Thread Designations 1.2.1 The types of pipe threads included in this Standard are designated by specifying in sequence the nominal pipe size," number of threads per inch and tho thread series symbol as follows 3/8 - 18 NPT. 1/8 -27 NPSC 1/2-14NPTR 1/8 -27 NPSM 1/8 -27 NPSL 1-15 NPSH For left hand threads add LH to the designation, otherwise right hand threads will be understood. For example: 3/8 - 18 NPT - LH 1.2.2 Bach of those letters in the symbols has definite significance as follows: N = National (American) Standard P = Pipe ‘7 = Taper = Coupling S = Straight M = Mechanical L = Locknut H = Hose Coupling R = Railing Fittings hore it is nacossry to use decimal notation forthe size designation (es when inserting such in a computer ox eloc- ‘uonle sczounting machine) the decinal equivalent of nom {nal pipe size may be substituted for fractional pipe sles.

The threaded product specifications covered in this Standard do ‘not include an allowanee for coatings or plating, 1.3 Sealing 1.3.1. Where pressuce-tight joints are required, itis intended that taper pipe threads conforming to this Standard be made up wrench-tight with a sealant. To prevent galling on certain piping materials such as stainless steels, the sealant usually containsa lubricant. 1.8.2 Pipe threads designed for pressuro-tight joints that may be used without sealing compounds (Dryseal Threads) are covered in ANSI B1.20.3 (Inch) and ANSI B1.20.4 (Metric Translation). 1.4 Inspection A gaging method and tolorancos aro proscribed in this Standard to effect a functional inspection of the hhandtight L1 ongagoment threads. However, con- formano to this Standard requires that all’ basic design dimonsions be met (within applicable toler ances) including extension of the thread clements to provide for wronch-tight makeup. Therefore, addi- tional methods of gaging may be employed to evaluate conformance to the basic design dimensio When additional methods of gaging are employed, thoy shall be agreed upon by the supplier and the purchaser. 1.5 Appendix Useful and supplementary information which is ‘not a patt of this Standard is presented in the Appen- ix, Specifically, the Appendix gives Suggested Twist Dill Diameters for Drilled Hole Sizes for Pipe Threads, 1.6 Related Standard Definitions of terms and symbols for thread di- mensions are given in ANSI B1.7, Nomenclature, Definitions and Letter Symbols for Screw Threads.ASNE B1-20-1 83 MM 2595512 0013850 4 mm AN AMERIC: PIPE THRED SRAL, PURPOSE (INCH) ANSWASHE 81.20.1-1983 2> 8 os os Sump jo ade a 30 pete urpo‘poe Aero 9 ust soaid yop 2 Sra enn some funny pu mojo pu na 8g nd spurs ote Sexiury ajo stem 64 (4) 3 Lon 8 3 were Josooo | aca0 [oro “000 [eca09] «eave |vo00] evo | sieean | oon 7 z orev | 100-9 cova ss0r0| otzv0 | eza0%0| eeeo. | tezso | css00 su a toc |ssoc0 ovo ssov0| abave | seae0| oee0% | tzosoe | sso i 2 ge00'0 | Ls00'0 }6»00'0| dss00 | st00°0 aL z izove | treo ya |se000| evo | e100 & ar oe T 1 ceo RIF | cae | A BREE | | nae fa ama a anupen | we amen | aera 7 “ en sober rrr 2 421) 381d 40 \BpIAA wuoJEAINDS (YW) vonesuna, Peena sou a 3 dN ‘SOWAMHL Jala Hav TWHUALNI ONY TWNUALXS / 3 GUVANYAS TYNOLLVN NVOIUSHIV 40 NOLLVONNWL LOOU GNY 18389 NOSLINIT 1 aTa¥L 8 SA % S \« ° )2 MS a ~S \ A | 5 WN ~ a wee a ASME BL-20-% 83 ‘AN AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD PIPE THREADS, GENERAL PURPOSE (INCH) Cop b the Americ Sacly Of Mecorcel Engrees atASME BL-20-) 83 MM 2595512 OOLL8S2 6 Mm ‘AN AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD PIPE THREADS, GENERAL PURPOSE (INCH) GENERAL NoTe: tntermat The [ANSW/ASME 81,20.1-1983 ae Ce ivartoranee When threaded joint are made up wranch ight with ubreant or eaer i ie ntended thatthe flank shall bein contact, FIG.2.

The product specifications of this Standard donot include an allowance for plating If plating is desired, it may be necessary to modify the threads since the same final oping requirements must be satisfied for plated and unplated pars. 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 or threads engagement) before plating followed by the words BEFORE PLATING.

