Abstract. In this paper we investigate the class of p-adic triangular UHF (TUHF) Banach algebras. A p-adic TUHF Banach algebra is any unital p-adic Banach algebra \cal T of the form {\cal T}=\overline{\bigcup{\cal T}_n}, where ({\cal T}_n) is an increasing sequence of p-adic Banach subalgebras of \cal T such that each {\cal T}_n contains the identity of \cal T and is isomorphic as an \Omega_p-algebra to T_{p_n}(\Omega_p) for some p_n, where T_{p_n}(\Omega_p) is the algebra of upper triangular p_n\times p_n matrices over the p-adic field \Omega_p. The main result is that the supernatural number associated to a p-adic TUHF Banach algebra is an invariant of the algebra, provided that the algebra satisfies certain local dimensionality conditions.
