How to Model NPT Threads in Solidworks

By rmontifar | Hardware, Mechanical, Software | 2 comments | 27 October, 2016 | 24

National Pipe Thread Taper or NPT threaded pipes and fittings are deployed in a variety of fields where transportation or containment of liquids, gases, steam, or hydraulic fluid is required. The NPT geometry allows internal and external thread surfaces to further engage when torque is applied to the thread assembly. This creates a fluid-tight seal.Read more

This is one of those projects I’ve wanted to do for a while and finally all the pieces are coming together. I hated the user interface on my home sprinkler system. Despite an engineering degree and a P.E. license, the Hunter Pro-C controller in my garage regularly humiliated me with both under and over wateredRead more

Length Tuning in Altium Just Got Better

By dchesney | Hardware | 0 comment | 23 July, 2014 | 0

High speed signal routing is often the most time-consuming and cumbersome aspect of laying out a pcb. In a handheld device with multiple DDR3 SDRAM chips, FLASH, USB, and more, there may be 100+ signals that need to be carefully tuned in a very confined space. In previous versions of Altium, length tuning created a serious of individualRead more
