Hi Folks,
Does anyone know where to get NATO thread specifications. Specifically for respirator (gas mask) canisters where they screw into the mask. They look kinda like plastic bottle threads. The only information I was given was NATO DIN 40, 40 being 40mm major diameter. I was also given a sample cannister, but the molded plastic has lost alot of the detail. This is for a test/calibration adapter for these masks, so it has to fit all masks that use that particular thread mounting configuration. If I design the threads within the tolerance of the spec., it should work with everything. If I reverse engineer it from what I have, who knows.
I did some searching on NATO specs. Never dealt with them before, but they appear to be an international military standard similar to our MIL spec.. Tons and tons of information about everything. I was just wondering if someone here has already been there.
Regards
Mark
