Steps On Doing The Pipes Die Threading

By Larry Wilson


Threading, in manufacturing, is referred to the process on the creation of screw thread. There are a lot methods being used in generating the threads and these would include subtractive, transformative or deformative, additive, or a combination of all these methods. The threading dies which are being used for the production of high volume threaded components are called the die heads.

For most procedures that are done in homes, this process will be used since threading pipes is considered as a primary procedure where updates and rapairs are necessary. The evolvement of machines used in die threading Chicago IL has been arising. Nowadays, there are many portable types that are made available in marketplaces having relatively expensive prices. However, many people still prefer to have these to be used in plumbing.

Renting or purchasing the manual machine from equipment retailers from Chicago IL for this process of threading. A die head is going to be attached to cut thread. Then after, the machine has now the capability to thread pipes that are made from different material types including those different types of resin and of plastic.

Checking or inspecting the threader first is very important before starting and replacing the dies or other parts that you have seen as worn out. To inspect would really be necessary if a machine is rented. But for the brand new ones, an inspection may not be that necessary but still is important. If the dies are damage and are worn out, this can possibly result to having poor quality thread.

Mount firmly a pipe into the vise by putting it into the vise then make sure that it is tightened. Squarely and cleanly cut the pipes end by the use of pipe cutter. If you acquire the industrial threader that has a cutting capability, make use of the machine when cutting the length of pipes. The cutters are available either with or without guides. These guides provide a square alignment. Guides are recommended rather than doing cut estimation.

Thin cutter wheels are also part of cutters in which the purpose is slicing through the pipes, while being guided into space. Make sure to provide the necessary protective gears like goggles to protect the eyes from sparks produced by the steel. Ream the pipe ends that are cut with a reamer for burrs to be removed.

Be sure to use the die head which is suitable to the size and type of a pipe and to the form of thread. Die heads are made available in different shapes and sizes including the different types of threads used in pipes with different diameters. Place the die head on top of pipe which is above the threader. Die heads front must be pressed steadily while the handle is being pushed down simultaneously to start the threader.

The leverage would be your weight when applying some pressure into the handle. Always remember to maintain a proper footing and proper balance to have maximum control. Using other mechanisms and tools when holding a handle should be avoided to prevent danger and serious injuries.

Apply a threading oil during the process. If the end of the dies are flat, cease the process against the pipe end. The ratchet mechanism is then reversed and the die head is turned to an opposite direction. Clean the pipe then attach it to the connector.
