8. Verification.ASTM has the right to verify compliance with this Agreement, at its expense, and at any time during the course of normal business hours. To do so, ASTM will engage an independent consultant, subject to a confidentiality agreement, to review Licensee's use of ASTM Product and/or Documents. Licensee agrees to permit access to its information and computer systems for this purpose. Verification will take place upon no less than 15 days notice, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with Licensee's operations. If verification reveals unlicensed or prohibited use of the ASTM Products or Documents, Licensee agrees to reimburse ASTM for the costs incurred in verification and reimburse ASTM for any unlicensed/prohibited uses. By invoking this procedure, ASTM does not waive any of its rights to enforce this Agreement or to protect its intellectual property by any other means permitted by law. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that ASTM may imbed certain identifying or tracking information in the ASTM Products available on the Portal.

The overflow shank has the same diameter throughout and is always smaller than the core diameter of the thread (through holes).

In the picture below you can see that with a pointed head it is not possible to drill all the way into a blind hole. Therefore taps with flat head end are used, which reach the bottom of the blind hole.

Since the force factor does not come into play with machine taps due to the machine use, the additional two work steps are saved and single-cut taps are used.

B. Authorized Users:any individual who has subscribed to this Product; if a Site License, also includes registered students, faculty or staff member, or employee of the Licensee, at the Single or Multiple Site.

C. Copyright Notice. All copies of material from an ASTM Product must bear proper copyright notice in ASTM's name, as shown in the initial page of each standard, article, file or material. Obscuring, deletion or modification of the copyright notice is not permitted.

It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

To cut an internal thread, the appropriate tap must be selected. In this article you will learn the characteristics of internal taps and what influence they have on the selection.

10. Disclaimer of Warranty: Unless specified in this Agreement, all express or implied conditions, representations and warranties, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement are disclaimed, except to the extent that these disclaimers are held to be legally invalid.

A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.

5. Which material will you cut into (application)? In case of hard materials, a longer point cut is advantageous because less force is applied to the tap. The required tool steel also depends on the application. With internal taps made of high speed steel HSSE-Co 5 you can cut e.g. in stainless steel and bronze.

Shipping and Handling charges are approximate. Additional charges may be incurred if your order requires multiple shipments. This does not apply to complete sets and sections.

Hardenabilityvs hardness

An advantage of a multi-part hand tap set is the lower force on each individual tap (reduction of the risk of breakage). Should you ever cut crooked with the taper tap, a correction with the next tap is possible.

11. Limitation of Liability: To the extent not prohibited by law, in no event will ASTM be liable for any loss, damage, lost data or for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, however caused regardless of the theory of liability, arising out of or related to the use of the ASTM Product or downloading of the ASTM Documents. In no event will ASTM's liability exceed the amount paid by Licensee under this License Agreement.

A. Termination:This Agreement is effective until terminated. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time by destroying all copies (hard, digital or in any media)of the ASTM Documents and terminating all access to the ASTM Product.

The grooved profile is used as a channel system for the collection and removal of chips. There are two types of flutes: straight and spiral.

B. Licensee shall use all reasonable efforts to protect the Product from any use that is not permitted under this Agreement, and shall notify ASTM of any use of which it learns or is notified.

3. Limited License.ASTM grants Licensee a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable license to access, by means of one or more authorized IP addresses, and according to the terms of this Agreement, to make the uses permitted and described below, each ASTM Product to which Licensee has subscribed.

The point cut for manual and machine taps can have a progressive tap. It is used to break the chip so that it can exit the drilling hole easily.

(ii) An Authorized User may not make this Product, or Documents, available to anyone other than another Authorized User, whether by Internet link, or by permitting access through his or her terminal or computer; or by other similar or dissimilar means or arrangements.

The blind hole however ends in the workpiece at a certain drilling depth and is therefore not continuous. In this case it is advantageous that the chip is transported upwards out of the hole. This is the case with machine taps with a left-hand twisted groove, which push the chips against the cutting direction.

As the name suggests, threads are cut by hand. For this purpose, for example, a tap wrench is used in which the hand tap is clamped.

(iv) Licensee may not utilize the Product, or access to the Product, for commercial purposes, including but not limited to the sale of Documents, materials, fee-for-service use of the Product or bulk reproduction or distribution of Documents in any form; nor may Licensee impose special charges on Authorized Users for use of the Product beyond reasonable printing or administrative costs.

