GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge
In order to ensure safety and integrity in cylindrical container design, pressure vessels and applicators must be designed in accordance with applicable industry regulations, guidelines, and criteria for threaded cylindrical containers. Specifically, GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge has been established as the industry standard for gauging threaded cylindrical containers, pressure vessels, and applicators.
GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge provides a method for accurately measuring the pitch and depth of threads on cylindrical containers with diameters ranging from 10 to 100 mm. These measurements are important for determining whether a threaded cylindrical container is correctly assembled, as deviations from the prescribed pitch and depth of threads can create safety hazards.
The process for using the GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge begins with the user determining the pitch, thread pitch, and thread shape of the cylinder thread in question. The pitch and thread pitch will be marked on the gauge, and the thread shape can usually be determined by the number of threads per inch on the cylinder. The user then circles the inside of the thread gauge in the direction of the thread while obtaining measurements of the thread depth at varying points along the thread gauge circumference. Finally, the average measured thread depth is calculated to make sure it conforms to the prescribed value in the gauge.
The GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge is constructed from carbon steel, with the ISO recognized pitch and thread shape marked using hard anodized steel. For larger threads, special adapters are available to allow measuring the depth of the thread in a grooved groove gauge. It is also important to note that the GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge is only applicable for use on cylindrical containers and not applicable for use on flat areas, such as gaskets or O-rings.
Using the GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge helps ensure that threaded cylindrical containers, pressure vessels, and applicators are correctly assembled and certified in accordance with regulatory standards and safety requirements. Moreover, the convenience of the GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge makes it an invaluable tool in the industry today. With its ability to accurately gauge pitch and depth of threads on cylindrical containers, it is no surprise that the GB 8336-87 Cylinder Thread Gauge is widely used in the applicable industries.
