I have been asked so many times "What is
the difference between UN and NS threads?", that I thought I would address it here. THE SHORT ANSWER is the form is the same for either, the only difference lies in the tolerances or range of pitch diameters in classes of fit. THE LONG ANSWER (taken from Machinery's Handbook) is: American Standard was the first American standard to cover those Unified thread Series agreed upon by the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States to obtain screw thread interchangeability among these three nations. These Unified threads are now the basic American standard for fastening types of screw threads. In relation to previous American practice, unified threads have substantially the same thread form and are mechanically interchangeable with the former American National threads of the same diameter and pitch. The principal differences between the two systems lie in: (1) the application of allowances; (2) the variation of tolerances with size; (3) difference in amount of pitch diameter tolerance on external and internal threads; and (4) differences in thread designation. In the Unified system an allowance is provided on both the Classes 1A and 2A external threads whereas in the American Nation System only the Class 1 external thread has an allowance. Also, in the Unified system the pitch diameter tolerance of an internal thread is 30 per cent greater than that of the external thread, whereas they are equal in the American National System. Bottom line is 1/2-13 UNC screw with a pitch diameter of 0.4510, is the same as a 1/2-13 NS screw with a pitch diameter of 0.4510.
