One thing no one seems to mention either is that there are hydraulic npt fittings with somewhat of an inverted flare incorporated into the end of the hose end which mates to a protruding nipple in the mating fitting. This makes a npt which seals better for hydraulics nut I can find no information on this standard.
Very frustrating. Is there NPT with cone flare seat and inverted flare seat? Also military specs have details of straight conical fittings. MS, for instance. The straight threads either seal on the conical faces or with an o-ring at the base of the thread. No sealant is required for those fittings. Also, the thread series is either imperial US standard fine threads or Metric fine thread series and not tapered like pipe fittings.

The necessity to standardize screw threads began in earnest with the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the early nineteenth century. Standardization was needed to facilitate compatibility between different manufacturers and users. The U. Then, as president of Franklin Institute, he proposed a set of new standards for nuts, bolts and screws to replace the poorly standardized screw thread practice in the U.
His thread design gained wide acceptance largely because the flattened peaks and valleys, and the 60 degree angle was easier for ordinary machinists to manufacture and produce.
Over two decades earlier in Britain, in , Joseph Whitworth had proposed his thread design which was quickly adopted by many British railroad companies and became a national standard for the United Kingdom called British Standard Whitworth. Even though up through the s this standard was often used in the United States and Canada, it was not universally accepted, and often competed with many other standards used by a multitude of companies. Sellers thread eventually won out in the U. Plumbing Terms.

Pipe sizes do refer to physical dimensions, but the plumbing industry standard for the sizes of pipe is not always as straight-forward as measuring the pipe. Measuring the pipe will oftentimes mislead you into choosing the wrong pipe, so do take care. The "pipe thread size" as shown in column 3 of the table below is measured and based on the inside of the pipe. But, to actually determine the size of a pipe, the outside diameter of each pipe or fitting must be measured and compared to the table for size identification.
Each thread size has a defined number of threads per inch TPI. Both the TPI threads per inch and OD outside diameter of the thread are required for positive identification of thread size because several sizes have the same TPI.
