Talk:Unified Thread Standard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Switch
Unifed Thread Standard is not going away. It won't go away intill the US switches totaly over to metrics. Even after that it will be another 50 to 75 years untill UTS bolts and taps are stoped being produced. ISO and UTS are not interchangeable due to the smaller id on the minior dimater on the internal threads. This means that as long as there are machines in the world that are old we will still be using UTS. The 50 to 75 years for thoes machines to come totaly out of service.
