Are Threads in Tungsten Carbide Nozzles Important? —— 3 Core Functions and Selection Criteria for High-Quality Threads
Is the thread of a tungsten carbide nozzle important?
I. The Overlooked Industrial “Lifeline”: 3 Core Impacts of Threads on Nozzle Performance
In high-pressure and high-wear scenarios such as oil drilling, mining, and metal processing, the threads of tungsten carbide nozzles are far more than just “connectors.” They are critical factors determining equipment stability, production efficiency, and even safety thresholds. Below, we analyze the importance of threads through three core scenarios:
1. Sealing Performance: The Million-Dollar Loss Caused by a 0.01mm Error
Common Thread Defects
Impact on Production
Our High-Quality Thread Solution
Uneven pitch, rough tooth surface
■ Fluid leakage under high pressure, material waste rate up to 15%-20% ■ Corrosive liquid leakage causing equipment corrosion (chemical industry) ■ Mud leakage leading to drill bit failure and increased downtime costs (oil drilling)
Adopts ISO 965-1 high-precision thread standard with micron-level grinding Tooth surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm, passed 1000bar pressure test with 0% leakage
2. Structural Strength: The “Anti-Loosening Code” in Vibrating Environments
In working conditions with high-frequency vibration (drilling equipment) or continuous impact (mining machinery), thread design directly affects nozzle service life:
Problems with ordinary threads: ■ Stress concentration due to tooth angle deviation, loosening rate exceeds 40% within 3 months ■ No anti-loosening treatment, 60% increased risk of thread wear and fracture under long-term vibration
Our solution: Special trapezoidal tooth shape (optimized 15° angle), 50% improved stress distribution Tungsten carbide coating on threads, 2x enhanced wear resistance, service life extended to over 12 months
3. Equipment Compatibility: The “Universal Key” for Global Working Conditions
Differences in equipment interface standards across countries/regions (e.g., NPT in the U.S., BSP in the UK, M series in China) make model selection a challenge:
Our thread customization capabilities: Support 10+ international thread standards (see Table 1) Custom special tooth shapes (e.g., buttress thread, 惠氏螺纹) according to customer drawings Provide thread tolerance grades (precision class 6H/6g to general class 8H/8g)

II. How to Judge if Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Threads Meet Standards? 4 Detection Dimensions Revealed
Choosing high-quality threads requires focusing on the manufacturer’s technical capabilities:
Machining Equipment: Whether using German Zeiss CMM and Japanese Mazak CNC grinders (precision up to 0.001mm)
Testing Standards: Whether certified to API Spec 5B (petroleum industry) or ISO 4776 (general industry)
Surface Treatment: Whether offering anti-corrosion solutions like nickel plating, nitriding, or PVD coating (coastal conditions require salt spray test ≥500 hours)
Test Data: Require 实测报告 (measured reports) for pitch diameter, pitch, and tooth angle (as shown in Figure 2)

III. Our Thread Advantages: 3 Upgrades from “Usable” to “Durable”
As a 18-year tungsten carbide manufacturer, our thread design incorporates three core technologies:
1. Material Matching Optimization
For WC-Co tungsten carbide, thread bottom holes use “interference fit + stress relief groove” design to avoid brittle fracture
Alloy matrix with 10%-15% cobalt content, combined with HRC85-90 thread surface hardness, achieves rigidity-ductility balance
2. Full Process Control
Key process: Thread grinding uses diamond wheels with single feed ≤0.005mm
Quality inspection: 5000-cycle loading/unloading fatigue test for each batch to simulate full equipment lifecycle
3. Global Adaptation Solutions
Anti-freezing thread coatings for extreme cold conditions in Russia (-50℃)
Thermal expansion compensation thread structures for high-temperature/high-pressure environments in the Middle East (150℃/1500bar)
