Inch Screw Thread with UNJ Profi le

A thread system is available for aerospace and other applications where high fatigue strength is required. The UNJ thread form is defi ned by ASME B1.15 and is similar to Military Specifi cation MIL-S-8879. Screw thread assemblies consist of external and internal threads. In order to minimise the stress on the external UNJ thread, a controlled root radius is required that is equal to 0.15011P to 0.18042P, where P is the thread pitch. Internal UNJ threads are not required to have a radius at either the major or minor diameters.
