Notes

  • Fine series: the thread pitch of the next smaller pipe size applied to the next larger size; full length external and internal threads (C.4). Table C1 pipe OD column is cut off at the page edge in the PDF; the value is completed from Table 3 and confirmed by E0 = D - (0.05D + 1.1)p. Limits at the gage plane are calculated: pitch diameter from the basic PD and the gage tolerance in turns x 0.0625p; major and minor diameters from the pitch-diameter limits, H = 0.866025p and the Fig. 2 truncation limits.
  • DIFFERS: Fig. 2 prints H = 0.06180 for 14 threads per inch; 0.866025p = 0.061859, so the printed value is a misprint (0.06180 for 0.06186). The formula value is used for every calculation; Table B1 also reproduces only with 0.06186. || Rounding only (last digit): Table C1 E1: printed 1.25342; exact formula gives 1.25339 (+0.00003). The printed value is E0 + 0.0625 x the printed L1, which is rounded to 3 places, so this is rounding.

Mates

1-14 F-PTF screws into a thread of the same standard at the same size and pitch. The standard mating internal thread is class —. Check the fit with the standard pair →

Working out the mating options…

Different pitch or a different thread family never mate; the fit check runs over both tolerance zones.

Check against formulasDIFFERS: Fig. 2 prints H = 0.06180 for 14 threads per inch; 0.866025p = 0.061859, so the printed value is a misprint (0.06180 for 0.06186). The formula value is used for every calculation; Table B1 also reproduces only with 0.06186. || Rounding only (last digit): Table C1 E1: printed 1.25342; exact formula gives 1.25339 (+0.00003). The printed value is E0 + 0.0625 x the printed L1, which is rounded to 3 places, so this is rounding.
NotesFine series: the thread pitch of the next smaller pipe size applied to the next larger size; full length external and internal threads (C.4). Table C1 pipe OD column is cut off at the page edge in the PDF; the value is completed from Table 3 and confirmed by E0 = D - (0.05D + 1.1)p. Limits at the gage plane are calculated: pitch diameter from the basic PD and the gage tolerance in turns x 0.0625p; major and minor diameters from the pitch-diameter limits, H = 0.866025p and the Fig. 2 truncation limits.
