ISO Thread Standards

Pressure-Tight Thread Standards (ISO 7 Series)

These standards define pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are made on the threads:

StandardDescription
ISO 7-1:1994Dimensions, tolerances and designation

  • *ISO/TR 3313:1998 — Measurement of fluid flow in closed conduits — Effects of flow pulsations on flow-measurement instruments

Key Thread Designations

ISO 7Pressure-tight threads (taper)\text{ISO 7} \rightarrow \text{Pressure-tight threads (taper)}

ISO 228Non-pressure-tight threads (parallel)\text{ISO 228} \rightarrow \text{Non-pressure-tight threads (parallel)}

*ISO 7 threads use a taper design (typically 1:16) and seal on the threads themselves, making them suitable for gas and water connections. *ISO 228 threads are parallel and require additional sealing methods (gaskets, O-rings, or sealant) to achieve pressure-tightness.
