🔍 Key Concepts

• Tapered pipe threads and how they differ from straight threads • How seal is achieved in a threaded pipe joint (where does the tightness come from?) • What happens to contact pressure as a tapered male thread is tightened into a tapered female thread

💭 Think About

• When you screw a tapered male thread into a tapered female thread, what changes along the length of engagement? • Which option directly relates to how fluids are kept from escaping at the threaded joint? • Think about which purposes are side effects of taper and which one is the primary design reason for using tapered threads in piping systems.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice directly addresses fluid sealing rather than convenience or appearance. • Check which option best matches what happens as thread interference (metal-to-metal contact) increases along the taper. • Eliminate any choices that describe benefits that might happen but are not the main design purpose of tapering pipe threads.
