The pipe thread standard (JIS B 0202,0203) was revised in 1982 to meet ISO standard. In the same year, JIS B 4445 (straight pipe thread taps) and JIS B 4446 (taper pipe thread taps) were also revised. A part of the pipe thread standard was revised in 1966 to meet ISO, but in the 1982 revision, the ISO standard was defined in the main book of JIS and the old 1966 standard was defined in JIS Appendix. For Pipe Threads specified in the main book of JIS and JIS Appendix, thread symbols are different
