10. About UNJ Threads
UNJ Threads are Unified Threads used for Aircrafts.
In order to protect the breakage from thread bottom of external threads, UNJ thread defines the minor diameter larger than Unified thread and the Description of products
range of root bottom R.
And accuracy of threads is only defined in highest classes of unified threads, 3A of external threads and 3B of internal threads.
UNJ Threads were initially defined as a MIL Standard (American Millitary Standard ). It is now superseded by American SAE Standard ( Automobile
Engineers Association).
Standard Numbers are as follows:
SAE AS8879D Screw Threads - UNJ Profile, Inch
Controlled Radius Root with Increased Minor Diameter
Basic profile of UNJ thread is shown in the drawing below. Truncation on thread root of external threads is 5H/16, that is, H/16 larger than H/4 of
normal Unified Thread's truncation.
And radius of thread root is 0.18042P~0.15011P.

Bored hole size is recommended to be a little larger than that for
normal unified threads considering that the minor diameter of UNJ
series is larger than that of normal Unified Threads. unit: mm
