16、5. Performance Requirements5.1 The male threaded connector is intended for use withCO2, compressed air, or gaseous nitrogen, or a combinationthereof.5.2 The male threaded connector shall have a straight threadwith at least the number of engaged threads as shown in Table1, a tight fit and a factor of
17、 safety in shear of at least 10 at thetest pressure of the cylinder. The test pressure for a cylinder isspecified in DOT 49 CFR 178 or DOT CFFC 4th Revision.Shear stress must be calculated by using the appropriate threadshear area in accordance with NBS Handbook H-28.5.3 The male threaded connector
