Pitch Diameter.
Calculate the basic pitch diameter for Unified National (UN) thread forms.
Basic Pitch Diameter
The Mathematics
The pitch diameter is the theoretical cylinder where the width of the thread and the width of the space between threads are equal.
Formula (UN 60° Form)
Pitch (P) = 1 / TPI
Pitch Dia = Major Dia - (0.649519 × P)
