I'm working on a project and the measurements I have recieved lead me to believe this thread is a 13/16 20NEF. Can anyone conferm this?
Thanks in advance.
 
which thread exactly are you looking at? Are you making a din adapter?
to screw onto the thread that the yoke mounts to... retained by a circlip?

or do you want the handwheel thread?
I have one here I can measure if you like
 
Ok the threads are 20TPI with a 60 deg included angle, making them compatable with UN series... the major diam is 0.7750 taken from the unthreaded part.. this puts it between 49/64 (0.7656) and 25/32(0.7812) for the major... and a 20 TPI UN thread should have a depth of 0.045 so subtract this x2 for the minor.

You are probably looking at a custom thread the major you give of 13/16 seems way off at 0.8125 being 0.0375 over the actual... look in machinery's handbook for a full list of standard threads... of course you could cut the actual thread on any suitable lathe fairly easily...

all dims in inches
 
Shoulda mentioned, I have a Southbend out in the shop, and as of yesterday I have a Conshelf yoke and body too. :D
Thanks for responding Rob
 
A long overdue correction, your math is good, but in practice the crown of the threads is flattened or rounded, so when mic'd you get a smaller than theoritical reading.
 
Cool, good for you..
send some pics when you get a chance :) I started work on a reg of mine and a friends design, just for laughs using a balanced shuttle valve.. We were having trouble with getting the HP seat to seal last time I pressurized it, but have since acquired some square section o-rings that we want to try. looks like a typical prototype at the moment with stuff soldered on and bodged together where issues have been encountered and "fixed". I'd like to get it to work once,just so that I could assess if it works or not.

Regarding your threads:

I didn't bother with the crown and root chamfers, I just measured the OD of the part before cutting.

I just acquired a threading insert and holder. That thing is the dogs Boll***!! cuts the correct profile for you.

Another trick is to use part of a tap with the correct tpi's, grind away the parts that might interfere and then use that as a cutter.
