NPT, PT, G are pipe threads
NPT is National (American) Pipe Thread abbreviation, belonging to the US standard 60-degree cone pipe thread, for North America. National standards can be found in GB / T12716
PT is the abbreviation of Pipe Thread, is 55 degrees sealed cone thread, is a Wyeth thread family, used in Europe and Commonwealth countries. Commonly used in water and gas pipe industry, the taper is set at 1:16. National standards can be found in GB / T7306.
G is a 55 degree non-threaded sealing tube thread, is a Wyeth thread family. Mark G for cylindrical threads. National standards can be found in GB / T7307
The other 1/4, 1/2, 1/8 mark in the thread is the diameter of the thread, in inches. The insiders usually use the points to refer to the thread size, one inch is equal to 8 points, 1/4 inch is 2 points, and so on.
G is the pipe thread collectively (Guan), 55,60 degrees division of the functional, commonly known as the circle. The thread is made of a cylindrical surface.
ZG commonly known as the cone, the thread from a conical processing, the general water pipe joints are like this, the national standard marked as RcMetric threads are expressed in terms of pitch, which are expressed in terms of the number of threads per inch. This is their greatest difference,
Metric thread is 60 degrees and other side of the tooth type, inch thread is isometric waist 55 degrees, US-made thread 60 degrees.
Metric thread with metric units, the United States and Britain thread with British units.
Common thread: metric thread M; British W; US UNC, UNE, UNEF
Pipe thread: British PS, PT, PF; US NPS, NPT, NPTF, NPSM
The diameter of the airtight thread: CTV, TV 1 / 4-20 is 1A: 0.2367-0.2489 (6.012-6.322); 2A: 0.2408-0.2489 (6.116-6.322) 3A: 0.2419-0.2500 (6.1443-6.350).
Inch thread: Specification according to nominal size and number of teeth per inch
Such as 1/4 "-20, 3/4" -10, 1 "-8, 1/4" -20 that nominal size of 1/4 that is 6.35mm (25.4 except 4 = 6.35) So on and so forth.
