  2. Vacuum flange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_flange

    A vacuum flange is a flange at the end of a tube used to connect vacuum chambers, tubing and vacuum pumps to each other. Vacuum flanges are used for scientific and industrial applications to allow various pieces of equipment to interact via physical connections and for vacuum maintenance, monitoring, and manipulation from outside a vacuum's chamber.

  3. AN thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN_thread

    A 37° flare type end fitting for flexible hose The AN thread (also A-N ) is a particular type of fitting used to connect flexible hoses and rigid metal tubing that carry fluid. It is a US military-derived specification that dates back to World War II and stems from a joint standard agreed upon by the Army Air Corps and Navy, hence AN.

  4. National pipe thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_pipe_thread

    The standard for Nominal Pipe Size (often abbreviated NPS, which should not be confused with the abbreviation NPS for the straight thread form standard) is loosely related to the inside diameter of Schedule 40 series of sizes. Because of the pipe wall thickness of Schedule pipe, the actual diameter of the NPT threads is larger than the Nominal ...

  5. Limits and fits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_and_fits

    In mechanical engineering, limits and fits are a set of rules regarding the dimensions and tolerances of mating machined parts. Limits and Fits are given to a part's dimensions to gain the desired type of fit. This is seen most commonly in regulating shaft sizes with hole sizes. [1]

  6. British Standard Pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_Pipe

    In the modern standard metric version, it is simply a size number, where listed diameter size is the major outer diameter of the external thread. For a taper thread, it is the diameter at the "gauge length" (plus/minus one thread pitch) from the small end of the thread.

    This fitting (also known as a "bungalow fitting" or a "cottage fitting") is a sanitary tee that allows two trap arms to be connected at the same level. A toilet is the main connection, with the option of a right or left-hand outlet to the 3" inlet with a choice of 1-1/2" or 2" in size.

  9. Engineering tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    Summary of basic size, fundamental deviation and IT grades compared to minimum and maximum sizes of the shaft and hole. Dimensional tolerance is related to, but different from fit in mechanical engineering, which is a designed-in clearance or interference between two parts.
