5B Update: Angle & Form

API 5B 5.6 ANGLE & THREAD FORM MEASUREMENT

Per API 5B 5.6.2, thread form and angles “shall be assessed with an Optical Comparator/Profile Projector[…]” Further, 5.6.4 requires “comparing the thread profile image with that of a toleranced overlay.” 

Mitutoyo Optical Comparator and Gagemaker Overlay

For all 5B threads listed under section 4.9, measuring form and angle are now mandated. An optical comparator with Gagemaker’s toleranced overlays meet all your needs and requirements.
