    American Standard Taper Pipe Threads

    Uploaded by

    Pablo Castro
    American Standard Taper Pipe Threads (NPT) have specific dimensional standards. The threads have a 60 degree angle between flanks and a 30 degree half angle from a line perpendicular to the axis. The crests can be truncated parallel to the pitch line or axis within specified minimum and maximum heights. Taper is 1 inch per 16 inches along the diameter, at an angle of 1 degree 47 minutes from the axis. Manufacturing tolerances allow the external thread diameter to be within one turn large or small of the basic dimension. The effective thread length includes two usable threads at the ends within imperfect crests against the vanish threads.

    American Standard Taper Pipe Threads

    Basic Dimensions

    The basic form of external NPT thread is shown in the figure below. The angle between the flanks of the threads is 60 measured in an axial plane. The 30 "half angle is measured from a line perpendicular to axis of the thread. The crests of the threads may be truncated either parallel to the pitch line or parallel to the axis. The height of thread and minimum and maximum truncation are given below for nominal pipe sizes of 1/16 thru 2". The crests of the threads may be either flat or rounded. Rounding of the roots, however, should be within the root truncation limits and not extend along the flanks of the thread beyond the maximum truncation. Taper on diameter is one inch in sixteen inches, or .75 inches per foot. The angle of taper is 1 47' from the axis.
    Manufacturing Tolerance

    The maximum allowable variation in diameters E0 and E, is one turn large or small from the basic dimension below. The external thread is within permissible tolerance when the gaging face of the working ring gage is not more than one turn, large or small, from being flush with the small end of the thread. The basic effective length of the external taper thread, L2, includes two usable threads with slightly imperfect crests located against the the vanish threads. The length, L,, is the normal engagement between external and internal taper threads when screwed together hand tight. For general low pressure (less than 300 pounds) applications, ring gage practice provides a satisfactory check of accumulated variations of taper, lead and angle deviations. NPT threads require the use of a sealer for tight joints.
