Image ANfitting.jpg thumb A 37 flare type end fitting for flexible hose The AN thread is a particular type of fitting used to connect flexible hoses and rigid metal tubing that carry fluid. It is a US military derived specification that dates back to World War II and stems from a joint standard agreed upon by the Army and Navy, hence AN. AN sizes range from 2 dash two to 32 in irregular steps, with each step equating to the OD outside diameter of the tubing in 1 16 increments. Therefore, a 8 AN size would be equal to 1 2 OD tube 8 x 1 16 1 2 . However, this system does not specify the ID inside diameter of the tubing because the tube wall can vary in thickness. Each AN size also uses its own standard thread size. AN fittings are a flare fitting , using 37 flare fitting flared tubing to form a metal metal seal. They are similar to other 37 flared fittings, such as JIC fitting JIC , which is their industrial variant. The two are interchangeable in theory, though this is typically not recommended due to the exacting specifications and demands of the aerospace industry. The differences between them relate to thread class and shape how tight a fit the threads are , and the metals used. Note that 37 AN and 45 SAE fittings and tooling are not interchangeable due to the different flaring angles. Mixing them can cause leakage at the flare. Originally controlled by the specification MS33656, but is now controlled by SAE AS4395. class wikitable border 1 Size comparison ref cite book last Smith first Carroll title Engineer to Win publisher Motorbooks International year 1984 page 184 url http books.google.com books?id S0sNFyNwPBYC&pg PA183 isbn 9780879381868 ref AN size 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 12 16 20 24 28 32 Tube OD Hose ID 1 8 3 16 1 4 5 16 3 8 1 2 5 8 3 4 1 1 1 4 1 1 2 1 3 4 2 SAE thread ... 4 12 2 1 2 12 Pipe thread size NPT 1 8 27 1 4 18 3 8 18 1 2 14 3 4 14 See also Flare fitting National pipe thread O ring boss seal Swage Threaded pipe References Reflist External links http aeromotiveinc.com ... more details

Crochet thread is specially formulated thread yarn thread usually made from mercerized cotton for crafting decorative crochet items such as doily doilies or filet crochet . Crochet thread produces fabric of fine gauge knitting gauge that may be stiffened with starch . Differences from yarn and sewing thread Crochet thread is almost always produced from cotton and has a denser pile and smaller diameter than ordinary yarn . Most crochet threads are thicker in diameter than sewing yarn. Crochet thread can withstand considerable stresses from pulls with sharp hooks. Crochet manufacturing conventions treat thread and yarn quite differently manufacturers designate different sizing scales for thread and yarn. Thread is generally packaged on spool s instead of skeins or hanks and is offered for sale in a separate section from ordinary yarns or threads. Crochet hooks for use with thread are also sized according to a different scale from yarn hooks. Thread hooks are also manufactured differently from yarn hooks modern yarn hooks are usually aluminum or plastic , while thread hooks are made of steel and have smaller hook heads and shorter shanks. The division between yarn and thread is somewhat arbitrary crochet thread at its thickest is similar in diameter and behavior to fine cotton yarn. The largest sizes of thread crochet hooks overlap with the smallest sizes of yarn crochet hooks.

The Abalakov thread , or V Thread , is an ice climbing Protecting ice ice protection device named after its inventor, Soviet climber Vitaly Abalakov . The Abalakov thread is a common method of protecting oneself while ice climbing because it is easy to create, doesn t require the sacrifice of expensive gear, and can be very safe when used properly. An Abalakov thread is often used in Multi pitch climbing multi pitch ice climbing routes. Because of its safety and convenience, the Abalakov thread is considered one of the most significant innovations in ice climbing. It significantly expanded the scope of possible routes and abseiling safety. An Abalakov thread can be constructed using an ice screw , 1 2 meters of appropriate strength cord, and hook like Abalakov threading device. Two holes are drilled in the ice, which interconnect at the ends to form a v like channel in the ice. The cord is then threaded through this hole, and tied with a knot such as a fisherman s knot . This loop is then used to hang the abseiling rope. Abalakov thread can only be constructed in solid ice. The holes need to be drilled at the correct angle about 45 50 degrees compared to ice surface , and care must be taken that they interconnect. The surfaces of the holes need to have sufficient distance about 17 20 cm between them. If the ice is not strong enough, it is possible to use two Abalakovs to balance the force, although if this is needed, an alternate route is strongly recommended. ref http www.climbingextreme.com ?p 161 ref Though the Abalakov thread is considered to be as strong as any ice screw placement, a backup ice screw is frequently used for the first abseil.

A security thread is a security feature of many bank note s to protect against counterfeiting , consisting of a thin ribbon that is threaded through the note s paper . ref cite web title Secret service url http www.secretservice.gov money design features1990.shtml ref Usually, the ribbon runs vertically, and is woven into the paper, so that it at some places emerges on the front side and at the remaining places at the rear side of the paper. Usually, it is made of metal Foil chemistry foil , but sometimes of plastic . Often, it has some text or numbers e.g., the denomination engraving engraved . Threads are embedded within the paper fiber and can be completely invisible or have a star burst effect, where the thread appears to weave in and out of the paper when viewed from one side. However when held up to the light the thread will always appear as a solid line. Features can be built into the thread material e.g., microprinting on a transparent plastic thread or adding materials so they fluoresce under ultraviolet light . The thread is a difficult feature to counterfeit but some counterfeiters have been known to print a thin grey line or a thin line of varnish in the area of the thread. Security threads can also be used as an anti counterfeiting device in passport s. They are generally made of plastic and contain microprinting.
