The two most common taper pipe threads used in the United States are NPT and NPTF Applications range from electrical conduits and hand railings to high pressure pipe lines that carry gas or caustic fluids NPT threads are for mechanical or low pressure air or fluid applications and require the use of sealing compounds like Teflon tape to provide the seal
The taper rate for all NPT threads is 1⁄16 3⁄4 inch per foot measured by the change of diameter of the pipe thread over distance The angle between the taper and the center axis of the pipe is 1 176 47 ′ 24 quot ″ 1 7899 176 Commonly used sizes are 1 ⁄8 1 ⁄4 3 ⁄8 1⁄ 2 3⁄ 4 1 1 1⁄ 4 1 1⁄ 2 and 2 inch appearing on pipes and fittings by most U S suppliers Sizes

Hand Gaging of NPT American Pipe Threads There are two kinds of American pipe thread NPT and NPTF Both of these are tapered threads but when screwed together tightly the NPT and NPTF Class 1 leaves voids at the root and crest of the threads which to prevent spiral leakage need to be filled with a sealing compound at assembly

For gaging internal internal taper threads the plug gage is screwed up tight by hand into the internal thread of the product The thread is within the permissible tolerance when the gaging notch of the working plug gage is not more than 1 turn large or small from being flush with the end of the thread
There are no recognized L2 or L3 or 6 step gages for NPT threads The reason is that NPT threads are used with a sealing component like Teflon tape or pipe dope that makes up the leak proof seal The NPT thread is more forgiving of the wrench tight check that is required on NPTF dry seal and the taper or crest check is again not specified
