Brass hose fittings hose barbs diffrence in NPT and NPTF threads

All Jamnagar Manufacturers of Brass hose fittings Brass hose barbs hose nipples Brass hose hose nozzles and Garden hose fittings are confused between NPT and NPTF threads. The two most common taper pipe threads used in the United States are NPT and NPTF. Applications range from electrical conduits and hand railings to high-pressure pipe lines that carry gas or caustic fluids. NPT threads are for mechanical or low-pressure air or fluid applications and require the use of sealing compounds like Teflon tape, to provide the seal. When the application is more critical, and the sealing compound may fail due to high heat or pressure, NPTF Dryseal threads are used. This mechanical seal is produced by the mating and slight crushing of the threads when a wrench is applied to tighten the fittings.
Visually, both threads appear to be identical. Both have a ¾” taper over one foot of length. Both have the same pitch diameter at the top of the hole of internal threads or end of the pipe on external threads, and both have the same thread lengths or depths. However, there is a subtle difference in the thread form that differentiates the two. The major and minor diameters of both threads differ slightly. With NPT threads, after a wrench is applied, slight spaces at the major and minor diameters may exist that would allow the assembly to leak and therefore a sealing compound is used to fill any gaps. On the other hand, NPTF threads are designed to ensure that sufficient crushing of the entire thread form will take place to produce a mechanical seal.
How does the difference in thread forms effect the tooling used to produce NPT and NPTF threads? Taps are available for both NPT and NPTF threads having the appropriate form to produce each type of thread. Since NPT threaded parts require sealing compounds, it is acceptable to use an NPTF tap for NPT applications. However, NPT taps cannot be used for NPTF applications, as it will likely produce a thread that will leak. The same is true of external threads. In most cases the tap drill is the same for both forms.
The most significant difference in the two threads is the inspection required. Since sealing compounds will be used for NPT threads, only a single plug with a step, known as an L1 plug (internal thread) or a single thin L1 ring (external) are required to check size. However, since the taper and the position of major and minor diameters are so critical to the sealing of NPTF threads, the additional threads in the assembly known as L2 and L3, and the major and minor diameters are inspected with either special plug or ring gages.

I-T holiday for EOUs extended for a year

Giving in to industry demand, the government of India announced one-year extension of income tax holiday for Export-Oriented Units (EOUs) under section 10B of the Income Tax Act. RIL is expected to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of this move as it has converted its refinery into an EOU only last fiscal. The government, which had remained silent on the fate of the scheme in the budget, will now move an amendment in the Parliament. The exporting industries, which have been hit by rising input costs and an appreciating rupee, had been demanding the extension of the scheme for a while.

The Jamnagar EOU industries making Brass Screws Brass Nuts Anchors Brass fasteners Brass parts hose fittings marine cable glands Brass pipe fittings Brass casting Bronze foundries Copper casting manufacturers will get a new lease on life.

Higher coal prices hurting Jamnagar Brass manufacturers

The price hike in coal by about 40% in last 3 months is hurting the Jamnagar Brass industry big time. Small Brass and Bronze foundries face acute financial crisis as they are not able to pass on their increase and recoup the diffidence. The trend to switch to oil fired furnace from coal furnace may gain momentum thanks to higher coal prices.

RIL's Jamnagar refinery is a rich well of talent

If they had migrated to a big city, they might have ended up fixing a drainage pipe or welding a broken gate. But thousands of young, untrained workers from around the country chose to go to a dry coastal town in Gujarat. More than two years later, the decision has proved fruitful. They are not only making the best money, they have also learnt skills that will help them get good jobs in future. Jamnagar, the jewel of Kathiawar, has a rich royal history, but over the past decade, its name has become synonymous with a large-scale petroleum refinery that Reliance Industries runs there. In 1990s, construction of the refinery producing 660,000 barrels a day, had brought about an unprecedented industrial transformation. Today, the buzz has returned as Reliance is putting up another refinery, with a capacity of 580,000 barrels, to make the place the world’s single-largest refinery complex. When the gigantic project began two years ago, the biggest challenge that the company faced was how to find 80,000 skilled workers and engineers needed to execute it? “While commissioning India’s biggest refinery in Jamnagar in 1990’s, RIL had experienced an acute shortage

Essar Group plans a polypropylene unit in Jamnagar

Essar Group, a Gujarat based private refinery in India has plans to set up a polypropylene unit in Jamnagar.The project is still in its nascent stage and therefore the exact size and amount of investment for the venture has not been determined yet.Sources confirmed that the plant is likely to come up in the special economic zone of the company in Vadinar, an all weather deep-draft natural port on the west coast of India. Over 60 percent of crude oil imports to India land in and around this region. The plant is likely to get positioned near the grassroots refinery of the company in Gujarat which has a capacity to produce 10.5 million tons of per annum.The project on its completion is expected to produce Euro II and Euro III grades of petrol and diesel. Moreover, with mid-stream upgradation of processes and technologies, the refinery will have the capability to process the most sour, acidic and heavy crude oil.As of now, the group is in talks with two companies for a possible tie up for the plant.

Jamnagar Brass Industry a SWOT analysis

Presently the Brass parts Brass components industry in Jamnagar has following SWOT analysis.

Strength: Low cost labour, hard and tenacious local people, ability to convert scrap Brass in to rods at probably most competitive rate in the world, entrepreneur zeal.


Weakness: lack of education among manufacturers , lack of high quality machinery, inability to invest in capital goods ,lack of calibration, shortage of skilled technical engineers and quality control staff, Volatility in raw material prices, tendency to undercut each other.

Opportunities: Huge Americana and European markets yet to be tapped fully as either they have not taken the plunge of outsourcing or they are not happy with preliminary experience few years back when the industry was still developing.

Threat:Chinese competition, new low cost manufacturing hubs like Vietnam, Bangladesh may spring a surprise.

Jamnagar industry which makes tons of Brass precision components Brass nuts Brass screws fasteners neutral links hose fittings cable glands Brass inserts tank connectors etc. has a long way to go. The learning curve is steep and we have miles to go.

Jamnagar Brass industry

Welcome. The idea behind this blog is to give a low down on the Jamnagar Brass industry to the world. The industry size is estimated to be around a billion USD with 70% going in exports to countries like USA UK Germany Australia Canada France Sweden Denmark Italy etc.

Jamnagar Brass industry in India specializes in Brass fasteners Brass screws Nuts Brass bolts sanitary fittings Brass pipe fittings Bronze fittings Brass casting Brass turned parts machined components micro Brass parts Brass terminals electrical accessories Brass cable glands marine accessories hose barbs harden hose fittings male female Brass sockets pins plugs conduit fittings etc.

The raw material for this industry is Brass scrap which is imported from UK Germany UAE Saudi Arabia etc. The scrap which is specified as 'ISRI Honey' is melted in to coal furnace and poured in to rods or castings as per requirement.

The rods or casting are the machined on local Jamnagar machines to give cost effective Brass components and Brass turned parts.
