It carries a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which provides thermal resistance and extended tool life across a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert follows a 3IR style geometry with a 60-degree included angle and cuts at 11.5 threads per inch  -  the standard pitch for NPTF tapered pipe threads. With an inscribed circle of 9.53 mm (3\/8 inch) and a thickness of 3.6 mm, it fits standard 3IR toolholders. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for internal tapered pipe thread applications where a pressure-tight, dryseal fit is required without relying on a thread sealant. The NPTF standard, governed by ANSI B1.20.3-1976, demands accurate thread form and is common in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer component machining. The universal primary workpiece material rating  -  covering material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S  -  means this insert handles carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys without a grade change. Right-hand cutting orientation is standard for conventional internal threading passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with PVD TiAlN coating for heat resistance and wear life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11.5 TPI pitch matches NPTF tapered pipe thread standard per ANSI B1.20.3-1976\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3IR insert style with 60-degree included angle fits standard 3IR internal threading toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.53 mm (3\/8 inch) inscribed circle and 3.6 mm thickness for consistent seating and indexing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal workpiece material compatibility across steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, and superalloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand, single-tooth-per-side geometry for controlled threading passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for standard 3IR-style internal threading toolholders.

Secure the insert with the appropriate torx or clamp screw to the toolholder manufacturer's recommended procedure before engaging the spindle. Confirm correct thread pitch and tool offset in the CNC controller before taking the first pass. Inspect the insert edge for chipping between jobs, as a damaged edge on a tapered thread form will produce out-of-tolerance dryseal fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3IR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.53 mm (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal (H, K, M, N, P, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Teeth Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.20.3-1976\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuality Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23291804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VARGUS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52347\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VARGUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67906433646898,"sku":"52347","price":314.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b0be16de9b93021a88a59cddd141b247_413f1ef9-1ee6-4e87-96d8-1fa641081a05.jpg?v=1791168126","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vargus-52347-laydown-threading-insert-11-5-tpi-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
