I am mostly interested in when the threads will shear off. I need to determine whether the pipe will burst before the threads fail. I used the formula for shear area:
A=0.5*pi*(Pitch Diam at hand tight engagement)*(Length of engagement fully tightened)
then I used the assumption that shear...
Does anyone know how To find out the amount force is needed to strip a 1 1/2" NPT thread made from 304 Stainless steel assuming a made-up length of engagement of about 0.68"?
Thanks
