Scope

This Standard specifies thread form, thread dimensions, tolerance, and associated gauges and gauging practices for threads used for fastening pipes.

The Standard covers pipe threads for pipe of nominal bore size 4 mm to 150 mm.

NOTES:
1 Where these threads are used on pipes for conveying fluids, the sealing is effected by means other than thread interference (e.g. gaskets on flanges or O-rings).
2 Pipe threads of Whitworth form where pressure tight joints are made on the threads are specified in AS 1722.1.
