Bolts and Nuts For Flanges

The document discusses threads of stud bolts. It explains that bolts use symmetrical V-profile threads with a 60 degree included angle as defined in ASME standards. These symmetrical threads are easier to produce and inspect than non-symmetrical threads. Thread series refer to diameter/pitch combinations measured in threads per inch and include coarse, fine, and 8-thread series used for different applications and material strengths.

Threads of Stud Bolts

Bolts threading are defined in ASME B1.1 Unified Inch Screw Threads, (UN and UNR
Thread Form). The most common thread is a symmetrical form with a V-profile. The
included angle is 60°. This form is widely used in the Unified thread (UN, UNC, UNF,
UNRC, UNRF) form as the ISO / metric threads.
The advantage of a symmetrical threads is that they are easier to produce and inspect
compared with non-symmetrical threads. These are typically used in general-purpose
fasteners.
Thread series cover designations of diameter/pitch combinations that are measured by
the number of threads per inch (TPI) applied to a single diameter.

STANDARD THREAD PITCHES

• Coarse thread series (UNC/UNRC) is the most widely used thread system and
applied in most of the screws, bolts and nuts. Coarse threads are used for
threads in low strength materials such as iron, mild steel, copper and softer alloy,
aluminium, etc.. The coarse thread is also more tolerant in adverse conditions
and facilitate quick assembly.
• Fine thread series (UNF/UNRF) is commonly used in precision applications and
in there where require a higher tensile strength than the coarse thread series.
• 8 - Thread series (8UN) is the specified thread forming method for several ASTM
standards including A193 B7, A193 B8/B8M, and A320. This series is mostly
used for diameters one inch and above.
