Panzergewinde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stahlpanzerrohrgewinde (German: [ˈʃtaːlˌpantsɐʁoːɐ̯.ɡəˌvɪndə], "steel conduit thread") standard for screw threads, more often called by the shortened Panzergewinde (German: [ˈpantsɐɡəˌvɪndə]), was a technical standard created in Germany and subsequently used in Switzerland, Austria, and other neighboring European countries. It has been retracted. The thread is used to join pieces of electrical conduit and cable glands.

Alternative stylings of the German name are Stahl-Panzer-Rohr-Gewinde, an abbreviated form StaPa-Rohr-Gewinde, and the acronym PG.
