The American Gas Association and The American Society of Mechanical Engineers served a8 joint sponsors. After six years of work, this committee completed the revised standard for taper pipe thread which was published in the ASME “Transactions” of 1919, and ‘was approved as an American Standard by the then American Engineering Standards Committee (later changed to American Standards Association) in December, 1919. It was the first standard to receive this designation under the ASA procedure, and was lator republished in pamphlet form. In the years which followed, the neod fora further revision of this American Standard became as woll as the necessity of adding to it the recent dovelopments in pipe threading practice. Accordingly, the Sectional Committee on the Standardization of Pipe Threads, B2, was organized in 1927 under the joint sponsorship of the A.G.A. and the ASME. During the following 15 years, several meetings were held loading to approval by the members of the Sectional Committee, of the April 1941 draft. The revision was approved by the sponsors and ASA and published as an American Standard in October 1942, Shortly after publication of the 1942 standard, the Committee undertook preparation of a complete revision. The text and tables were re-arranged and expanded to include Dryseal pipe threads, and an exten- sive appendix was added to provide additional data on the application of pipe threads and to record in abbreviated form the several special methods which were established for gaging some of the various applica- tions of pipe threads The resulting proposal was designated an American Standard on December 11, 1945. The section covering Dryseal Pipe Threads in ASA B2.1-1945 was deleted and developed as a separate standard desig- nated ASA B2.2-1960, Dryscal Pipe Threads. Another updating occurred with republication as USAS B2.2- 1968, In 1973, Standards Committee B2 was absorbed by American National Standards Institute Standard Committee Bi and reorganized as subcommittee 20. A complete rewrite of the B2.2-1968 document was undertaken with the product thread data in separate documents from the gaging standards for Dryseal Pipe ‘threads. The system of renumbering, to include metric revisions, is as follows: ANSIBI.203-1976 Inch Dryseal Pipe Threads ANSIBI204-1976 Metric Dryseal Pipe Threads ANSI BI-20.5-197 Gaging for Inch Dryseal Pipe Threads ANSIBI.20.6-197 Gaging for Metric Dryseal Pipe Threads Since the product thread documents are being published before completion of the new gaging stan- dards, the gaging data in the B2.2-1968 Standard should be used until superseded by publication of the new B1.20.5 and B1.20.6 gaging standards. ANSI B1.20.3 and B1,20.4 were approved by ANSI Committee BI for publication as official ANSI Standards and thereupon submitted to the Secretariat and the American National Standards Institute. They ‘were approved and formally designated as American National Standards on November 18, 1976,ASHE B1.20.3 7b MM 2595512 0011876 4 mm AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS COMMITTEE B1 Standardization and Unification of Screw Threads (the following i the roster of the Committe a time of approval ofthis standard) Organized... eee sees = June, 1921 Reorganized... eee vee e ce eee.

To accomplish this some modifi- cation of thread form and greater accuracy in manu facture is required. The roots of both the external and intemal threads are truncated slightly more than the crests, ie. roots have wider flats than cress, so that metal-to-metal contact occurs at the crests and roots coincident with or prior to flank contact, see Figure 1. ‘Thus as the threads are assembled by ‘wrenching, the roots of the threads crush the sharper crests of the mating threads, This sealing action at both tho major and minor diameters tends to prevent spiral leakage and makes the joints pressuretight with ‘out the necessity of using sealing compounds, provided that the mating threads are in ecvordance with stan- dard specifications and tolerances and are not dam- aged by galling in assembly. Tho control of crest and root truncation is simplified by tho use of properly designed threading tools. Also, itis desirable that both ‘oxternal and internal threads have full thread height for the Ly length. However, where not funetionally objectionable, the use of a compatible lubricant or sealant may be used to minimize the possibility of galling. This is desirable in assembling Dryseal pipe threads in refrigeration and other systems to effect a pressuretight seal.! 1.1.1 In order to obtain a pressure tight seal using Dryseal pipe threads without a sealer, it is necessary to hold crest and root truncation of both internal and external threads within the limits specified. Unless this is done by use of threading tools with the crest and root truncation controlled so as to assure repro- "The roflgeration industry hus gonorally accopted tho use of ‘Mfeaiant to oblain an absolute preituretisht Joint, wien “ssembling taper pipe threads. duction on the product threads, itis necessary to use a system of measuring or a system of gaging and mea- suring to determine conformance. 1.1.2 Bven without truncation gages, the standard practice of using two separate thread gages forDryseal pipe threads, each with a difference in truncation, length of engagement and point of engagement, pro: vides more detailed check of angle, lead and taper doviations than is required for non-dryseal taper pipe threads. 