Convert AN sizes to metric?

[cat007]

Hey all

I'm after a female M16 with 1.5mm thread pitched to a hose barb - and wondering if there's a relation between the AN style fittings to the metric M16 sizes?

i.e. is am M16 the same as a -16AN?

My Google skills actually worked today - HURRAY!

Found on a website:

A #7 AN fitting is a 7/16"

A #9 AN is 9/16"

A #10AN is 10/16" or 5/8" if you reduce it.

THe -AN # is a part of a fraction in which the second # is always 16.


So that's interesting - something I didn't know. Problem being is 16mm is half way between 5/8ths (10/16ths - or -10AN) and 41/64ths.....

Wonder if -10AN will work....what's 0.2mm between friends? haha

That's the diameter, the TPI will not be the same as a metric 1.5

You would have found this

Down here in Wellington there is W.R. Twigg that sells all manor of fittings, like a M16x1.5 Barb.

The thread will definitely not work. Unless you are into cross-threading thread. The only thread I was able to convert with success is 1/8 NPT to M10x1, by running a tap over it.

The hose sizes could probably fit, but where do you get metric hose from?
16mm will be slightly looser than #10AN (by about 0.2 mm). Anyway there is either choice between 15mm or 16mm in metric sizes.

Not so much into cross-threading - or dressing!

-10 and -10 hose tight fit over 16mm hose barb, why not?
