Thread Thread 1 Definition The diameters,threads per inch(TPI)and thread pitch,etc.are necessary to completely identify a thread.In a shop,specialty gauges are required to accurately gauge or identify threads.In the field,in the absence of these gauges,thread leaf gauges can be used to identify the Threads Per Inch(TPI)and the thread pitch.On threads you have determined to be straight threads,a caliper can be used to measure the Outside Diameter of the Male(ODM)or the Inside Diameter of the Female(IDF).A caliper can also be used to take measurements of tapered thread diameters.However,these are more difficult to define because of the taper.Fortunately,there are few tapered threads to deal with and these can usually be identified from the nominal ODM and the TPI.However,identifying the thread may not fully identify what is needed in a mating fitting.The application is the primary limiting factor on the thread type used.We offer products with a wide variety of threads used with hose,pipe and hydraulics.When attempting to choose a fitting,it is always advisable to first identify the thread to which it must connect.This may entail checking with a fitting or equipment manufacturer.The fire hose thread specifications for some local municipal fire equipment and hydrants may vary according to local specifications.These can generally be most easily identified by contacting the local fire department responsible for the hydrant.The most common thread used on fire equipment is National Standard Thread(NST),also known as National Hose thread(NH).When it is not possible to identify the thread:1)Determine the number of threads per inch by measuring the distance from peak of thread to peak of thread across the largest number of whole threads.Then divide the number of threads by the measurement.(This will provide the TPI).2)Check to see if the thread is straight or tapered.a)Straight Threads Measure the Outside Diameter of the Male(ODM)or the Inside Diameter of the Female(IDF),from peak of thread to peak of thread.b)Tapered Threads Measure the Outside Diameter of the Male(ODM)at the large end and the small end,or the Inside Diameter of the Female(IDF)at the large end and the small end,from peak of thread to peak of thread.Then measure the Outside Diameter(OD)of the unthreaded pipe.Once the application and these two pieces of information have been determined,the thread can generally be determined.When in doubt,contact the manufacturer.Straight Thread Male Female Tapered Thread Male Female Threading InformationThreading Information

TipsThread Sealing Tips Thread Seal Type A seal is obtained by applying a sealant to the male thread before engaging.The sealant is used to prevent spiral leakage.Thread tape or paste is the preferred sealant in this type of application.Washer Seal Type A seal is obtained when the male thread is tightened down onto the washer of the female assembly.The washer should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed to prevent leakage.Mechanical Seal Type A seal is obtained through metal to metal contact or metal to seal contact,for example JIC couplings have a metal to metal seal.EZ-Boss Ground Joint couplings have a metal to seal contact(shown at left).The couplings should be retightened as needed to prevent leakage.More Thread Sealing Tips.Sealing NPT threads can be an exasperating experience if certain techniques are not followed.The following tips will help alleviate many common problems in thread sealing:1.Always use some type of sealant(tape or paste)and apply sealant to male thread only.If using a hydraulic sealant,allow sufficient curing time before system is pressurized.2.When using tape sealant,wrap the threads in a clockwise motion starting at the first thread and,as layers are applied,work towards the imperfect(vanishing)thread.If the system that the connection being made to cannot tolerate foreign matter(i.e.air systems),leave the first thread exposed and apply the tape sealant as outlined above.3.When using paste sealant,6.For sizes 2 and below,tape or paste usually performs satisfactorily.When using thread tape,four wraps(covering all necessary threads)is usually sufficient.7.For sizes 2-and above,thread paste is recommended.If thread tape is used,eight wraps(covering all necessary threads)is usually sufficient.Apply more wraps if necessary.8.For stubborn to seal threads,apply a normal coating of thread paste followed by a normal layer of thread tape.9.For extremely stubborn to seal threads,apply a normal apply to threads with a brush,using the brush to work the sealant into the threads.Apply enough sealant to fill in all the threads all the way around.4.When connecting one stainless steel part to another stainless steel part that will require future disassembly,use a thread sealant that is designed for stainless steel.This stainless steel thread sealant is also useful when connecting aluminum to aluminum that needs to be disconnected in the future.These two materials gall easily,and if the correct sealant is not used,it can be next to impossible to disassemble.5.When connecting parts made of dissimilar metals(i.e.steel&aluminum),standard tape or paste sealant usually performs satisfactorily.coating of thread paste followed by a single layer of gauze bandage followed by a normal layer of thread tape.Caution!When this procedure is done,the connection becomes permanent.Extreme measures will be necessary to disconnect these components.All other measures to seal the threads should be explored prior to the use of this technique.10.Over-tightening threads can be just as detrimental as insufficient tightening.For sizes 2 and below,hand tighten the components and,with a wrench,tighten 3 full turns.for sizes 2-and above,hand tighten the components and,with a wrench,tighten 2 full turns.2 Pipe Thread Standards Two common pipe thread standards exist:National Pipe Thread(NPT)-a tapered thread National Standard Free-Fitting Straight Mechanical Pipe Thread(NPSM)-a straight thread Less common standards also exist:Garden Hose Thread(GHT)Fire Hose Coupling(NST)British Standard Taper Pipe Thread(BSPT)Female NPT threads can be designated as FPT and male NPT threads can be designated as MPT.I have also seen female NPT threads designated as FNPT and male as MNPT.Straight Versus Tapered Threads Threaded pipe can be connected to join things together,which does not necessarily produce a leakproof seal,or they can be joined and sealed.Straight threads only provide a mechanical junction.They dont really seal.Tapered threads both join and sealThe deeper you drive them,the tighter the seal.Pipe Thread Tape Whenever you want a good seal when screwing together pipes and fittings,use pipe thread tape.This is usually made of PTFE,the most famous brand of which is Teflon.In addition to sealing,pipe thread tape also lubricates the joint,which:makes it easier to tighten it makes it easier to disassemble the joint in the future reduces/eliminates thread galling Thread galling is when threads weld themselves together.This is more common with pipes and fasteners made from alloys that protect themselves from corrosion by developing their own oxide surface film,like aluminum and stainless steel.Standard Pipe Sizes Pipe sizes do not refer to any physical dimension of modern pipe.If you measure a piece of 1/4 NPT pipe,you will have a hard time finding anything there that measures 1/4.Historical note:The sizes derive from the days when pipes were made of iron,pipe walls were rather thick,and the internal diameter(ID)was standardized.At that time,if you specified a 1/2 pipe,it had an internal diameter of 1/2,and an outer diameter that depended on the thickness of the wall.Nowadays,the standards measure the threaded part of the pipe,the outer diameter(OD).This lets thin-wall and thick-wall pipe use the same fittings.But we kept the same names,so when you say 1/2 pipe,you get a pipe whose outer diameter is the same as that of an old-fashioned iron pipe whose inner diameter was 1/2.In order to get the right size,you should measure the outer diameter(OD)of the pipe,and look it up in a table to find out what it is officially called.Its also a good idea to measure the threads per inch(TPI).The combination of OD and TPI provide positive identification of standard pipe sizes.Pipe Thread Size Threads per Inch OD Fraction(approximate)OD Decimal(actual)Normal depth for tight joint 1/16 27 5/16 0.3125 0.2611 1/8 27 13/32 0.405 0.2639 1/4 18 35/64 0.540
