9/16-24 UNEF Thread Dimensions
9/16-24 UNEF is a extra fine Unified National Extra Fine thread. There are 24 threads per inch on a 0.5626 in major diameter, giving a metric-equivalent pitch of 1.058 mm. The recommended tap drill leaves roughly 75% thread engagement.

How these values are derived
computed from the basic profileThese figures follow the Unified basic profile of ASME B1.1. A 60° basic profile uses a fundamental triangle height H = 0.866025 × P, with external minor diameter d₃ = d − 1.226869 × P and internal minor diameter D₁ = d − 1.082532 × P; the two differ because the external root is rounded while the internal crest is truncated. A 55° Whitworth profile uses H = 0.960491 × P and a thread height of 0.640327 × P. The recommended tap drill is given as nominal diameter minus pitch, which approximates 75% thread engagement — adjust it for tough materials or deep holes.
