Ask me anything screw thread related

[Gordon B. Clarke]

This seems to work for IT so who knows. I'm sure most of you work with screw threads at one time or another.

Any questions should be on practical things such as screw thread types and tolerances. Of course I don’t know everything on threads so maybe others will pitch (no pun intended ) in.

With a bit of luck Mike Rainey might pop in from time to time. I’ve no hesitation in admitting I use his program often.

With a bit of luck it might not get screwed up this time. I'm hoping Ox will help on that issue.

Ask me anything screw thread related . . .

Of course I don’t know everything on threads

Serious?

 

[Gordon B. Clarke]

To some it seems as if the fact that this thread might help members is less important than "having a go" at me.

Suggestion to Ox. Delete posts 2, 3, 4 and this one or simply delete the thread.

What is the thread size on a 5 gallon metal gas can snozzle? Nothing in the hardware store matches it.

They probably don't have 5 gallon cans in Norway. Maybe something in a liter size?

Maybe Ox should just walk down the hill, and delete all the threads.....

I hope no one wanted answers as I will no longer open this thread.

It sounds like he is telling everyone to get screwed.

 

[Cole2534]

No chance,he is some sort of a nut job.

It's all so riveting!

I have 2 Starrett thread micrometers. One is for 8-13 tpi and the other is for 14-20 tpi. How do I measure a thread that is 13.5 tpi?

Dude, that is trigger speech...

 

[converterking]

Are you saying that Roy Rogers horse could speak?

Maybe Mr. Ed?

 

[converterking]

Another question for Gordon. How much would I save by turning off my digital thread micrometers during lunch time?

 

[Ox]

Well this sure turned into a screwy thread....


Come on fella's, he was only trying to help. I understand that nobody had a question today, and if they did have - they are prolly scared to ask it now.... But nobody gave the fella with the "Ask me anything IT related" thread any grief...

Cut Gord some slack. (this time)

The old US Jeep cans use a 2" npt thread but straight not tapered with a flat rubber gasket. I think steel drums use the same. My air compressor tank uses something like that but a cast iron plug because of the pressure and an O-ring.
