Thegage shall be tapped or rapped against a solid surface and thegage again turne

32、d hand tight into the thread. Hand tight meansturning the gage until moderate resistance is encountered; noexcessive force shall be used. After the second tighteningoperation, the end of the thread should be flush to the gageface, plus or minus one turn.5.3.2 The usual technique for tapping or rappi

33、ng the gage isto swing the end of the fitting with the ring gage attachedthrough an arc of approximately 4 to 6 in. (100 to 150 mm) toallow the gage to strike against a solid metal surface. Thistapping procedure is used to eliminate any binding due to slightnicks or foreign matter in the threads.NOT

34、E 2Any mechanical device that simulates the gage tapping orrapping to achieve the same results is also permitted.5.4 The inspector representing the purchaser shall haveentry, at all times while work on the contract of the purchaseris being performed, to all parts of the manufacturers worksthat conce

35、rn the manufacture of the nipples ordered. Themanufacturer shall afford the inspector all reasonable facilitiesto satisfy him that the nipples are being furnished in accor-dance with this specification.
