How to ensure the thread accuracy of HDPE threaded fittings

As an important connecting component of the pipeline system, the thread accuracy of HDPE threaded fittings is directly related to the sealing and mechanical strength of the connection, affecting the safety and durability of the entire pipeline network. High-precision threads not only improve installation efficiency, but also reduce the risk of leakage and improve the overall performance of the pipeline system.

1. High-quality raw materials ensure the stability of thread forming
The molecular structure and uniformity of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) raw materials are the basis for ensuring the accuracy of thread processing. High-quality HDPE raw materials have good fluidity and thermal stability, avoiding thread deformation caused by uneven material expansion or contraction during processing. Imported high-purity HDPE is used, and after strict screening and pretreatment, the material performance is consistent, which improves the repeatability and stability of thread forming.

2. Advanced CNC equipment achieves high-precision processing
The accuracy of the thread depends on the precision of the processing equipment and the control of the processing technology. Modern CNC lathes and thread cutting equipment have high positioning accuracy and stable cutting capabilities, and can achieve micron-level dimensional control. Through the automated CNC system, the thread cutter performs precise cutting according to the preset parameters to ensure that the pitch, tooth angle and tooth depth meet the design standards. Regular calibration and maintenance of the equipment ensures continuous and stable processing accuracy.

3. Reasonable design of thread structure parameters
The design parameters of the thread directly affect the fit and sealing effect of the thread. Use thread types that meet international standards (such as metric threads and imperial threads), and adjust the tooth angle, tooth pitch and tooth width according to application requirements. Optimize the design of the thread contact surface to improve meshing efficiency and reduce stress concentration. The flexibility and thermal expansion characteristics of HDPE materials are fully considered during the design process to ensure the stability of the thread size after molding.

4. Strictly control the processing environment conditions
The temperature and humidity of the processing environment have a significant impact on the molding accuracy of HDPE threads. The processing workshop should maintain constant temperature and humidity to avoid dimensional changes of materials due to environmental changes. Avoid dust and impurities from interfering with thread molding during processing. Environmental control ensures the accuracy and stability of thread dimensions and reduces errors during later installation.

5. Use high-quality thread tools and molds
The material and precision of thread processing tools and molds are important factors affecting thread quality. Use alloy tools with high hardness and strong wear resistance to ensure the sharpness and dimensional stability of the tools during long-term processing. The thread mold needs to be precisely processed and polished to ensure the smooth surface of the molded thread and reduce friction and jamming. Periodic inspection and maintenance of tools and molds ensure continuous high-precision production.

6. Implement a full-process quality monitoring system
During the thread processing process, a complete quality monitoring system is established. Use online measuring instruments to monitor key dimensions such as thread pitch, thread angle, and thread height in real time. Through high-precision testing equipment such as laser measurement and three-coordinate measuring machines, sample inspection of finished threads is carried out to ensure that product dimensions meet design requirements. Inspection data records enable traceability of the production process and ensure consistent quality of batch products.
