Difference Between BSPT and NPT
The two most popular thread styles in the world are British Standard Pipe Tapered (BSPT) and National Pipe Thread (NPT). For those who do not know what pipe threads are, they are designed to provide connections for the transfer of fluids, gases, steam, or hydraulic fluid. Both BSPT and NPT threads are tapered, which aids in sealing. Process industries use different kinds of sealing for pressure systems depending on the geographical region, size of the pressure system, and the environment.
