Two common types of profile are :

metric tube

metric and inch

tube

male thread

male thread

BSP parallel

BSP taper

BSP parallel

BSP taper

taper : which can be assembled in the same

parallel or taper thread. Sealing is ensured by
thread coating.

thread designation

thread

parallel : which can be assembled with the

compatible parallel thread. Sealing is ensured by
washer face.

exterior threads (male)

- BSP parallel : G followed by the description,
according to standard ISO 228-1
example : 1/8 thread BSP parallel G1/8
- BSP taper : R followed by the description,
according to standard ISO 7-1
example : 1/8 thread BSP taper R1/8

inner threads (female)

- BSP parallel : Rp followed by the description
- BSP taper : Rc followed by the description

NPT threads

metric threads

metric and inch

metric threads
These ISO profile threads are parallel type threads
which can be assembled with the compatible parallel
thread. Sealing is ensured by washer face.

to standards ISO 68-1 and ISO 965-1
example : M7x1

NPT is an American taper thread standard ANSI B2

1968. They can be assembled on the same taper
thread. Sealing is ensured by thread coating.
