How do you read thread size in UNF?

Use the first number to figure out the diameter of the threads.

1. For example, on a #4-40 UNC-3A x . 5 screw, #4 represents the diameter.
2. The diameter is sometimes listed as a fraction, such as ¼. It has a diameter of 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm).
3. To help decipher the number ratings, look up a conversion chart online.

Is UNF the same as NPT?
