英制螺紋系列代號說明
嚴格地說,UN、UNR、UNC、UNF、UNS以及UNEF是螺紋系列的規(guī)定代號,而不是某些英文詞組的縮寫:
統(tǒng)一螺紋:Unified Screw
Threads( 由英國(United Kingdom)、加拿大(Canada)和美國(United
States)於948年共同制定;
UN:外螺紋設計牙型根部可平可圓(A flat root contour is specified ,but it
is necessary to provide for some threading tool crest wear, hence a rounded root
contour cleared beyond the 0.25p flat width of the Basic Profile is
optional.)
UNR:外螺紋設計牙型根部必須為圓弧(In order to reduce the rate of threading tool
crest wear and to improve fatigue strength of a flat root thread, the Design
Profile of the UNR thread has a non-reversing continuous curved root tangent to
the thread flanks at a depth of 0.625 H.)
UNC:粗牙系列(Coarse-Thread
Series);
UNF:細牙系列(Fine-Thread Series);
UNEF:超細牙系列(Extra-Fine-Thread
Series);
UNS:特殊螺距系列(Selected Combinations和 Other Threads of Special
Diameters, Pitches, and Lengths of Engagement);
另外還有恒定螺距系列(Constant Pitch
