Remarks 1.Pipe End is Basic Diameter Position (E1).
Remarks 2.Effective Thread Length is the length away from Pipe End by (L1+L3).
Remarks 3.Concerning bored hole shape, considering load on taps, taper bored hole is recommended.
Remarks 4.When applying taper bored hole. by referring to values in shown columns5,6and8,9, prepare the taper hole by using pipe reamer (1/16 taper). By referring to values shown in column!, select the drill diameter before reaming by taking reamer's margin into account.
Remarks 5.When preparing straight bored hole, by referring to values shown in column!, select drill diameter.
