1/4 thread for pressure transmitters

The 1/4 thread is one of the most commonly used thread types. In the following entry, you will learn about its width and pitch, and which JUMO pressure transmitters it is used in. Furthermore, you will learn about topics such as thread designation and thread types.

What is a thread?

Threads are connecting elements used in mechanical engineering. They are helical cuts on a cylindrical surface. They come in a large number of variants, depending on size, shape, inclination or position, among other things.

Threads - types

There are many types of threads In the following overview we present the most commonly used thread forms.

In terms of the system of measurements are two types:

  • G threads (inch) - pipe thread, thread angle is 55 or 60 degrees, and thread pitch is the number of turns per inch

  • M (metric) threads - the thread angle is 60 degrees and the thread pitch is given in millimetres.

In terms of position:

  • male thread - positioned on the outside

  • female thread - positioned inside the hole

In terms of pitch:

  • cylindrical thread - formed on the surface of a cylinder

  • tapered threads - formed on the surface of a cone

In terms of pitch:

  • fin thread - smaller thread pitch

  • coarse thread

  • normal thread

Thread form in terms of country:

  • bsp threads (british standard pipe) – Great British standard, for example pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are made on the threads

  • npt threads (national pipe straight threads) – American standard


Can bsp and npt be used together?

These thread types are misaligned, which can result in threads that are only partially fastened. Although 1/2 and 3/4 NPT and BSP sizes have the same pitch, there are differences in thread forms and thread angles, causing connection problems.

Most commonly used threads

In Poland and other countries that use the metric system, the most popular threads are integer multiples of millimetres, such as:

  • Thread G1/2

  • Thread G1/4

  • Thread G1/8

What size is a 1/4 thread?

A 1/4 thread is 6.35mm with a pitch of 28.


Thread roughness

Threads can have different roughnesses. This parameter is of particular importance This parameter is of particular importance when the application requires the medium to be cleaner and not medium is not deposited on the thread. In such cases it is advisable to use a thread with low roughness. In order to reduce this as far as possible, the thread is polished by electrolytic polishing.

Threaded connections with integral choke

Some pressure transmitters, such as MIDAS C08, MIDAS S05, MIDAS S06, dTRANS p30, DELOS SI, dTRANS p20 have threaded connections with a built-in choke, which helps to mitigate pressure shocks to the transmitter's measurement system. It is worth using such a solution when the transmitter is located near e.g. a diaphragm pump, where it is exposed to sudden, temporary pressure increases.
