Metric Screw Threads: M Profile: V Thread Form ASME B1.15-1995 (R2003) Unified Inch Screw Threads (UNJ Thread Form) V Thread Form ASME B1.20.1-2013: Pipe Threads, General Purpose (Inch) Pipe Thread Form ANSI B1.20.3-1976 (R2013) Dryseal Pipe Threads (Inch) Pipe Thread Form ASME B1.20.7-1991 (R2013) Hose Coupling Screw Threads - Inch: Pipe ...
Example (inch, coarse): For size 7 ⁄ 16 (this is the diameter of the intended screw in fraction form)-14 (this is the number of threads per inch; 14 is considered coarse), 0.437 in × 0.85 = 0.371 in. Therefore, a size 7 ⁄ 16 screw (7 ⁄ 16 ≈ 0.437) with 14 threads per inch (coarse) needs a tap drill with a diameter of about 0.371 inches.
the thread size; Threads are normally right-hand. For left-hand threads, the letters, LH, are appended. Example: Pipe thread EN 10226 Rp 2 + 1 ⁄ 2. The terminology for the use of G and R originated from Germany (G for gas, as it was originally designed for use on gas pipes; R for rohr, meaning pipe.)
Class 1 threads are loose fit, intended for ease of assembly or use in a dirty environment. Class 2 threads are free fit, and the most common. They are designed to maximize strength considering typical machine shop capability and machine practice. Class 3 threads are medium fit, still quite common and used for closer tolerances on high quality ...
A close nipple can only be unscrewed by gripping one threaded end with a pipe wrench which will damage the threads and necessitate replacing the nipple, or by using a specialty tool known as a nipple wrench (or known as an internal pipe wrench) which grips the inside of the pipe, leaving the threads undamaged. When the ends are of two different ...
In oil field tubing, buttress thread is a pipe thread form designed to provide a tight hydraulic seal. The thread form is similar to that of Acme thread [10] but there are two distinct threaded portions of differing diameters and profiles, the larger having a wedging profile, with a tapered sealing portion in between the larger and smaller diameters.
Therefore, a -8 AN size would be equal to 1 ⁄ 2-inch OD tube. However, this system does not specify the ID (inside diameter) of the tubing because the tube wall can vary in thickness. Each AN size also uses its own standard thread size. AN fittings are a flare fitting, using 37° flared tubing to form a metal-to-metal seal.
A nut with an integral free spinning washer; assembly is easier because the washer is captive. Self-aligning washer A two-part washer: one part has one convex spherical surface, which mates with a concave surface on the other part, to allow tightening to a surface which is not perpendicular to the axis of the screw or nut fastener, in a similar ...
