conflicts. “Not listed” is not a zero dimension and is not permission to interpolate a missing size.
Are inch fasteners interchangeable with converted metric sizes?
No. Converting an inch diameter for display does not change its thread series or fit. Order the specified thread, pitch or TPI, tolerance class, length convention and material.
What should a bulk buyer send for a quotation?
Send the exact standard and edition, grade or class, complete dimensions, quantity, finish, certification and delivery town, district and PIN code. Include the nearest transport depot for village or small-town delivery. Availability, price, freight and delivery are confirmed against your enquiry.
