= Pitch diameter at hand-tight plane.


This is also the pitch diameter at the
gauge plane.

L1 = Length of normal hand-tight


engagement. This is also the L1 gauge
length. (Longer thread engagement
may be used in special applications,
such as flanges for high pressure use.
In such cases the pitch diameter, E,
remains as specified and the diameter
at the end of the pipe is proportionally
smaller.)

triangle to flat (not shown in diagram).
Minimum = 0.033P for all pitches. See
table for maximum.

3/8 = nominal pipe size

18 = number of threads per inch


NPT = symbol for the thread series and
form (i.e., National (American)
Standard Pipe, Taper)
Tolerances
When using L1 gauges to check threads,
the thread is within permissible tolerance if
the ring gauge face, or plug gauge notch,
is +/- 1 turn from being flush with the end
of the thread.

Note Basic dimensions are given to four or five decimal places to eliminate errors when calculating
gauge dimensions, they do not imply a greater degree of precisions than is normally obtainable.
Metric dimensions, where shown, are calculated from the inch values and rounded.
