Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Working Committee NA 082-00-07 AA Rohrverschraubungen of the
Normenausschuss Rohrleitungen und Dampfkesselanlagen (NARD) (Piping and Boiler Plant Standards
Committee).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. DIN [and/or DKE] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

The publication of this standard was necessary because certain provisions in DIN EN ISO 9974-1 and
DIN EN ISO 9974-3 had to be deleted.

On the basis of the material used for stud ends having a tolerance of –0,2, this standard specifies a higher
tolerance for diameter d3, in deviation from DIN EN ISO 9974-3, so that another machined surface can be
produced.

The inclusion of this modification in the next revision of ISO 9974-3 is planned.

In the tables, dimensions marked ● are identical with those specified in DIN EN ISO 9974-1 and
DIN EN ISO 9974-3.

Annex A is informative.

Amendments

This standard differs from DIN 3852-1:2002-05 as follows:

a) the title of the standard has been modified;

b) dimensions for type C stud ends have been deleted from Table 1 and are now given in a new Table 2;

c) dimensions d3 for small stud ends as in DIN EN ISO 9974-3 have been deleted from Table 1;

d) dimensions d3 for large stud ends have been deleted from Table 1;
Normen-Download-Beuth-MANN + HUMMEL GmbH-KdNr.6902276-LfNr.7208876001-2015-10-07 08:14

e) dimensions for type Z ports have been deleted from Table 2 and are now given in a new Table 4;

f) dimensions for type A and type B stud ends for sizes M56x2, M60x2, M64x2 and M78x2 have been
deleted because they are no longer used in practice;

g) dimensions for type X and type Y ports for sizes M56x2, M60x2, M64x2 and M78x2 have been deleted
because they are no longer used in practice;

h) the designation and examples of designations have been modified;

i) the standard has been editorially revised.

1 Scope
This standard specifies the dimensions, types and designation of stud ends and ports with metric fine pitch
threads, for fittings, valves and plug screws (port plugs) for general use in fluid power.

This standard does not apply to new constructions in fluid power applications.

3 Types and dimensions

3.1 Stud ends

3.1.1 Types and dimensions

There are 3 types of stud ends depending on the sealing method:

a) Type A: with additional sealing element, e.g. sealing by washer as in DIN 7603 (see Figure 1);

b) Type B: metal-to-metal sealing (see Figure 2);

c) Type C: sealing by means of a tapered external thread and sealant (see Figure 3).

3.2.2 Screw threads

Type X and Y ports shall have a metric fine pitch thread as in DIN 13-5, DIN 13-6 and DIN 13-7.

Thread sizes in Table 3 marked ●, e.g. M14 × 1,5•, are not applicable to type X, in which case
DIN EN ISO 9974-1:2000-09 is to be used.

Type Z ports shall have a metric parallel thread as in DIN 158-1. This thread is to be designated in
accordance with DIN 13-14.

4 Designation
The designation of stud ends and ports conforming to this standard shall include the following items, given in
the order below:

a) Name: stud end or port;

b) Standard number: DIN 3852-1;

c) Type according to 3.1.1 or 3.2.1;

d) Letter symbol to denote the type: standard design (no symbol), short design (K);

e) Nominal thread size (e.g. M20 × 1,5 or M27 × 2).

EXAMPLE 1 Designation of a stud end type A (A) of standard design, thread size M20 × 1,5 (M20 × 1,5):

Stud end DIN 3852-1 — A — M20 × 1,5

EXAMPLE 2 Designation of a port type X (X) of standard design, thread size M24 × 1,5 (M24 × 1,5):

Port DIN 3852-1 — X — M24 × 1,5
