60º Pitch
• NPT Thread = National Pipe Thread
• Taper rate for all NPT threads is 1/16
• The taper on NPT threads allows them to form a seal when torqued as the
flanks of the threads compress against each other, as opposed to straight
thread fittings
conicity: 6.25%

• Designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter and the
pitch, both expressed in millimeters and separated by the multiplication sign ‘×’
