problem identifying thread

problem identifying thread

(OP)
I have an impeller with an internal thread. A thread pitch gauge for Whitworth 55° 11G-5/8 fits fine. The inner diameter is 123.8 mm or 4.874" (4 8/7?). I searched the internet for Whitworth thread tables but they all stop at smaller diameters.

Can anyone give a hint?

Thanks in advance,
 

RE: problem identifying thread

Did you check the Machinery's Handbook?  I didn't see anything they go from 4.5 to 5.0 but I did check the metric tables.

At that odd size it might be made to a print.

Check out a British Standard Pipe Parallel thread 4 1/2" dia.  The inner diameter is 122.772mm according to the table, which is about 1mm away from where you are now. This is assuming a full threadform.
Here is a link to a thread table  http://mdmetric.com/tech/thddat7.htm

B.E. Thanks for your valuable information. This is the first link to a thread table with larger diameters. I'm sure I can make use of it.

Sorry for the late reply. I was on hollydays.
