Note: Class B applies only to external threads. Internal threads are Class A.
BS EN ISO 228-1: 2003 data chart above revised and updated 12/20/11
These standard pipe threads are formally referred to by the following sequence of blocks:
the words "Pipe thread",
the document number of the standard (e.g., "ISO 7" or "EN 10226")
the symbol for the pipe thread type:
o G = external + internal parallel (ISO 228)
o R = external taper (ISO 7)
o Rp = internal parallel (ISO 7/1)
o Rc = internal taper (ISO 7)
o Rs = external parallel
the thread size
Threads are normally right-hand. For left-hand threads, the letters "LH" are appended.
Example: Pipe thread EN 10226 Rp 2
The terminology for the use of G and R originated from Germany (G for gas, as it was originally designed for use on gas pipes; R for rohr (meaning
pipe).)
