Calculating UN thread minor diameter
Hi guys,
I've been looking for a formula to calculate the minor diameter section area for UN(UNC, UNF & UNEF) spec screws to calculate the area mentioned in Table 8.1.5 of MIL-HDBK-5J however none of the formulae mentioned in ASME B1.1 or Handbook H-28 seem to work. After scouting around online I came across the table provided here in EngineersEdge ([URL]https://www.engineersedge.com/screw_threads_chart.htm[/URL]). using the diameters mentioned in this table I was able to obtain the areas mentioned in MIL-HDBK-5J.
Could someone from the EngineersEdge community provide me a set of equations to calculate the minor dia of UN spec threads from the nominal dia and thread TPI.
Cheers.
