Tapered threads are a signature feature of API Tubing & Casing connections. Measuring thread taper is not only an industry wide practice, it is an API Specification 5B mandated inspection. During the manufacturing process, taper must be accurately measured and quantified to stay within the required specification limits. When subjected to a service load, taper error on threaded tubing and casing connections can lead to galling, improper fit, and reduced performance.
Internal taper gages measure variation in thread taper. Taper gages are shipped with our standard set of .072” diameter contact points (T072), unless specified otherwise or requested. Refer to the chart for the proper contact point for your particular connection. Each internal gage requires two contact points. Higher resolution indicators are available.
