Strength of 3/4" iron pipe threads.

Thanks,

Here ya' go, Stu:

3/4" iron pipe threads produce 32,450 ksi inverted shear strength. That is,
assuming you've torqued the joint to a value between 86.5 and 86.6 ft-lb,
backed off a half-turn, and re-tightened by 11/16 of a turn.

Enjoy!

You can get at least 23.76% more than that if you use unobtanium pipe.