1.4.3 One method of checking crest truncation is by using 6 step plain gages. It should be recognized that this method may give misleading results in that the crest truncation of tho product threads is always less (at narrower) than that indicated by the position of the gages, the degree of inconsistency depending on the angle, ead and taper deviations present in the product thread. 1.4.4 Another method employs both crest and root truncation check gages. The root check gage is made with a thread form having an included angle of 50 grees and with a smaller gage crest flat than the root flat to be checked. The major diameter of this sage is controlled in relation to 6 gaging steps in a similar manner to the plain 6 step erest check gage. Like the crest check gage, the results may be some. what misleading except that in the case of the root chock gage, the root truncation of the product thread is always more (flat wider) than is indicated by the position of the gages. 1.1.8 Unless lead, angle and taper of product threads are vety well controlled, use of 6 step crest and root check gages will result in product threads with nar- rower crest flats and wider root flats than envisioned by the dryseal tolerances. Use of such a gaging system could result in rejection of threads which would ac- tually conform to the dryseal tolerances specified. ‘The only completely reliable referee mothod for deter- mining whether crest and root truncation has beASME B1-20-3 7b Mm@ 2595512 0021885 1 mw AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INCH ORYSEAL PIPE THREADS held within tolerance is direct measurement of the ex ternal thread flats and measurement of these flats on 2 cast or section of the internal thread, 1.1.6 This standard covers two classes of NPTF Dry- seal pipe threads; Class 1 and Class 2, The classes differ only in inspection requirements, with Class 1 threads exactly those standardized in ANSI B2.2-1968 (in- spection of root and crest truncation not specified). Class 2 threads are identical to Class 1 threads exeopt that inspection of root and crest truncation is re- quited. For Class 2 threads, direct measurement of crest and root truncation is the referee mothod, These classes do not apply to other than NPTF Dryseal pipe threads, 1.1.7 All dimensions in this standard including all tables are in inches unless otherwise noted. NOCLEARANCE ~ (Basic) MOMMY TWIERNAL THREAD, NO CLEARANCE (Basic) ‘ANSI 81,20.3-1976 4.2 Thread Types Extemal Dryseal pipe threads are tapered only. In- ternal Dryseal pipe threads may be either straight or tapered, a specified. Also, thread lengths may be either “standard” or “short,” depending on the re- quirements of the application. The short external thread is obtained by shortening the standard thread by one pitch at the small end, A short internal taper thread is obtained by shortening the standard thread by one pitch at the large end. Accordingly, there are four standard types of Dryseal pipe threads, as follows: ‘Type 1 ~ Dryseal USA (American) Standard Taper ipe Thread, NPTF ‘Type 2 — Dryseal SAE Short Taper Pipe Thread, PTE-SAE SHORT ‘Type 3 ~ Dryseal USA (American) Standard Fuel Internal Straight Pipe Thread, NPSF ‘Type 4 — Dryseal USA (American) Standard Inter mediate Internal Straight Pipe Thread, NPSI MAXIMUM INTERFERENCE (AXIMUM MATERIAL, CONDITION MAXIMUM INTERFERENCE Drovido tho maxnum interference, NOTE: When threaded joint are made up wrenchtight, ‘the direction of interference only, therefore the maximum matecil fou a the ight i estabised by having the ext {a Intended thatthe Manis and the oteste and roots sh 1 combinstion of sharpot crests and fattest root, witch FIG 1.

Two classes of NPTF threads have been established: Class 1 and Class 2, Class 1 signifies that specific inspection of root and crest truncation is not required, while class 2 signifies that such is required. Since class notation is introduced in this standard there will undoubtedly be a long period of time be- fore users completely adopt the new classification. Ia cases where class is not denoted, the thread shall bo considered Class 1 1.3.2 Designation of Plated Threads. The product specifications of this standard do notinclude an allow- ance for plating. If plating is desired, it may be neces- sary to modify the threads since the same final gaging requirements must be satisfied for plated and un- plated parts. This may be emphasized by adding the words AFTER PLATING to the designation, For ‘manufacturing purposes, notes for plated taper pipe threads may specify the gage limits (turns engagoment) before plating followed by tho words “BEFORE PLATING.” These should be followed by the stan- dard gage limits (tus engagement) after plating and the words “AFTER PLATING,” Examples of optional designations for an external thread having 0.0002 inch plating thickness are: %-18 NPTF-1, or -18 NPTF-1 AFTER PLATING, or %-18 NPTF-1, L RING GAGE LIMITS 2% to 4% tums engagement before plating 2% to 4% turns engagement after plating p18 NPTP-1, Ly RING GAGE LIMITS 2% to 3¥ turms beyond actual Ly gage turns en- ‘agement before and after plating. ‘ANSI 81.20.