3 Draft For Comments Only Draft Indian Standard SPECIFICATION FOR INSPECTION GAUGES FOR CHECKING TYPE 1 (SIZES 1, 2 and 3) TAPER THREADS OF GAS CYLINDER VALVES AND CYLINDER NECKS - TAPER 1 IN 16 ON DIAMETER ICS : Not to be reproduced without the permission of Last date for receipt of BIS or used as a STANDARD comments is: 07 Nov 2008 FOREWORD Adoption clause will be added later on. Taper threads of gas cylinder valve stems and cylinder necks as per type 1 sizes 1, 2 and 3 having taper 1 in 16 on diameter are provided in IS 3224: 2002 Indian Standard for Valve Fittings for Compressed Gas cylinders excluding Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinders and type 1size 2 threads are standardized in IS 8737:1995 Indian Standard for Valve Fittings and Cylinders for use with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders of more than 5 litre water capacity. These threads conform to the NGT threads as per ANSI/CSA/CGA STANDARD V Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connection issued by American National Standard Institute and Compressed Gas Association, Inc., this being the specification forming the basis of these threads Relevant portions of the specification of the threads have been reproduced in this revision. With this requirement to inspect the taper of the threads, the method of checking relative engagement of the product threads in the threaded and plain taper ring gauges has been included in this draft specification. Currently IS 9687 and IS 9121 specifications are available for the gauges to check the threads of Size 1 and Size 2 respectively. However, no Indian Standard Specification is available at present for the gauges to check size 3 threads. It has, therefore, been considered necessary that a composite Indian Standard be prepared to cover the gauges to check the threads of all the three sizes. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2:1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

4 1 SCOPE This standard prescribes dimensions, tolerances and material requirement of inspection gauges recommended for checking the taper threads on valve stems and the taper threads on cylinder necks for compressed gas cylinders - the threads conforming to Type 1 (size1, 2 and 3) of IS 3224 and Type 1Size 2 threads of IS Note - This type of thread also conforms respectively to size ½, ¾ and 1 NGT of ANSI/CSA/CGA STANDARD V Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connection issued by American National Standard Institute and Compressed Gas Association, Inc. 2 REFERENCES The Indian Standards listed below contain provisions, which through reference to this context constitute provision of this standard.

8 ANNEX A (Clause 8) USAGE OF GAUGES A-0 Special gauges are required for the gauging of these threads because of their length and rigid requirement for sealing the compressed gas against leakage. A-1 PITCH DIAMETER OF EXTERNAL THREAD To check the size of external thread for pitch diameter, the taper screw ring gauge D is used. This gauge D (also known as L 1 Ring Gauge) is the primary gauge because the reading taken on this gauge will be needed for use when additional gauging is done. A-1.1 The taper screw ring gauge E (also known as L 8 Ring Gauge) is used to check the taper of the external threads. It is screwed on to the valve stem thread and its engagement relative to that of L 1 ring read at A-1 is noted. A-2 CREST TRUNCATION OF EXTERNAL THREAD To check the crest truncation of external thread, the plain taper ring gauge F (also known as truncation gauge) is used. This gauge is placed over the taper thread and the engagement relative to that of L 1 ring read at A-1 is checked. A-3 Gauging of the thread with the three ring gauges (Fig. 7 to 9) is illustrated hereunder: a) To set the L 1 and L 8 taper screw ring gauges (gauges D and E respectively), use the master taper thread plug gauge M-EXT (Fig. 11) screwed into the rings and set the reading on the dial indicator at zero with the plunger tip on the indicator resting against small end of the master taper thread plug ensuring that the whole millimeter readings on the small dials is also equal on both the dials. b) To set the plain taper truncation ring (gauge F), insert the setting distance piece (Fig. 12) in to the gauge with the face X of the setting plug pressed against the large end face of the truncation ring. Set the plunger tip of the dial indicator against the face Y of the setting plug and adjust the dial at zero ensuring that the whole millimeter readings on the small dial is identical to that on the small dials of the two gauges in (i)(a) above. c) Screw the valve stem in taper screw ring D and note the reading on dial indicator. The reading should be zero (as set on the dial indicator) ± A-3(c)1 (see table below for value) mm for the purpose of acceptability of the thread size. Note this reading as R (Ext)L1

9 d) Screw the valve stem into gauge E. The reading on the dial indicator should be R (Ext)L1 + A-3(d)1 / - 0 (see table below for value) for the purpose of acceptability of the requirement of relative engagement (4.5). e) Place the valve stem in to the plain taper ring gauge F. The reading on the dial Indicator should be R (Ext)L1 + A-3(e)1 / -0 (see table below for value) for the purpose of acceptability of the crest truncation of the thread. A-4 PITCH DIAMETER OF INTERNAL THREAD To check the size of the internal thread for pitch diameter, the taper thread plug gauge A is used. This gauge A (also known as L 1 plug gauge) is the primary gauge because the reading taken on this gauge will be needed for use when additional gauging is done. A-4.1 The gauge B (also known as L 9 plug gauge) is used to check the engagement relative to that with L 1 plug. A-5 CREST TRUNCATION OF INTERNAL THREAD To check the crest truncation of the internal thread, the plain taper plug gauge C (also known as truncation gauge) is used. This gauge is placed in to the internal thread and the engagement relative to that with L 1 plug is checked. A-6 The gauging of the internal threads with these gauges as stated above is illustrated hereunder with reference to Fig. 13: a) Using the master taper screw ring shown in Fig. 10 and the plunger tips of the respective dial indicators resting against the face of the master ring, set the readings on all the dial indicators at zero ensuring that the whole millimeter readings on the small dials is also equal on all the three dials. b) Screw the taper thread plug gauge A in to the internal thread to be gauged. The reading should be zero ± A-6(b)1 (see table below for value) mm for the purpose of acceptability of the thread size. Note the reading on the dial indicator as R (Int)L1 c) Screw the taper thread plug gauge B in to the internal thread being gauged. The reading on the dial indicator should be R (Int)L1 +0 / - A-6(c)1 (see table below for value).for the purpose of acceptability of meeting the requirement of relative engagement (4.5). d) Place the plain taper plug gauge C in to the internal thread being gauged. The reading on the dial indicator should be R (Int)L1 + A-6(d)1 (see table below for value)/ -0 for the purpose of acceptability of meeting the requirement of crest truncation of the thread.
