3、TIONIntroductionThread andEnd Connection TerminologyStandards are used to help identify threads and endconnections.We will use the following definitions inthis manual:Thread StandardA specific reference to a formal standard(for example,ANSI/ASME B1.1,DIN 2999,or ISO 261)whichdescribes thread form,in
4、cluding a threads angle,pitch,and diameter.End Connection StandardA specific reference to a national standard(such asDIN 3852 or JIS PT)or industry-group standard(suchas SAE J512)which describes an end connectionscomponents,seal area,geometry,and nominal sizes.Thread standards are usually referenced
5、 in the endconnection standard.Thread Standards andEnd Connection StandardsMany mechanical end connections have threads.Therefore,thread standards can be used to helpdefine end connection standards.PitchFor the purposes of this guide,pitch refers to threadsper inch,instead of the distance between th
6、e threads,for fractional screw threads and pipe threads.Forall metric screw threads,pitch refers to the distancebetween adjacent threads.5INTRODUCTIONGeneral TerminologyGeneral terms and characteristics,which apply to allend connection threads,are shown below for bothmale and female threads.Threads1

9、quality of their gauges.DetailsSTEP 1:Determine if the thread is tapered or straight(parallel).Use a caliper to measure the nominal male or femalethread crest-to-crest diameter on the first,fourth,andlast full threads.(See Figure 1.)If the diameters increase for a male end ordecrease for a female en

11、gure 2.)Measure the fourth or fifth full thread.Measure any full thread.The diameter measurement obtained in this step maynot be exactly the same as the listed nominal size forthe given thread.The main reason for this variationis industry or manufacturing tolerances.STEP 3:Determine the thread pitch
12、To determine the thread pitch,use the Swagelok pitchgauges and check the thread against each form untilyou find a match.If you prefer to narrow down thechoices,use the following procedure:a.On the appropriate thread identification referencetable,locate the nominal thread diameter.Notethat it is com
13、mon to have the thread diameterfor different threads listed multiple times.Turn to the Tapered Thread IdentificationReference Tables beginning on page 12.TSTFigure 2.Measuring the Thread DiametersLast4th1stLast4th1st8IDENTIFICATIONb.For each case,read across the table to thepitch column to determine
14、 the possible threadpitches for your thread.c.Try the appropriate pitch gauge form for thethreads identified in Step b.above until you finda match.(See Figure 3.)STEP 4:Determine the thread standard.Once you have determined the following abouta thread,you have all the information required toidentify

17、Figure 4.Determining Seat AngleIf the thread is straight:a.Locate the end connections that use thestraight thread you identified.(See pages 26through 48.)b.Study the cross-section drawings for these endconnections and determine which one matchesyour end connection.NOTE:The Swagelokcombination seat a

20、 to identify its thread.STEP 1:Determine if the thread is taperedor straight(parallel).You find that the thread is straight.STEP 2:Measure the thread diameter.You find the thread diameter to be 0.430 in.STEP 3:Determine the thread pitch.a.Since the thread is straight,turn to theStraight Thread Ident
21、ification ReferenceTable on page 14,and locate the threaddiameter.See cut-out of table below.b.Look across the table to find the correspon-ding pitches.In this case,they are 20 and24.c.Therefore,to determine the pitch of thethread you would use your 20 and 24pitch gauges.For the purposes of this exa
