Thread profile
External profile over three pitches at the gage plane, drawn at maximum material (sharpest crest, flattest root); hatched bands are the truncation zones. Diameters shortened.
Thread length, taper and gage planes
Lengths, taper and gage planes to scale; diameters shortened. D and K at the planes are calculated with the mean truncations.

The standard defines no basic major or minor diameter: D basic and K basic are calculated with the mean Fig. 2 truncations. On the taper every diameter changes by 0.0625 in. per inch of length.

Notes
- Taper pipe threads on thin-wall nominal OD tubing, 27 threads per inch; D is the tubing OD (C.5, Table C2 note c). Table C2 gives no shoulder length, vanish thread or fitting OD; the figure shows a shoulder length of L2 + 3.47p. 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.
- Rounding only (last digit): Table C2 E0: printed 0.95740, formula gives 0.95741 (-0.00001; E0 = D - (0.05D + 1.1)p (C.6)) | Table C2 E1: printed 0.96805, formula gives 0.96806 (-0.00001; E1 = E0 + 0.0625 L1 = D - 0.8625p (C.6 prints D - 0.0625p, a misprint))
Mates
1-27 SPL-PTF, OD 1.000 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.
