Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

PIPE THREADS WHERE PRESSURE-TIGHT JOINTS
ARE NOT MADE ON THE THREADS DIMENSIONS,
TOLERANCES AND DESIGNATION
( Third Revision)

Scope

This part of ISO 228 specifies the requirements for thread form, dimensions, tolerances and designation for
fastening pipe threads, thread sizes 1/1 6 to 6 inclusive. Both internal and external threads are parallel threads,
intended for the mechanical assembly of the component parts of fittings, cocks and valves, accessories, etc.
These threads are not suitable as jointing threads where a pressure-tight joint is made on the thread. If assemblies
with such threads must be made pressure-tight, this should be effected by compressing two tightening surfaces
outside the threads, and by interposing an appropriate seal.
NOTE 1

For pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are made on the threads, see ISO 7-1.

NOTE 2

ISO 228-2 gives details of methods for verification of fastening thread dimensions and form, and recommended

gauging systems.

Normative reference

The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this part of ISO 228. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 228 are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative document indicated below. For undated references,
the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of
currently valid International Standards.

Dimensions

The profile of these threads is identical with that of the parallel thread specified in ISO 7-1. The internal and
external threads covered by this part of ISO 228 are both parallel.
Unless otherwise specified, the thread in accordance with this part of ISO 228 is a right-hand thread. (See also
clause 5.)
Threads are normally of the truncated form, with crests truncated to the limits of tolerance as given in columns 14
and 15 of Table 1. The exception to this is on internal threads, where they are likely to be assembled with external
threads in accordance with ISO 7-1, and in which case the thread length shall be equal to or greater than that
specified in ISO 7-1.
The tolerances on the pitch diameter of the internal threads correspond to the positive deviation of the diameter
tolerances in ISO 7-1, with the exception of those for thread sizes 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 and 3/8, for which slightly higher
values are specified.

IS 2643:2005
ISO 228-1

:2000

For external threads, two classes of tolerances on the pitch diameter are specified (see Table 1).

Class A (column 10) consists of entirely negative tolerances, each equivalent in value to the tolerance for the
respective internal thread.

Class B (column 11) consists of entirely negative tolerances, each with a value of twice that of the respective
internal thread.

The choice between class A and class B depends on the conditions of application and shall be made in product
standards where threads in accordance with this part of ISO 228 are specified.
Pipe thread dimensions, in millimetres, are given in Table 1.

Combining an external parallel thread G, tolerance class A or B, in accordance with ISO 228-1, with an internal
parallel thread Rp, in accordance with ISO 7-1, needs special consideration.
When this combination is necessary, the tolerance of the internal thread in accordance with ISO 7-1 shall be
considered in the relevant product standards, where external parallel threads G are used.
NOTE

Such a combination of threads does not necessarily achieve a leaktight joint.

Annex A
(informative)
References to European Standards

In clauses 2, 4 and 6 of this part of ISO 228 reference is made to ISO 7-1 for pipe threads where pressure-tight
joints are made on the threads.

Since the European Standard for pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are made on the threads is numbered
differently from ISO 7-1, and considering that EN ISO 228-1 is used by both ISO and CEN (the European
Committee for Standardization), the following definitions have been introduced for reference purposes only.

When EN ISO 228-1 is used as an International Standard, the referenced pipe thread where pressure-tight
joints are made on the threads shall be in conformance with ISO 7-1.

When EN ISO 228-1 is used as a European Standard, the referenced pipe thread where pressure-tight joints
are made on the threads shall be in conformance with prEN 10226-1 or prEN 10226-2.