The basic length of the effective external taper thread L, is determined by the following formula based on the outside diameter ofthe pip andthe pitch ofthe thre 1 = (80D + 6.8) 1/n = (0.80D +6.8)p where D = outside diameter of pipe n= threads per inch ‘This formula determines directly the length of effective thread which includes two usable threads slightly incomplete atthe crest. 3.1.7 Engagement Betweon’ External and Internal ‘Taper Threads, The normal length of engagement between external and internal taper threads when screwed together handtight is shown in col. 6, Table 2. This length is controlled by the construction and use of the gages. It is recognized that in special applications, such as flanges for high pressure work, longer thread engagement is used, in which case the pitch diameter (dimension i , Table 2) is maintained and the pitch diameter Eo at the end of the pipe is proportionately smaller. 3.18 Basic Dimensions, The basic dimensions of taper pipe threads, derived from the above specifica- tions, are given in Table 2. All dimensions are given in inches unless otherwise specified. 32 Tolerances 3.2.1 Manufacturing Tolerance on Product. The maximum allowable deviation in the commercial product is one turn large or small from gages made to the basic dimensions. See 8.2 and 8.3. 3.22 Tolerances on Thread Elements. The permis- sible deviations in thread elements are given in Table 3. This table is a guide for establishing limits of the thread clements of taps, dies, and thread chasers, Conformance to these limits may be required on ‘Product threads, in which ease specifications shall Fequire control and checking of thread elements. ‘On pipe fittings and valves (not steel or high grade alloys used in critical services) for steam pressures 300 Ib and below, it is intended that plug and ring age practices as established in this Standard be used Cop b the Americ Sacly Of Mecorcel Engrees sc 19 151415 2003, ANSITASIE 81,20.1-1983 in conjunction with tooling control of thread ele- ments, c., taps and dies, to provide satisfactory control of functional size. Therefore, no tolerances fon thread elements have been established for this class, For service conditions, where more exact checks are required, procedures have been developed by industry to supplement the standard plug and ring age method of gaging. 4 SPECIFICATIONS FOR INTERNAL STRAIGHT ‘THREADS IN PIPE COUPLINGS, NPSC 4.1: Straight Pipe Threads in Pipe Couplings Threads in pipe couplings mado in accordance with these specifications are straight (parallel) threads of the same thread form as the American National ‘Standard Taper Pipe Thread specified in 2.1. They are used to form pressuretight joints when assembled with an Amecican National Standard external taper pipe thread and made up wrench-tight with lubricant orsealant. 4.1.1 Thread Designation, The American National Standard Coupling Straight Pipe Threads are desig- nated in accordance with 1.2.1 as follows: 1/8 -27 NPsc 4.1.2 Dimensions and Limits of Size. The dimen- sions and pitch diameter limits of size are specified in Table 4. The pitch diameter limits of size correspond to one and one-half turns large or small of the stan- dard taper pipe thread.

Three of these straight pipe thread joints are covered by this Stan- datd, all of which are based on the pitch diameter of ‘the American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread at the gaging notch (dimension £ of Table 2) but have various truncations at erest and root as described. below.

Where straight thread joints are required for mechanical assemblies, straight, pipe threads are often found more suited or con- venient. ‘The dimensions of these threads, as given in Table 6, are for pipe thread connections where reasonably close fit of the mating parts is desired. G3 Loose-Fitting Mech Locknuts, NPSL. ‘The American National Standard External Lock- nut thread is designed to produce a pipe thread having the largest diameter that it is possible to cut on standard pipe. Ordinarily Straight Internal Threads are used with these Straight External Threads, provid- ing a loose fit. The dimensions of these threads are siven in Table 7. It will be noted that the maximum major diameter of thé external thread is slightly greater than the nominal outside diameter of the pipe. The normal manufacturer's variation in pipe «diameter provides for this inerease. One application of a taper pipe thread in com- bination with a locknut thread which has been in use for some time is that shown in Table 7. It consists of the nipple threaded joint used to connect standpipes with the floor or wail of a water supply tank.

