- There are tones of posts about making BSPT threads but:
- Most of them show how to make the male part (external thread)
- They do not include any tolerances
- They do not include the taper internal thread (female) Rc ISO 7
- Why is it important for me? I have a 3D printed part from ABS which is fragile and prefer to have the threads 3D printed not machined. and I want to have the female tapered so the 3D printing inaccuracies will be compensated.
- My questions:
- how to draw the profile? should it be aligned to the coordinate system or the tapered cone? in the picture below I have drawn both. should it be like (a) or (b)?
- how much the α needs to be? according to some sources it is 1 inch over 16 inches but I have no idea what that mean? is it like α=atan(1/8)? and other sources say it is just 1 degree and 47 minutes equal to 1.78333 degrees
- what does clockwise and counterclockwise means? so if I look from top to the hole I want to thread, the helix should go clockwise or counterclockwise?
- what should be the pitch diameter of the female considering the tolerances?
- how to draw the profile? should it be aligned to the coordinate system or the tapered cone? in the picture below I have drawn both. should it be like (a) or (b)?
I have drawn the BSPT 1/8 inch in SolidWorks including the parameters and common equations. you may see it in the attachment.