C. Integration:This Agreement is the entire agreement between Licensee and ASTM relating to its subject matter. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, representations and warranties and prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or other communication between the parties relating to its subject matter during the term of this Agreement. No modification of this Agreement will be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party.

International orders are delivered via courier post services which can be either a postal service, courier service, or a combination of both. Standard Service is untraceable. Please allow 4-7 weeks for delivery.

C. ASTM shall use reasonable efforts to make online access available on a continuous basis.   Availability will be subject to periodic interruption and downtime for server maintenance, software installation or testing, loading new files, and reasons beyond the control of ASTM. ASTM does not guarantee access, and will not be liable for damages or refunds if the Product becomes unavailable temporarily, or if access becomes slow or incomplete due to system back-up procedures, Internet traffic volume, upgrades, overload of requests to servers, general network failures or delays, or any other cause that may from time to time make the Product unavailable for the Licensee or Licensee's Authorized Users.

(b) the right to download, store or print single copies of individual Documents, or portions of such Documents for the Authorized User's personal use, and to share such copies with other Authorized Users of Licensee within Licensee's computer network;

The angle as well as the pitch are decisive for the application of the thread type. The most common angle in Europe is the 60° angle for ISO metric threads. We also offer the Whitworth thread with 55° degrees and the steel conduit thread with 80° degrees.

Save Time and Trouble! With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.

Attention: Since the reinforced shank of machine taps is thicker than the thread itself, they cannot be used for deep holes.

Hardenabilitycurve

The thread is cut in three work steps. This means that materials that are difficult to cut and large thread diameters can be cut easily by hand. In contrast to the single-cut tap, the effort required for tapping and the force applied to the tap is greatly reduced.

(b) the right to download, store or print single copies of individual Documents, or portions of such Documents, solely for Licensee's own use. That is, Licensee may access and download an electronic file of a Document (or portion of a Document) for temporary storage on one computer for purposes of viewing, and/or printing one copy of a Document for individual use. Neither the electronic file nor the single hard copy print may be reproduced in anyway. In addition, the electronic file may not be distributed elsewhere over computer networks or otherwise. That is, the electronic file cannot be emailed, downloaded to disk, copied to another hard drive or otherwise shared. The single hard copy print may only be distributed to others for their internal use within your organization; it may not be copied. The individual Document downloaded may not otherwise be sold or resold, rented, leased, lent or sub-licensed.

Domestic orders are delivered via United Parcel Service (UPS) or United States Postal Service (USPS). Transit times average 3 to 5 business days. Please be aware that UPS will not deliver packages to Post Office Boxes.

You should also note in which direction a screw or the opposite element is turned. There are right and left cutting threads. A screw or the counterpart are always screwed in the same direction as the thread is cut. Screws are often tightened clockwise, which is why most taps are right-handed.

Now you surely ask yourself the question why you need a machine tap especially for through holes. Taps for through holes may have more threads at the point cut as the top of the tap can exit at the end of the hole. Thus the thread is cut completely despite the missing cutting edges at the top.

1.1 These test methods cover the identification and description of test methods for determining the hardenability of steels. The two test methods include the quantitative end-quench or Jominy Test and a method for calculating the hardenability of steel from the chemical composition based on the original work by M. A. Grossman.

D. Assignment:Licensee may not assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement without the prior written permission of ASTM.

Price When you select the "Standard + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of a Standard + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.

Please be aware that carriers will not deliver packages to Post Office Boxes. Because of the variability of customs processes and procedures in different countries, ASTM International cannot guarantee transit times to international destinations. Customs duty and taxes are the responsibility of the consignee.

With drills for blind holes, the head end for very small diameters is pointed instead of flat. This is due to the manufacturing process. During manufacture, the tap must be clamped to the shank as well as to the head. This is done at the head end via a centering hole. With smaller dimensions, however, this is not possible and the tap must be accommodated via the pointed head end.

(f) Licensee will provide ASTM with a list of authorized IP (numeric IP domain addresses) addresses and, if Multi-Site, a list of authorized sites.

Threads are standardized and normed in an ISO standard. These describe, among other things, flank angle, thread diameter, pitch, shank, tolerance zone.

1.3 The calculation method described in these test methods is applicable only to the range of chemical compositions that follow:

Which internal tap you use depends primarily on the factors of application, time and quantity. For example, it makes sense to use a machine tap if you want to cut many threads quickly (series production).

