    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 (https://www.engineersedge.com/screw_threads_chart.htm). 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.

    Webpage has been updated to show thread graphics sufficient for an equation.
