Inch thread is used primarily to create pipe connections: it is applied both to the pipes themselves and to metal and plastic fittings necessary for the installation of pipe lines for various purposes. The main parameters and characteristics of the threaded elements of such connections are regulated by the relevant GOST, giving tables of sizes for inch threads, which specialists are guided by.
The normative document, which specifies the requirements for the dimensions of a cylindrical inch thread, is GOST 6111-52. Like any other, inch thread is characterized by two main parameters: pitch and diameter. The latter usually means:
Knowing the outer and inner diameters of an inch thread, you can easily calculate the height of its profile. To calculate this size, it is enough to determine the difference between such diameters.
The second important parameter - step - characterizes the distance at which two adjacent ridges or two adjacent depressions are located from each other. Throughout the entire section of the product on which the pipe thread is made, its pitch does not change and has the same value. If such important requirement will not be observed, it will simply be inoperative, it will not be possible to pick up the second element of the created connection to it.
You can familiarize yourself with the provisions of GOST regarding inch threads by downloading the document in pdf format at the link below.
Learn how metric threads relate to various types inch threads, you can use the data from the table below.
Similar sizes metric and various varieties inch threads in the range of approximately Ø8-64mm
By their own outward signs and characteristics, metric and inch threads do not have many differences, the most significant of which include:
When comparing the shapes of threaded ridges, you can see that in inch threads such elements are sharper than in metric ones. If speak about exact dimensions, then the angle at the top of the crest of the inch thread is 55 °.
The parameters of metric and inch threads are characterized by different units of measurement. So, the diameter and pitch of the first are measured in millimeters, and the second, respectively, in inches. However, it should be borne in mind that in relation to an inch thread, not the generally accepted one (2.54 cm), but a special pipe inch, equal to 3.324 cm, is used. Thus, if, for example, its diameter is ¾ inch, then in terms of millimeters, it will correspond to a value of 25.
To find out the main parameters of an inch thread of any size, which is fixed by GOST, just look at a special table. In the tables containing the sizes of inch threads, both integer and fractional values \u200b\u200bare given. It should be borne in mind that the pitch in such tables is given in the number of cut grooves (threads) contained in one inch of the length of the product.
To check whether the pitch of the thread that has already been made corresponds to the dimensions specified by GOST, this parameter must be measured. For such measurements, carried out for both metric and inch threads according to one algorithm, standard tools- comb, caliber, mechanical gauge, etc.
The easiest way to measure the pitch of an inch pipe thread is by using the following method:
If the bolt is not screwed into the template or is screwed, but creates a loose connection with it, then such measurements should be taken using a different coupling or other fitting. An internal pipe thread is also measured using a similar technique, only a product with an external thread is used as a template in such cases.
You can determine the required dimensions using a thread gauge, which is a plate with notches, the shape and other characteristics of which exactly match the parameters of the thread with a certain pitch. Such a plate, acting as a template, is simply applied to the thread being checked with its serrated part. The fact that the thread on the element under test corresponds to the required parameters will be indicated by the tight fit of the serrated part of the plate to its profile.
In order to measure the size of the outside diameter of an inch or metric thread, you can use a regular caliper or micrometer.
Cylindrical pipe thread, which belongs to the inch type (both internal and external), can be cut manually or mechanically.
Thread cutting by handThreading with hand tool, which is used as a tap (for internal) or a die (for external), is performed in several steps.
Thread cutting lathe
Mechanically, pipe threads are cut according to the following algorithm:
It should be borne in mind that the inch thread is cut mechanically using a lathe only on tubular products whose thickness and rigidity allow this. Making pipe inch threads mechanically allows you to get a high-quality result, but the use of such technology requires the turner to have appropriate qualifications and the presence of certain skills.
A thread related to the inch type, as indicated by GOST, can correspond to one of three accuracy classes - 1, 2 and 3. Next to the number indicating the accuracy class, put the letters "A" (external) or "B" (internal). The full designations of the thread accuracy classes, depending on its type, look like 1A, 2A and 3A (for external) and 1B, 2B and 3B (for internal). It should be borne in mind that the 1st class corresponds to the coarsest threads, and the 3rd - the most accurate, the dimensions of which are subject to very stringent requirements.
