Annex A (normative) states the clearance space requi
9、rements for the coupling and uncoupling of the lubricating gun and the maximum permissible diameter of the lubricating gun barrel, together with installation thread requirements. Lubricating nipples according to this standard are intended for use in aerospace assemblies, where regular lubrication of
