Hello World Stand by for News . . . American Standard Bt.1-1949 was the first American standard to cover those Unified Thread Series agreed upon by the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States to obtain screw thread interchangeability among these three nations. These Unified Threads are now the basic American standard for fastening types of screw threads. UNF - fine thread series, this series is suitable for for production of bolts, screws, and nuts and for other applications where Course series thread is not applicable. Thread Classes - Thread classes are distinguished from each other by the amounts of tolerance and allowance. 2A and 2B - are most commonly used for general applications.