Threaded fasteners have been known since antiquity. Scientists still find the remains of parts that look like modern screws and nuts. But carving was most widespread during the industrial revolution of the 18th century. Initially, the spread of a detachable threaded connection was hindered by the lack of standardization, which made it impossible to ensure the interchangeability of products. The talented English engineer Charles Whitworth solved this problem. He developed a unified system of sizes and designations, using the English inch for this. This is how the inch thread was born. And all sizes are listed in the table according to GOST.
An inch thread is a detachable connection of a triangular profile, the angle of the vertices of which is 55 degrees. Its unit of measure is inches. It should be noted right away that in Russia the use of inch threads in the design of new products is prohibited. Its use is permitted only in the case of the manufacture of spare parts of equipment for which an inch thread has already been made. In addition, it is allowed to use this thread as a pipe connection and in the manufacture of sealing hydraulic elements.
Inch, like any other, is characterized by the following main parameters:
There are many types of threaded connections, the dimensions of which are inches, but among them in Russia the following main types are distinguished:
Each category has its own characteristics. Cylindrical pipe thread is regulated by GOST 6357-81. Thread sizes are standardized and listed in a special table. These inch threads are primarily characterized by a finer pitch, which means fewer threads per inch.

When choosing thread sizes, the 1st row should be preferred to the 2nd. |
Its second difference is a more rounded profile. It contributes to a tighter contact of the turns to each other, which reduces the likelihood of leakage when transporting fluid through this threaded connection.
Cylindrical pipe threading is performed on pipes whose diameter does not exceed 6 units of an inch. Pipes larger than this size require the use of high-precision equipment, which increases production costs. In this case, it is more efficient, both from a technological and financial point of view, to fix pipes by welding.
Pipe conical thread is represented by GOST 6211-81. Dimension table, tolerance limits and load values are described in this standard. By the type of profile of the turns, the conical thread is similar to the inch thread, but it has 2 rather important differences.

First of all, it is that there are two types of profile angles: 55 and 60 degrees. The second difference is that the thread is cut along a cone, due to which the conical threads have such a quality as self-sealing (a table with taper values \u200b\u200bis indicated in the reference literature). Therefore, fastenings with the help of them do not require the use of additional sealing elements: linen thread, yarn with red lead, etc.
There are 3 thread accuracy classes: the first (the roughest), the second and the third (the most accurate). The choice of one or another class depends on 2 factors: the dimensions of the thread diameter taken from the table, the fluid pressure in the pipeline. The higher the thread class, the more fluid pressure it can withstand.
Dimensions are checked for compliance with a certain accuracy class using special gauges. This method allows you to most reliably determine the compliance of the thread with the required dimensions, but it is more laborious. This method is effective in the conditions of multi-batch production of parts that require the presence high precision. When the series is not so large and there are no increased requirements for accuracy, the dimensions of the threads are controlled as follows:
Inch thread designation in technical documentation let's look at an example:
The letter "G" means that the pipe thread is cylindrical. Conical pipe according to Russian standards is denoted by the letter "K".
The number "2" indicates the size of the outer diameter. The unit of measure is inches. Thread sizes and their options are fully regulated by GOSTs and are listed in special tables.
The letters "LH" indicate that the thread has a left-hand screw direction. The absence of this designation indicates the right direction.
The number "2" characterizes the accuracy class. The table of deviation limits is indicated in GOST. The number "40" is a size that characterizes the screwing length.
To obtain an inch cut, 2 main methods are used:
Knurled ones are made using special thread-rolling rollers, the profile of which follows the contour of the thread. The workpiece is placed between the rollers, and the threads are rolled to the required dimensions.
Threads made by this method have higher mechanical characteristics due to a smoother distribution of stress waves between the turns. Also, knurling has a high productivity, which allowed it to find extensive use in mass production.
The disadvantage of the rolling method is the complexity of manufacturing rollers. Their accuracy should be high level. Otherwise, it is very difficult to guarantee the required thread sizes. The second point is the material of the commercials. It must have improved mechanical properties. Usually, high-alloy stamped steels are used for this. All this makes the knurling method very costly from a financial point of view.
Cut threads are easier to manufacture, but mechanical properties, especially in terms of endurance limit, are noticeably inferior to knurled ones. This is due to the presence of sharper profile edges and, accordingly, a higher value of the stress coefficient.
