  1. Identifying Threads, Sealing Methods and Industrial Fittings

  2. Module Objectives • Explain the basic thread characteristics necessary to identify threads

  3. Module Objectives • Explain the basic thread characteristics necessary to identify threads • Differentiate between and identify various types of threads used on industrial fittings

  4. Module Objectives • Explain the basic thread characteristics necessary to identify threads • Differentiate between and identify various types of threads used on industrial fittings • Explain the various sealing methods used for the different fittings

  5. Module Objectives • Explain the basic thread characteristics necessary to identify threads • Differentiate between and identify various types of threads used on industrial fittings • Explain the various sealing methods used for the different fittings • Identify different types of fittings being used in the industrial market place

  6. Thread Characteristics

  7. Thread Characteristics Pitch • Thread pitch is the distance between a single thread

  8. Thread Characteristics Pitch: • Pitch is sometimes written as the number of threads within one inch distance • e.g. 8 threads per inch

  9. Flank Angle and Taper Angle: Thread Characteristics

  10. Thread Characteristics Crest and Root: Root Crest

  11. Thread Characteristics Major Diameter or OD:

  12. Thread Style and Function

  13. Thread Styles Port End Threads: • Parallel Parallel

  14. Thread Functions Parallel Threads: • Parallel threads only serve the function of holding in the fitting • Sealing is achieved by some other means, such as with an O-ring

  15. Thread Styles Port End Threads: • Tapered Tapered

  16. Thread Function Tapered Threads: • Tapered threads serve two functions: • For holding in the fitting • Sealing (even though sealing is usually assisted with additional sealant)

  17. Thread ID Tools

  18. Thread ID Tools • MIK-1 kit • Port Boards • Known Threads • Markings and Tables

  19. Thread ID Tools MIK-1 kit • Caliper • Thread gages • Thread profiles • Instruction booklet • Nose angle indicator

  20. Thread ID Tools MIK-1 kit • Caliper • Used to measure outside and inside diameter in either inch or metric units

  21. Thread ID Tools MIK-1 kit • Thread gages • Used to compare thread form to determine pitch

  22. Thread ID Tools MIK-1 kit • Thread profiles • Used to shadow pipe threads for determining nominal size

  23. Thread ID Tools MIK-1 kit • Nose angle indicator • Used to determine whether nose angle or seat is 37° or 45°

  24. Thread ID Tools MIK-1 kit • Instruction booklet (4303-B1) • Contains specifications for various thread forms

  25. Thread ID Tools Port Board • Used to determine male thread size based on comparison with known threads

  26. Thread ID Tools Other Known Threads • Tube nuts or other components where threads can be used for comparison

  27. Thread ID Tools Markings and Tables • In some cases, fittings are marked with a cross reference for threads • Tables can be used to identify threads based on given characteristics

  28. Identifying Threads

  29. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 1a. Verify if parallel or tapered • Visual inspection

  30. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 1b. Verify if parallel or tapered • Compare with a known parallel

  31. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 2. Determine thread pitch • Use thread gages Bad Fit Good Fit

  32. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 3a. Determine size • Measure with caliper or compare with thread profile

  33. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms 3b. Determine Size • Compare with Profile

  34. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 4. Define thread • Threads are called out according to the type of thread • They usually follow a standard pattern and this is how they may appear on a print

  35. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 4. Define thread • NPT/NPTF - American Pipe Thread • Example: 1/4-18 NPT • 1/4 = nominal size • 18 = pitch (threads per inch) • NPT or NPTF usually specified or NPT/NPTF where it does not matter if it is either one

  36. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 4. Define thread • UN/UNF - Unified (SAE Straight Thread) • Example: 9/16-18 UNF • 9/16 = actual size • 18 = pitch (threads per inch) • UN or UNF usually specified or UN/UNF where it does not matter • UNF is usually used for thread pitch above 12 TPI

  37. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 4. Define thread • BSPT- British Standard Pipe, Tapered • Example: R3/8 • R signifies tapered • 3/8 = nominal size • The pitch is usually assumed based on known standard • Japanese taper thread would be written as PT 3/8

  38. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 4. Define thread • BSPP - British Standard Pipe, Parallel • Example: G3/4 • G signifies parallel • 3/4 = nominal size • The pitch is usually assumed based on known standard • Japanese parallel thread would be written as PF 3/8

  39. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 4. Define thread • Metric Parallel • Example: M22X1.5 • M signifies metric • 22 = actual size in mm • 1.5 = pitch (distance between threads in mm)

  40. Identifying Threads Steps for Identifying Thread Forms: 4. Define thread • Metric Tapered • Example: M10X1 keg (or tapered) • M signifies metric • 10 = actual size in mm • 1 = pitch (distance between threads in mm) • keg is the abbreviation for the German word meaning tapered and if the thread is tapered, it will be specified

  41. Port End Sealing Methods

  42. Port End Sealing Methods • Female Port • O-ring in chamfer • Available with • UN/UNF (SAE J1926) • Metric (ISO 6149) • BSPP (JIS B2351)

  43. Port End Sealing Methods • O-ring in chamfer (Male end) • Most reliable form of sealing • Available in adjustable fittings • ISO 6149 has special identification

  44. Port End Sealing Methods • Female Port • Spot face sealing • Available with • Metric (DIN 3852-1) • BSPP (DIN 3852-2) • Wide variety of interchangeable male ends

  45. Port End Sealing Methods • O-ring in groove • DIN 3852 Type E • O-ring not round in cross section • Adjustable not possible • Second in pressure holding capacity

  46. Port End Sealing Methods • O-ring w/ retaining ring • DIN 3852 Type G & H • Separate metal ring surrounding o-ring • Adjustable fittings are type H

  47. Port End Sealing Methods • Bonded Seal • DIN 3852 Type D • Elastomer bonded to metal ring • Undercut on fitting has taper angle • Adjustable not possible

  48. Port End Sealing Methods • Hard metal seal • DIN 3852 • Typically used on Banjo fittings • Seals by coining surface of port • Limited reusability • Useful for extreme temperatures • Adjustable not possible

  49. Port End Sealing Methods • Soft Metal Seal • DIN 3852 Type A • Seal material usually copper • Adjustable not possible • Undercut area has taper angle

  50. Port End Sealing Methods • Cutting Face Seal • DIN 3852 Type B • Sharp edge on fitting coins spotface for sealing • Limited reusability • Adjustable not possible • Useful for extreme temperatures
