Hi Guys, Need some help understanding, Documentation History, API 6A 19th ed. Annex L. page 377 note. The sharp vee thread is specified in API BUL 5A october 1944, Table 9. this document is still valid in desigining gages. Page
378 ref dimensions for 2 1/16 out. Now API 5B 14th, page 42, 52, 54 spec for 1 1/2 Line Pipe gage. back to Spec API Bul 5A Bul page 14, 15 spec for 1 1/2 sharp vee. Now for the questions A. Is the 1 1/2 LP and the 1 1/2 sharp vee gage the same thread? B. If not why? I am geeting beat over the head on this issue, some customer say I have LP threads, some say I have sharp vee threads. My supplier says are sharp vees. I really need some gudiance. Thanks in advance.
