    This document provides specifications for American National Standard Taper Pipe Threads (NPT), including: - Dimensions for thread size, pitch, depth, taper, and other properties. - Explanations of key thread measurements like pitch diameter (E), length of normal thread engagement (L1), effective thread length (L2), and length of vanish thread. - Tolerances for checking threads with ring and plug gauges. - Notes that precise decimal dimensions are given to facilitate calculations but do not imply greater precision than normal manufacturing allows.

    = Pitch diameter at hand-tight plane.


    This is also the pitch diameter at the
    gauge plane.

    L1 = Length of normal hand-tight


    engagement. This is also the L1 gauge
    length. (Longer thread engagement
    may be used in special applications,
    such as flanges for high pressure use.
    In such cases the pitch diameter, E,
    remains as specified and the diameter
    at the end of the pipe is proportionally
    smaller.)

    18 = number of threads per inch


    NPT = symbol for the thread series and
    form (i.e., National (American)
    Standard Pipe, Taper)
    Tolerances
    When using L1 gauges to check threads,
    the thread is within permissible tolerance if
    the ring gauge face, or plug gauge notch,
    is +/- 1 turn from being flush with the end
    of the thread.

    Note Basic dimensions are given to four or five decimal places to eliminate errors when calculating
    gauge dimensions, they do not imply a greater degree of precisions than is normally obtainable.
    Metric dimensions, where shown, are calculated from the inch values and rounded.
