The availability of blanking dimensions on this document doesn’t imply all grades or material are
compliant with this VAM® connection.

Blanking Dimensions are the final dimensions.

WARNING: If not in full compliance with the below sketch and figures, blanking dimensions have to conform to specific VAM®
standards available for VAM® licensees or must be agreed on a case by case after a VAM® engineering review. In case of doubt
please raise a question on Mr Help. Extra material (cutting stock) is strongly recommended on the blanked piece in order to cut the full
connection (thread, seal, shoulder, W, D1, D2) in the SAME machining sequence.

When extra material (cutting stock) is not included, particular care shall be taken during the rechuck centering: concentricity between
chuck axis and piece shall be measured circularyand longitudinally (on MBEL or MBIL, MPEL or MPIL) by means of the dial indicator.
Extra material (cutting stock) recommended value: 0.50 mm (0.020 inch) compared to radius
Concentricity Max value: 0.10 mm (0.0039 inch).

Transition angles definition with values and tolerances are available on the last revision of TSLI 243. In case you don’t have acces to
TSLI 243 please check this parameter with a VAM® licensee or ask on Mr. Help.
Blanking dimensions available cover also the legacy of a large number of VAM® connections. Please note that some of them are
obsolete and no more available in the current VAM® connections portfolio.
