Practical notes
Unified threads are named diameter–TPI–series: 3/4-16 UNF is a 3/4 nominal diameter with 16 threads per inch in the fine series.
These are basic (zero-tolerance) dimensions. Most screws are made to class 2A and nuts to 2B (ASME B1.1), so measured sizes sit slightly below the basic values on the screw.
16 TPI is a pitch of 1.59 mm, which does not match a metric ISO pitch exactly; metric and Unified fasteners of similar size are not interchangeable.
Tensile stress area As is the area used for bolt strength (proof load = As × proof stress for the SAE J429 or ASTM grade). For 3/4-16 UNF it is 0.3730 in².
FAQ
How many threads per inch is 3/4-16 UNF?
16 TPI, a pitch of 0.0625 in (1.59 mm), in the Unified fine series (ASME B1.1).
What is the minor diameter of 3/4-16 UNF?
The basic minor diameter of the internal thread is D − 1.082532/n = 0.6823 in (17.33 mm).
What is the tensile stress area of 3/4-16 UNF?
As = 0.7854 × (D − 0.9743/n)² = 0.3730 in² (241 mm²).
What tap drill does 3/4-16 UNF need?
The standard chart drill is 11/16", 0.6875 in (17.46 mm), about 77% thread.
What is the difference between 3/4-16 UNF and 3/4-10 UNC?
Same 3/4 diameter, different pitch: 16 TPI versus 10 TPI. They are not interchangeable.
