How do you calculate NPT Drill size?

As a rule of thumb, for Metric threads, the tapping drill can be calculated by subtracting the pitch from the diameter of the thread. eg for an M5x0. 75 thread the tapping drill is 5-0.75mm = 4.25mm. For Imperial (inch) threads the tapping drill size is calculated in the same way, diameter minus pitch.

M10x1 and 1/8npt are almost exactly the same pitch and the small end of the 1/8npt taper is almost an exact match to the M10x1, the tap will just wind in without any cross thread at all.

Is NPT the same as BSP?

NPT and BSP threads are not interchangeable due to the differences in thread forms. NPT threads are pointed in the peaks and valleys, where BSPs are rounded. Most notably, the NPT thread angle is 60 degrees versus the BSP 55-degree angle.

How deep should a NPT tap go?

Most standard pipe taps have a maximum chamfer length that ranges between 3 and 4 threads. Therefore, the tapping depth should be the approx. 5 threads for the “hand tight”, 3 threads for “wrench tight”, and 4 threads for the chamfer, or approx. 12 threads total.

What is NPT for piping?

NPT (or National Pipe Taper) is a U.S. standard for tapered threads widely used on pipes and fittings for over 100 years. NPT connections rely on thread deformation- a metal to metal sealing design where the threads of the connectors themselves form together.

What does BSPT stand for?

BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) is similar to NPT except there are important differences. The angle across the flanks of threads (if you sliced the fitting in half long-ways and measured the angle from root to crest to root) is 55 degrees instead of 60 degrees as it is for NPT.

What is the difference between BSP and BSPT?

BSPP is also called G thread, which is BSP parallel thread. To form a seal or connection by 60 cone or washer or O-ring on the boss. And BSPT is a taper thread, it creates a seal by thread. Both Threads have the same pitch and angle 55 degree.

Is MIP the same as NPT?

Yes, NPT (national pipe thread) has the same thread dimensions as an MIP (male iron pipe) and FIP (female iron pipe).

Is NPT measured by ID or OD?

How are they measured? NPT fittings are listed by the “standard” inner diameter (I.D.) of the fitting. (We put “standard” in quotes because the I.D. of the fitting will vary, depending on the manufacturer.) The outer diameter (O.D.) of the threads is usually about 1/4 (0.250) in.

What are NPT sizes?

Commonly used sizes are 1⁄8, 1⁄4, 3⁄8, 1⁄2, 3⁄4, 1, 11⁄4, 11⁄2, 2, 21⁄2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 inch, as pipe and fittings by most U.S. suppliers. Sizes smaller than 1⁄8 inch are occasionally used for compressed air, while sizes larger than 6 inches are often joined by other methods.
