Scope

The Dryseal American Standard Taper Pipe Thread, the Dryseal American Fuel Internal Straight Pipe Thread and the Dryseal American Intermediate Internal Straight Pipe Thread covered by this standard conform with the American Standard ASA-B2.2. The Dryseal SAE-Short Taper Pipe Thread in this standard conforms with the Dryseal American Standard Taper Pipe Thread except for the length of thread, which is shortened for increased clearance and economy of material. The significant feature of the Dryseal thread is controlled truncation at the crest and root to assure metal to metal contact coincident with or prior to flank contact. Contact at the crest and root prevents spiral leakage and insures pressure-tight joints without the use of a lubricant or sealer. Lubricants, if not functionally objectionable, may be used to minimize the possibility of galling in assembly.

Notes

Claudia's Notes:
Current requirements for Dry Seal Threads and their tolerances are contained in ASME B1.20.3.  SAE J476 contains useful information for design of bosses and manufacturing guidance.  Therefore, the document has been "stabilized" and will not be reviewed on the usual 5 year cycle.  Should a user recognize a reason for review, it should be brought to SAE's attention so that action can be taken.