The product is cut in two ways:
For manual cutting, a tap is used (for the inner river) and a die (for the outer). The pipe is clamped. One of the indicated types of improvised tools is put on and screwed onto its end, depending on the type of thread. Perform cutting. This process is repeated to improve purity and accuracy.
On a lathe, the algorithm of actions is quite similar. Only the pipes are clamped not in a vice, but in the chuck of the machine. Next, the cutter is brought in, the threaded feed is turned on and the machine begins the manufacturing process. This method is more efficient than manual cutting, but requires a certain qualification from the turner.
Pipe cylindrical thread used in cylindrical threaded connections, as well as in connections of an internal cylindrical thread with an external conical thread according to GOST 6211-81. based on carving BSW(English) British Standard Whitworth, common inch pipe threads, also known as Whitworth threads) and is compatible with B.S.P.(English) british standard pipe thread) and denoted BSPP.
Inch thread with a profile angle at the top of 55 °, the theoretical profile height H = 0.960491P.
Cut into pipes up to size 6", pipes over 6" are welded.
Symbol according to GOST 6357-81: letter G, the numerical value of the nominal diameter of the pipe in inches , the accuracy class of the average diameter ( BUT, AT), and letters LH for left hand thread. For example, a thread with a nominal diameter of 1 1/8, accuracy class BUT- designated as: G 1 1/8-A.

The process of selecting the required cross-sectional dimensions of threads, cables and pipes is often time consuming. In addition to the fact that it is necessary to choose the appropriate dimensions, taking into account the parameters of the equipment, the customer has to independently convert the data into suitable units of measurement. This process is costly in terms of time.
We simplify this task, as we suggest you use ready-made translation tables. On the page of our website you will find tables that will help you easily select the necessary threads for inch pipes, copper and aluminum conductors of wires and cables. Also, you can use the inch to metric conversion table, thereby accurately calculate required dimensions sections.
Unfortunately, most equipment manufacturers leave the customer alone with the calculations. Therefore, a person has to independently search the Internet for translation tables in order to select optimal sizes cross-sections of wires and pipe diameters.
We value the time of our customers, providing everyone with the opportunity to use ready-made solutions. In our tables translated standard sizes from inches to millimeters.
On this page you will also find translations of the main energy units and units of pressure, therefore, you will be able to choose the right refrigeration equipment, taking into account the individual conditions of placement and modes of operation of the units.
In this article, I want to not only give dry facts about the dimensions of an inch pipe thread with references to standards and GOSTs, but also bring to the reader an interesting fact about the features of the designation of the latter.
So, who has already encountered pipe threads more than once was surprised at the discrepancy between the outer diameter of the thread and its designation. For example, a 1/2 inch thread has an outer diameter of 20.95 mm, although logically with metric threads it should be 12.7 mm. The thing is that in inch threads they actually indicate the through hole of the pipe, and not the outer diameter of the thread. At the same time, adding the pipe wall to the size of the hole, we get an overestimated outer diameter, which we are used to in the designations of metric threads. Conventionally, the so-called pipe inch is 33.249 mm, that is, 25.4 + 3.92 + 3.92 (where 25.4 is the passage, 3.92 is the pipe wall). The pipe walls are taken based on the working pressure for the thread. Depending on the pipe diameter, they also increase accordingly, since a pipe with a larger diameter must have thicker walls than a pipe with a smaller dimater for the same working pressure.
Pipe threads are divided into the following:
This is an inch thread based on the BSW (British Standard Whitworth) thread and corresponds to the BSP (British standard pipe thread) thread, has four pitch values of 28,19,14,11 threads per inch. It is cut on pipes up to size 6", pipes over 6" are welded.
The profile angle at the top is 55°, the theoretical profile height is Н=0.960491Р.
Standards:
GOST 6357-81: Basic norms of interchangeability.
The thread is pipe cylindrical. ISO R228, EN 10226, DIN 259, BS 2779, JIS B 0202.
Symbol: the letter G, the numerical value of the nominal diameter of the pipe in inches (inch), the accuracy class of the average diameter (A, B), and the letters LH for left-hand threads. For example, a thread with a nominal diameter of 1 1/4", accuracy class A - is designated as G1 1/4-A. Again, we recall that it should be borne in mind that the nominal thread size corresponds to the pipe clearance in inches. The outer diameter of the pipe is in some proportion with this size and more, respectively, by the thickness of the pipe walls.