Licensee agrees to submit to jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of Pennsylvania for any dispute which may arise under this Agreement. Licensee also agrees to waive any claim of immunity it may possess.

On both sides of our hand taps and machine taps you will find a product filter in the left column. Here you can filter the taps according to applications (steel, aluminium, plastics, etc.) or technical data (type of thread, cutting direction, shank, etc.) and thus select the suitable internal tap.

1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Colour ring on machine tap We use the color ring on the shank of the machine tap to identify the tool steel from which the tap is made. The ring therefore serves as an orientation aid for the tool steel used.

(e) Licensee will undertake all necessary authentication and verification processes to ensure only Authorized Users can access the ASTM Product.

(d) the right to display, download and distribute hard copies of Documents for training Authorized Users or groups of Authorized Users.

1.4 Hardenability is a measure of the depth to which steel will harden when quenched from its austenitizing temperature (Table 1). It is measured quantitatively, usually by noting the extent or depth of hardening of a standard size and shape of test specimen in a standardized quench. In the end-quench test the depth of hardening is the distance along the specimen from the quenched end which correlates to a given hardness level.

In addition to the effort required, the three working steps of the hand tap protect the tap from excessive wear (drill breakage). The graph shows the percentage of workpiece removal during cutting with the various cutters.

A. The term of this Agreement is _____________ ("Subscription Period"). Access to the Product is for the Subscription Period only. This Agreement will remain in effect thereafter for successive Subscription Periods so long as annual subscription fees, as such may change from time to time, are paid. Licensee and/or ASTM have the right to terminate this Agreement at the end of a Subscription Period by written notice given at least 30 days in advance.

4. Do you cut a through hole or blind hole? Here you decide how many threads you need and in which direction the chip should be removed from the hole. Which hole the tap is suitable for is usually written on the packaging.

1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

Rings for hand tap sets The taper tap is marked with a ring and the second tap with two rings on the shank. The final tap has no ring (in rare cases three rings).

(iii) Multi-Site:an organization or company with independently administered multiple locations within one city; or an organization or company located in more than one city, state or country, with central administration for all locations.

A. Some ASTM Products use standard Internet HTML format.  ASTM reserves the right to change such format upon three [3] months' notice to Licensee, although ASTM will make reasonable efforts to use commonly available formats.  The Licensee and the Authorized Users are responsible for obtaining at their expense suitable Internet connections, Web browsers, and licenses for any software necessary to view the ASTM Products.

(i) This License describes all permitted uses. Any other use is prohibited, is a violation of this Agreement and can result in immediate termination of this License.

The 3-piece hand tap set consists of taper, second, and final tap. The thread profiles are different here; the taper and second tap do not have a complete profile, only the final tap cuts the entire thread.

1.2 The selection of the test method to be used for determining the hardenability of a given steel shall be agreed upon between the supplier and user. The Certified Material Test Report shall state the method of hardenability determination.

IMPORTANT- READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING THIS ASTM PRODUCT. By purchasing a subscription and clicking through this agreement, you are entering into a contract, and acknowledge that you have read this License Agreement, that you understand it and agree to be bound by its terms. If you do not agree to the terms of this License Agreement, promptly exit this page without entering the ASTM Product.

The threads influence the load of the torque on the tap, and thus also the service life. They also influence the tapping and centering behavior. The more threads a tap has, the less forces act during tapping.

Left-hand cutting threads are used if the screw could loosen due to stress. This happens e.g. with the attachment of grinding wheels and circular saw blades, with the hose attachment to the gas cylinder (here as a safety feature) or with the left pedal of a bicycle. In these cases, a left-hand thread (counterclockwise) is cut.

The straight flute is used for through holes as the chip crumbles and falls through the hole. For blind holes it is advantageous to use taps with spiral flutes as the chip is removed from the hole against the cutting direction.

B. The ASTM Products are also available in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format to Licensee and its Authorized Users, who are solely responsible for installing and configuring the appropriate Adobe Acrobat Reader software.

3. Is it a left or right cutting thread?? Look at the screw or the counterpart to be screwed in. Your thread must also be cut in the same direction.

3.1 This test method covers the procedure for determining the hardenability of steel by the end-quench or Jominy test. The test consists of water quenching one end of a cylindrical test specimen 1.0 in. in diameter and measuring the hardening response as a function of the distance from the quenched end.
