The Stahlpanzerrohrgewinde standard for screw threads,more often
called by the shorter name Panzergewinde(pronunciation), is a
technical standard created in Ger-many and subsequently used in
various countries, such asthe German-speaking zone (Germany,
Switzerland, Aus-tria) and neighboring European countries. The
Germanname "Stahlpanzerrohrgewinde" translates to English as'steel
conduit thread'. The thread is used to join pieces ofelectrical
conduit and cable glands.Alternative stylings of the German name
are Stahl-Panzer-Rohr-Gewinde and an abbreviated form,
StaPa-Rohr-Gewinde.The standard, codied by the Deutsches Institut
fr Nor-mung (DIN, German Institute for Standardization), isDIN
40430. Panzergewinde sizes are named with the pre-x PG plus a
nominal number which approximately cor-responds to the maximum
cable diameter (in millimeters)that can be passed through the
conduit.Because the walls of the conduit are usually
relativelythin, the thread depth should not be very large. Thus
athread angle of 80 is used. TheVerband der Elektrotech-nik,
