@ = Constant for number of threads per inch.
Formula. D = Outside diameter.
- D, = Diameter at bottom of thread.
D,=D-C.
Example. — Given outside diameter of U. 8. F. screw thread, } inch,
20 threads per inch, find diameter at bottom of thread. Expressed
in decimals D = .500" constant for 20 threads, U. 8. F., C = .06495;
diameter at bottom of thread D, = .500" — .06495 = 43605" or prac
