Explanation of Doubtful Points of API Round Thread Casing and Coupling Thread Standoff

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article introduces briefly the design feature of thread gauges used in the inspection of API round thread casing and coupling thread standoff, and expounds some questions relating to the extending amount, the positive and negative sign of standoff P and P1, the thread number of hand tight standoff A and the revising of short round thread standoff, which may be ignored easily in the control and inspection of the casing and coupling standoff. The article also gives the right inspecting procedure of the round thread casing and coupling thread to avoid erroneous judgement in the course of standoff inspection.
