Yeah. There are national, American, and British standards for threads; some codes are unknown to me and their meanings are unclear, and even the young chief designers in design institutes may not be aware of them – they simply design according to the standard templates. There are also problems with the alignment of drawings, instruments, and processes in the design institute; the actual situation is not as described in the drawings. There are also pressure indicators, of all kinds.
