Pipe thread strength calculation

I want to calculate what is the maximum axial force (to yield point) between two steel pipes (with relative large diameter, for example 4") that are connected with pipe thread with a pipe coupling. And to compare the results for the BSPP thread and the NPT.

No need for tightness or pressure sealing.

Could you help?

First, you need to determine the thread stress areas of the threades of interest. Then the number threads and total amount of thread stress area.

The rest is simply force/area.

See /mechanics_material_menu.shtml

Thank you for your answer.
You mean to calculate as if it was a screw thread?
Is there not any special consideration for pipe thread (for example, the quality of the thread or the ovality of the pipe)?

Well, I guess I could consider such parameters.

Another question: Is there any concentration factor for the stress on the root of the pipe thread?
