Standard and special lengths shall conform tothe tolerance requirements of 4.3.3.4.3.3 Nipples with lengths up through 1

29、2 in. (304.8 mm)long shall have a length tolerance of 6116 in. (1.6 mm).Nipples over 12 in. long shall have a tolerance of 618 in. (3.2mm).4.4 End FinishThe ends of the pipe nipples shall bechamfered on the outside at an angle of 35 6 10 to the centralaxis. (It is the standard practice that the18-in

30、. (3.2-mm)nominal pipe size nipples are not chamfered.) Ends shall be cutreasonably square to the central axis. All burrs on the insideshall be removed.4.5 Galvanized NipplesGalvanized nipples ordered underthis specification shall be made from pipe coated on the insideand outside by the hot-dip proc

31、ess. Threads and nipple ends arenot galvanized.5. Sampling and Inspection5.1 SamplingSamples of nipples sufficient to determinetheir conformance with the requirements of this specificationshall be taken at random for each lot of nipples of the samepipe size, length, and material.5.2 InspectionThe sa

32、mples shall be inspected to deter-mine their conformance with the dimensional requirements,including thread dimensions and finish of this specification.5.3 Gaging Techniques for Male Threads:5.3.1 An NPT working ring gage, in accordance with ANSIB1.20.1, shall be turned hand tight on the nipple thre

33、ads. Thegage shall be tapped or rapped against a solid surface and thegage again turned 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

34、to the gageface, plus or minus one turn.5.3.2 The reference point for gaging is the end of the threadprovided the chamfer is not smaller than the minor diameter ofthe external thread. When a chamfer on the external threadexceeds this limit, the reference point becomes the last threadscratch on the c

35、hamfer cone.5.3.3 The usual technique for tapping or rapping 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 bindi

36、ng due to slightnicks or foreign matter in the threads.NOTE 2Any mechanical device that simulates the gage tapping orrapping to achieve the same results is also permitted.TABLE 3 Dash Numbers for Standard and Extra Strong Steel Pipe NipplesNOMINAL PIPE SIZE1814381234 11-14 1-12 22-12 3456A OUTSIDE D
