Are there any restrictions on using threaded connectors for containers?
Thread Content
There are some threaded fittings on pressure vessels, such as RC1/2 gauge elbow fittings, are there any restrictions on their use? Are there any regulations stating that threaded connections cannot be used under certain conditions?
Our three types of pressure vessels, in which the medium is flammable and explosive, are also connected using threads. But what is a standard? Let’s discuss whether threaded connections can be used after all.
I haven’t seen any specifications, but it should work
I haven’t seen anything with clear regulations regarding this
Threads with sealing properties should be used. Otherwise, gaskets should be placed at the ends; for example, in the case of a pressure gauge connector of M20X1.5, gaskets are needed to ensure sealing at the ends.
What are the standards for threaded pipes used on pressure vessels? Those who know it, please provide the standard number. Thank you!
Good strength, sealing performance, plus user approval – that’s enough
