NPT is a U.S. standard for tapered threads used on pipes and fittings. They are used to effectively seal pipes for fluid and gas transfer. The nominal pipe <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/understanding-metric-and-inch-thread-sizes-in-fasteners\/\">size can be identified by physically measuring the thread<\/a> diameter, then subtracting 1\/4\u2033.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are available in iron or brass for low-pressure applications and carbon steel and stainless steel for high-pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NPTF (National Pipe Tapered Fuel) style connections are widely used in fluid power systems. They have a tapered thread by which a seal is made by deformation of the threads. NPTF Threads are measured at the thread diameter and subtracting 1\/4-inch to establish the nominal pipe size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NPTF-Fittings-Brennan.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NPTF-Fittings-Brennan.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9808\" width=\"312\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NPTF-Fittings-Brennan.png 453w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NPTF-Fittings-Brennan-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/NPTF-Fittings-Brennan-150x79.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>NPTF<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical) connections are also often found in fluid power systems.

These connectors are typically <a href=\"https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/what-is-brass\/\" title=\"\">brass<\/a> material. The male and female connections have 45\u00b0 seats, where the seal is made where the male flare and the female cone meet.

Intermixing the two different types of fittings will result in leakage, so use care in measuring seat angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAE J1453 (ORFS) O-ring Face Seal connections are considered the best for leak control. The male connector has a straight thread and an O-ring in the face. The female has a straight thread and a machined flat face. The seal takes place by compressing the O-ring onto the flat face of the female, similar to the split flange type fitting. The threads maintain the connection mechanically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ORSF-SAE-Fitting-Brennan.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ORSF-SAE-Fitting-Brennan.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9812\" width=\"313\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ORSF-SAE-Fitting-Brennan.png 450w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ORSF-SAE-Fitting-Brennan-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ORSF-SAE-Fitting-Brennan-150x77.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>SAE (ORFS)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>SAE J512 Inverted connections are typically used in automotive systems. The male connector is either a 45\u00b0 flare within the tube fitting or a 42\u00b0 seat in the machined adapter. The female incorporates a straight thread with a 42\u00b0 inverted flare. The fittings are sealed at the flared surfaces. These threads also maintain a mechanical connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAE J518 4-Bolt Flange* There are two pressure ratings for these connections: Code 61 which is considered the standard series and Code 62 which is the 6000 PSI series. The design is the same for each series, yet the flange head diameters and bolt hole spacing are larger for the 6000 PSI high-pressure Code 62 connection. The female port of the fitting is a smooth, un-threaded port with four bolt holes set in a rectangular pattern around the port. The male is a flanged head with a groove for an O-ring and either split or captive flange halves and bolt holes that match the port. The seal is made where the O-ring is compressed between the flanged head and the flat surface of the port. The connection is held by threaded bolts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Excluding bolt sizes, SAE J518, JIS B 8363, ISO\/DIS 6162, and DIN 20066 are interchangeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SAE-4-Bolt-Fitting-Brennan-1.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SAE-4-Bolt-Fitting-Brennan-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9815\" width=\"243\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SAE-4-Bolt-Fitting-Brennan-1.png 374w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SAE-4-Bolt-Fitting-Brennan-1-287x300.png 287w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SAE-4-Bolt-Fitting-Brennan-1-143x150.png 143w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>SAE 4 Bolt Flange<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>British Connections<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>British Standard Pipe (BSP) and BSPT (tapered) connections are comparable to NPT, except most sizes have a different thread pitch, plus the OD\u2019s and thread form are close, but not the same.

The connection is held by threaded bolts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ISO-DIS-Brennan.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ISO-DIS-Brennan.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9824\" width=\"266\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ISO-DIS-Brennan.png 414w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ISO-DIS-Brennan-300x290.png 300w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ISO-DIS-Brennan-150x145.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>ISO\/DIS 6162 4-Bolt Flange<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>ISO 6149 Port and Stud Ends with ISO 261 Threads and O-ring Seal though it is similar to the SAE J514 Straight Thread O-ring Boss (ORB), this type of connection incorporates metric threads.

The female port is also straight threads machined surface to provide a smooth, flat, accurately located surface (minimum spotface), along with a chamfer where the O-ring seats. It seals when the O-ring is compressed into the chamfer when mating the male connection.

Instrumentation fittings are widely used in fluid or gas transfer applications such as refineries, chemical plants, and food processing plants. The male end of a double-ferrule instrumentation fitting has a recessed counter-bore that matches the tube OD being used, plus an inner cone. The seal is made between the front ferrule and the cone. The tubing is held in place by the swaging action caused by the tightening of the nut, which forces the front and back ferrules to bite into the tubing, firmly holding it in place. This allows for the use of un-flared tubing with these connectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Double-Ferrule-Fitting-Brennan.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.misumiusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Double-Ferrule-Fitting-Brennan.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9826\" width=\"325\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Double-Ferrule-Fitting-Brennan.png 449w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Double-Ferrule-Fitting-Brennan-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/us.misumi-ec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Double-Ferrule-Fitting-Brennan-150x79.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Double Ferrule Fitting<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The single-ferrule instrumentation fitting is similar but has a larger front ferrule and no back ferrule.
