Question:

Minimum wall thickness after threading metal tubing?

I'm threading some aluminum tubing, and want to know the recommended minimum remaining wall thickness after using the die to cut the external threadsMy understanding is 2/100ths of an inchThe tubing will be conducting fluid under low pressures (lt;15PSI).I.eI want to tap tubing with an external diameter of 1/2 inch with 1/2-13 threadsThe max/min diameters are 0.50 and 0.40410.4041-.020 0.3841The pipe I wish to order is OD0.50 and ID0.37.Is this a small enough internal tubing diameter?Thanks!

Answer:

idk but i'm guessing ALOT
Very highWith the skin even higher.
An average sized mango can contain up to 40% of your daily fiber requirement.
Depending on the grade of tube you buy, you need to watch the manufacturing tolerances such as wall thickness and out-of-roundnessJust because the info says the ID is 0.37 doesn't mean that it will beI checked and found that the tolerances for 1/2 diameter aluminum tube is plus/minus 0.020 in diameter and plus/minus 0.009 in wall thicknessIt's best if you calculate the worst case scenarioGood luck.
