8.1 Inspection

8.1.1 Measurement with ID Micrometer

The starting thread of some Wedge thread boxes has been truncated or clipped to reduce
the tapered thread crest to a cylindrical diameter. The axial length or degrees of clip
thread diameter is controlled by the clip thread start and the full form thread start.
Also see TSH-IP-53.0079.

Locate the clipped thread start ( end of higbee), locate the clip thread end (start of full form
thread ramp). Measure from thread crest to Thread crest after the clipped thread start and
before the clipped thread end. Typically this length will be either 45 degrees or 90 degrees
from the clip start.
