10.1 Countersink or Chamfer
All internal threads shall be countersunk a distance no less than one-half the pitch of the thread, at an angle of approximately 45 deg with the axis of the thread. All external threads shall be chamfered at an angle of 30–45 deg from the axis. Countersinking and chamfering shall be concentric with the threads. The length of threads shall be measured to include the countersink or chamfer.
10.2 Threading Tolerances
Tapered pipe threads (NPT) shall be checked by use of plug or ring gages in either standard or limit types. When gaging internal taper threads, the plug gage shall be screwed hand-tight into the fitting. The reference point for gaging internal product threads depends on the chamfer diameter. When the internal chamfer diameter exceeds the major diameter of the internal thread, the reference point shall be the last thread scratch on the chamfer cone. Otherwise, when the internal chamfer diameter does not exceed the major diameter of the internal thread, the reference point shall be the end of the fitting. In gaging external taper threads, the ring gage shall be screwed hand-tight on the external thread. On the external thread, the ring gage shall be flush with the end of the thread. Tolerance for an internal threaded end having an internal shoulder shall be from the gage reference point (notch) to one turn small. Tolerance for an internally threaded end without a shoulder, and for an externally threaded end, shall be from one turn small to one turn large.
10.3 Design of Threaded Ends
The wrenching section of internally threaded ends shall be polygonal, and the wrenching section of exter- nally threaded ends shall be furnished with either polygon or flats, at the manufacturer’s option.
