“The difference between “barrel nipple” and “threaded nipple”
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, what is the difference between a “barrel nipple” and a “threaded nipple”?
The translation from Google Dictionary! barrel nipple cylindrical threaded fitting ； Threaded nipple: a fitting with external threads for connection!
A barrel nipple can actually be translated as “double-ended short thread”.
Barrel nipple: the threads are on the inside, just like a nut. Threaded nipple: the threads are on the outside, just like a bolt. That’s the difference; they’re simply a matching pair.
Barrel nipple: tube with internal threads; Threaded nipple: tube with external threads. What was said upstairs is easy to understand:
I’ve seen in the catalog samples from manufacturers in Taiwan that a barrel nipple is a tube with external threads at both ends and a section in the middle without any threads. It’s not an internal thread.
