HIGH ASPECT RATIO THREADFORM

摘要

A threadform for a gate valve has a set of threads on a stem that engage a threaded receptacle of the gate. When the stem is rotated, the gate moves. The threads have a thread height to thread base thickness ratio that is at least the inverse of 0.7 times e raised to 0.388 divided by a nominal thread diameter of the threads. That ratio is at least 1.1.
