On this page about Unified Thread Standard:
The Unified Thread Standard (UTS) defines a standard thread form and series – along with allowances, tolerances, and designations – for screw threads commonly used in the United States and Canada. It has the same 60° profile as the ISO metric screw thread used in the rest of the world, but the characteristic dimensions of each UTS thread (outer diameter and pitch) were chosen as an inch fraction rather than a round millimeter value. The UTS is currently controlled by ASME/ANSI in the United States.