For this inspection, optics or optical projection is suggested. 7.3 Gage Tolerances In the manufacture of gages, variations from basic dimensions are unavoidable. Furthermore, gages will wear in use. In order to fix the maximum allowable variations of gages, tolerances have been established. Seo Table 9 and 7.3.2. 7.3.1 Master Gage Tolerances, The set of master gages should be made to the basic dimensions as accurately as posible, but In no case shall the cum- Uulative deviation exceed onchalf of the toial cum- lative tolerance specified in cols. 13 and 14 of Table 9. Each master gage should be accompanied by a record of the measurements of all elements of the thread and the standoff of master plug to master ring (large end of ring gage to basic notch of plug 2ng2). 7.3.2 Working Gage Tolerances. All gages applied to the product thread, whether in manufacture or inspection, are designated as working gages, All work- ing gages should be made to the basic dimensions specified in Table 8 and within tolerances specified in Table 9. Tho maximum wear on a working gage shall not be more than the equivalent of one-quarter tuo fom its orignal dimensions. 7. Relation of Lead and Angle Deviations to Pitch Diameter Tolerancss of Gages When it is necessary to compute from measure ‘ments the decimal part of a turn that a gage varies from the basic dimensions, Tables 10 and 11 should be used. Table 10 gives the correction in diameter for angle deviations and Table 11 gives the correction in diameter for lead deviations. These corrections are always added to the pitch diameter in the case of external threads and subtracted in the case of internal, threads regardless of whether the lead or angle devia tions are either plus or minus. ‘The diameter equivalent for lead and angle devia. tons plus the pitch diameter deviation multiplied by 16 gives the longitudinal deviation from basic at the aging notch. This longitudinal deviation divided by the pitch equals the decimal part of a turn that the ‘gage varios fromm basio at the gaging notch, Cop b the Americ Sac OF Mecorcel Engrees sc 19 151458 2003 18 ANSI/ASME B1.20.1-198 8 GAGING OF TAPER PIPE THREADS 8.1. Gaging Externe Taper Threads In gaging extoral taper threads, the Ly ing gage, Fig. 6, is sorowed handtight on the pipe or external thread, The thread is within the permisible tolerance when the gaging face of the working ring gage is not ‘more than one turn large or small, from being flush with the end of the thread, as indicated in Fig. 6, 8.2 Gaging Internal Taper Threads In gaging internal taper threads, the L plug gage, Fig. 4, is screwed handtight into the fitting or coup- ling. The thread is within the permissible tolerance when the gaging notch of the working plug gage is ‘not more than 1 turn, large or small, from being flush with the end of the thread, as indicated in Fig. 7, 8.3 Gaging Practice 8.3.1 Precautions. In gaging pipe threads it is common practice to tap or rap the part to assure proper seating ofthe gage in or on the product thread. However, itis first necessary to clean both the gage and the product threads so that they are free of chips, ‘burs, abrasives, or other foreign materials. 2.3.2 Supplemental Gaging. Gaging of both in- ternal and external threads by use of the Ly plug and ring gages, illustrated by Figs. 6 and 7, serves to assure conformance to the L elements of the design dimensions, However, conformance to this Standard requires that all baslc design dimensions be met within applicable tolerances including extension of the thread elements to provide for wrench-tight make- ‘up. Therefore, in controlling manufacturing practices or as otherwise required, additional methods of measuring or gaging may be employed to supplement 11 gaging 8.4 Gaging Chamfered, Countersunk, oF Recessed Threads ‘The reference point for gaging internal product threads depends upon the chamfer diameter. When. the internal chamfer diameter exceeds the major diameter of the internal thread, the reference point is the last thread scratch on the chamfer cone. See Fig. 8B. Otherwise, when the internal chamfer diameter does not exceed the major diameter of the internal thread, the reference point is the end of the ©c ote vin 240 Ord Aue ue Sule AUD ‘jHopuRRs SEIN! aass0d wre (9) ) “ip Bia) 606 0 UaSue; £7 ut sae UI UORRLIER aeENONY (5) “pup wooo ae spesuy 130} Bu}Wo om Yl o4p Bue paURECaU 9 US ote Gu!

See Table 2, col. 7, for the basic number of turns in the absence of chamfers (e.g., 4.32 turns for 27 tpi), the applicable tolerance being plus or minus one turn (or limits 3.32 to 5.32 turns for 27 tpi). 9 GAGING OF STRAIGHT PIPE THREADS 9.1. Typos of Gag Gages to properly control the production of these straight threads should be either straight GO and HI (Internal) and GO and LO (External) gages or the regular American National Standard Taper Pipe ‘Thread gages as indicated below. 9.41.1 Uso of Straight and Taper Gages. Straight GO and HI/LO gages should be used for all types of threaded joints where both the external and internal threads ae straight. Tapor plug gages should be used for the internal hveads of all types of mechanical joints where the external thread is tspesed and the internal threed Is straight. Taper plug gages used for this purpose should be checked periodically by direct measurement, 9.1.2 Gaging Pressure-tight Joints. Taper thread gages shall be used to gage straight internal pipe threads forming part of pressure-tight joints where the external thread is tapered.

A tolerance of one and ‘one-half turns large or small to gage shall be allowed. CAUTION: When using a tapered thread plug gage, nonuniformity of gage wear is « particular problem; therefore, taper plug gages used for this application should be checked by direct measurement of thread form and size in addition to checking against 2 mas- ter. 9.2 Gage Dimensions ‘The straight GO and HI plug gages and the straight GO and LO ring gages used for checking mechanical joint threads, Tables 6 and 7, shall be mado to the pitch diameter limits specified in the product tables in accordance with standard practice for straight thread gages as outlined in ANSI B12, Gages and Gaging for Unified Serow Threads. ‘Tho minimum major diameter of the GO thread plug gage shall be equal to the minimum pitch diame- fer of the internal thread plus an amount equal to 0.7SH (0.649519p). The maximum major diameter of the HI thread plug gage shall be equal to the ‘maximum pitch diameter of the internal thread plus ‘an amount equal to 0.50H (0.433013). ‘The maximum minor diameter of the GO thread ‘age shall be equal to the maximum pitch diame- ter of the external thread minus an amount equal to 0.50H (0.433013p), The minimum minor diameter of the LO thread ring gage shall be equal to the min mum pitch diameter of the external thread minus an amount equal to 0.25H (0.216506).

It should be understood that this table of twist rill diameters is intended to help only the occasional user of drills in the application of this Standard, When internal pipe threads are produced in larger quantities in a particular type of material and with specially designed machinery it may be found to be more advantageous to use a drill size not given in the table, even one having a nonstandard diameter.
