Pipes threads where pressure tight joint are made on the threads - Part 3: Verification by means of limit gauges

This part of EN 10226 specifies a process using limit gauges, for the validation of taper internal and external threads and parallel internal threads on piping systems components and other products, the dimensions and tolerances of which are detailed in EN 10226-1 and prEN 10226-2.
The gauging system described may not be suitable, without special precautions, for gauging of threads on injection moulded plastic workpieces.
This part of EN 10226 does not cover completely all the requirements necessary for full control of thread quality and dimensions. Additional control of tools and equipment and visual inspection during production are required to ensure complete compliance with EN 10226-1 and prEN 10226-2, for example the length of useful thread on internally threaded workpieces should be checked by direct measurement.
Annex A gives a summary of the gauges included in this part of EN 10226, together with details of the thread elements controlled by each gauge and gauge identification numbers.
In the event of a dispute over compliance with the requirements of EN 10226-1 and prEN 10226-2, the gauges in this part of EN 10226 are to be considered as decisive for the thread elements which they control on the workpiece.

Rohrgewinde für im Gewinde dichtende Verbindungen - Teil 3: Prüfung mit Grenzlehren

Dieses Dokument legt das Prüfen von kegeligen Innen- und Außengewinden sowie zylindrischen Innengewinden an Rohrleitungsteilen und an anderen Produkten mit Grenzlehren fest. Die Gewindemaße und die Toleranzen sind in EN 10226-1 und prEN 10226-2 angegeben.
Das beschriebene Lehrensystem ist nicht für die Prüfung von Gewinden an Spritzgussteilen aus Kunststoff ohne besondere Sicherheitsmaßnahmen geeignet.
Dieses Dokument erfüllt nicht alle Anforderungen, die zu einer vollständigen Prüfung der Qualität und der Maße von Gewinden notwendig sind. Eine zusätzliche Prüfung der Werkzeuge und der Einrichtungen sowie eine Sichtprüfung während der Herstellung sind erforderlich, um die volle Übereinstimmung mit EN 10226-1 und prEN 10226-2 zu sichern, z. B. sollte die nutzbare Gewindelänge an Werkstücken mit Innengewinde durch anzeigendes Messen geprüft werden.
Der Anhang A enthält eine Übersicht über die in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Lehren in Verbindung mit Angaben zu den Gewindeelementen, die mit diesen Lehren geprüft werden, sowie die Lehren-Identifizierungsnummern.
In Streitfällen der Übereinstimmung mit den Anforderungen nach EN 10226-1 und prEN 10226-2 sind die Lehren nach diesem Dokument, mit denen das Gewinde an einem Werkstück geprüft wird, entscheidend.

Filetage de tuyauteries pour raccordement avec étanchéité par le filetage - Partie 3: Vérification par calibres a limites

Le présent document spécifie les regles pour la vérification par calibres a limites des filetages coniques intérieurs et extérieurs et des filetages intérieurs cylindriques sur les composants des systemes de canalisations et autres produits, dont les dimensions et tolérances sont détaillées dans l'EN 10226 1 et le prEN 10226 2.
Si aucune précaution particuliere n'est prise, le systeme de vérification décrit peut ne pas etre applicable pour la vérification de filetages sur des pieces plastiques moulées par injection.
Le présent document ne couvre pas toutes les exigences nécessaires pour une vérification complete des dimensions et de la qualité du filetage. Des contrôles supplémentaires des outillages et équipements et des contrôles visuels sont également nécessaires au cours de la production pour satisfaire totalement a l'EN 10226 1 et au prEN 10226 2, par exemple, il convient de contrôler la longueur du filetage utile sur les pieces filetées intérieurement par un mesurage direct.
L'Annexe A donne un résumé des calibres figurant dans le présent document, et indique les caractéristiques des éléments de filetage contrôlés par chaque calibre ainsi que les numéros d'identification des calibres.
En cas de contestation sur le respect des prescriptions de l'EN 10226 1 et du prEN 10226 2, les calibres spécifiés dans le présent document feront foi pour les éléments du filetage qu'ils contrôlent sur la piece.

5 Design of gauges
5.1 General
The taper full form threaded plug gauges and parallel full form threaded ring gauges (see 5.2 and 5.3) together with
the taper plain ring gauges (see 5.4) have been chosen as representing the requirements for mating components
or products within the tolerances of EN 10226-1 and prEN 10226-2.
Because of the 1:16 taper of the gauge and/or the threaded workpiece, it is possible to represent the maximum and
minimum limits of diameter by means of tolerance steps within the axial length of the gauges.
The plain ring gauges included in this document, allow a combined check of the major diameter and the length of
useful thread of externally threaded workpieces.
The taper modified thread form check plug gauge (see 5.5) and parallel modified thread form check ring gauge
(see 5.6) for checking the manufacturing tolerances and wear allowances for the parallel full form threaded ring
gauges and taper full form threaded plug gauges respectively, are made to a modified thread form.
Some dimensions given in this document are more precise than the equivalent dimensions given in
EN 10226-1 and prEN 10226-2. This greater precision is only intended to assist the gauge manufacturing process
and is of no practical significance when using the gauges.
NOTE The expression "full form" has been used to describe those threaded plug and ring gauges which may be full form or
alternatively have thread form relief at the discretion of the manufacturer, so as to differentiate from those threaded check plug
and check ring gauges which are always of modified thread form.

The gauge incorporates a step equal in length to the total tolerance T on the position of the gauge plane of the

internal thread specified in EN 10226-1 and prEN 10226-2. To allow for the chamfer on the internal thread, the step
is displaced by 0,5P relative to the gauge plane, such that the internally threaded workpiece can be verified with
reference to its face.
The large diameter end face of the gauge is marked '+' (positive) and the face of the tolerance step is marked '–'

The gauge incorporates a step equal in length to the total tolerance T on the position of the gauge plane of the
2
internal thread specified in EN 10226-1 and prEN 10226-2. To allow for the chamfer on the internal thread, the step
is displaced by 0,5P relative to the gauge plane, such that the internally threaded workpiece can be checked with
reference to its face. On sizes 1/4 and larger, a thread relief is provided part way along the gauge, thereby reducing
the number of threads and consequential friction in contact with the internally threaded workpiece.
The overall length (l ) of the gauge is equal to the length of useful thread for maximum gauge length plus 0,5P.

The large diameter end face of the gauge is marked '+' (positive) and the face of the tolerance step is marked '–'

Figure 6 — Taper modified thread form check plug gauge (gauge No. 5)
The gauge is designed on the basis of the taper threaded plug gauge (gauge No. 1). The tolerance step has been
retained, but with respect to the gauge plane it is positioned entirely in the plus tolerance zone.
The threads of the check plug gauge are truncated at the crests and provided with a clearance groove at the root of
the thread in order to ensure the pitch diameters engage when gauging is carried out.
The dimensions of this check plug gauge are given in Table 6.