-1976 Example of optional designations for internal thread with 0.0002 inch plating thickness i: %-18 NPTE-1, or 4-18 NPTE-1 AFTER PLATING, or %-18 NPTP-1, L, PLUG GAGE LIMITS 3 to 4% turns engagement before plating 2% to 4¥ turns engagement after plating %y-18 NPTP-1, Ly PLUG GAGE LIMITS 2% to 3% turns beyond actual Ly gage turns en: ‘agement bofore and after plating ‘14 Applications 14.1 Type 1.4.1.1 NPTF. This typo applios to both external and internal threads and is suitable for pipe joints in practically every type of service. OF all Dryseal pipe threads, NPTF extemal and internal threads mated are generally conceded to be superior for strength and seal since they have the longest length of thread and theoretically, interference (sealing) occurs at every en- ‘aged thread root and crest. Use of tapered internal threads, such as NPTF or PTF-SAB SHORT in hard or brittie materials having thin sections will minimize the possibility of fracture, 1.4.1.2 PTF-SAE Short. External threads of this type conform in all respects with NPTF threads, ex- cept that the thread length has been shortened by eliminating one thread from the small entering) end. ‘These threads are designed for applications where clearance is not sufficient for the full thread length of NPTF threads or for economy of material, where the full thread length is not necessary. PTF-SAB SHORT extemal threads are intended for assembly with NPSL threads, but may also be assembled with NPTF in- ‘temal threads. They are not designed for and at ex: treme tolerance limits may not assemble with PTF- SAE SHORT internal or NPSF thread. Internal threads of this type conform in all respects with NPTF threads, except that the throad longth has bbeen shortened by eliminating one thread from the large (entry) end. These throads are designed for thin ‘materials where thickness is not sufficient for the full, thread length of NPTF threads or for economy in tap- ping where the full thread length is not necessary. PTE-SAE SHORT intemal threads are primarily in- tended for assembly with NPTF external threads, ‘They are not designed for and atthe extreme tolerance limits may not assemble with PTF-SAE SHORT ex- ‘temal threads, Pressure-tight joints without the use of lubricant for sealer can best be assured whore mating com- ponents are both threaded with NPTF threads, ThisASME 81.20-3 7b MM 2595512 0011887 5 mm AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INCH DRYSEAL PIPE THREADS should be considered before specifying PTR-SAR SHORT external or internal threads. 1.4.1.3 NPSF. Threads of this type are straight (cylindrical) instead of tapered and intemal only. ‘They.are more economical to produce than tapered internal threads, but when assembled do not offer as, strong a guaranteo of sealing since root and crest in- terforence will not occur forall threads, NPSF threads are generally used with soft or ductile materials which will tend to adjust at assembly to the taper of external threads, but may be used in hard or brittle ‘materials whore the section is thick. They are primarily intended for assembly with NPTF extemal threads (For other applications see Appendix C.) 1.4.14 NPSI. Threads of this type are straight (cylindrical) instead of tapered, internal only, and are slightly larger in diameter than NPSF threads but have the same tolerance and thread length, They are more economical to produce than tapered threads and may be used in hard or brittle materials where the section is thick or where there is little expansion at assembly with external tapor threads. As with NPSF threads, NPSI threads when assembled do not offer as strong a guarantee of sealing as do tapered in- ternal threads. NPSI threads are primarily intended for assembly with PTF-SAE SHORT external threads, but can be used with NPTF external threads, 1.4.2 Class 1.4.2.1 NPTF Class 1. Threads made to this class are designed to interfere (seal) at root and crest when ‘mated, but inspection of crest and root truncation for acceptance is not required. Consequently, Class 1 tlureads are intended for applications where close con- {rol of tooling is required for conformance of trunce tion or where sealing is accomplished by means of a sealant applied to the threads, 1.4.2.2 NPTF Class 2. Threads made to this class aro theoretically identical to those made to Class 1, however, inspection of root and crest truncation is re- quired. Consequently, where a sealant is not used, there is more assurance of a pressure-tight seal for (Class 2 thieads than for Class 1 threads. 1.5 Assombly Limitations 1.8.1 As described in par. 1.2, hore aro four types of standaed Dryseal pipe threads. Types 1 a ANSI 81.203-1976 ‘tapored and can be made as both oxternal and internal threads. Types 3 and 4 are straight threads and are ‘made only as internal threads. When selecting the combination of external and internal threads to be ‘mated, Table 1 should be used as guideline, Approxi- ‘mate values for length of engagement for various as somblies are given in Table 2 1.8.2 Another important factor to consider in the design and manufacture of Dryseal pipe threads is the effect of out-of-roundness which is possible between the wrench-tight mated parts in final assembly. This will vary depending on the method for producing the ‘thread in conjunction with the elasticity and/or duc- tility of the mating parts and the resultant confor- ‘mance at final assembly. 1.6 Thread Form and Tolerance Dryseal pipe threads are triangular with truncated roots and crests. The angle between the flanks of the thread is 60 degrees when measured on an axial plane and the line bisecting this angle is perpendicular to the axis of both the taper and straight threads making cach half angle equal to 30 degrees, Thread form and limits on erest and root truncation are given in Figure 2. Although the erests and roots of the Drysoal threads are theoretically flat, they may be rounded providing their contour is within the limits shown in Figure 2. ‘They are truncated parallel to the pitch line on both product and gage threads. ‘There is no specified tolerance on product pitch diameter, except for internal straight pipe threads, Basic size of the product thread is defined using the basic dimensions covered in paragraph 1,7 and devia- tions from basic size not defined by a specific toler ance are defined entirely by the gages used for ac- ceptance.
