BSP NPT Api Tapping

The document compares British Standard Pipe (BSP), National Pipe Thread (NPT), and American Petroleum Institute (API) pipe thread standards. It provides a table with the specifications for 14 different pipe sizes, including nominal size, thread form, major diameter, pitch, thread depth, and thread angle. The key points are that BSP threads should not be interchanged with NPT or API threads, but that NPT and API threads are considered interchangeable.

Information source: BS 21, ASA B2.1 and API Std. No. 5B


The following thread comparisons are for guidance only, for further details see
relevant standards.

Important: On no account must BSP threaded components be interchanged with


NPT or API. i. e. BSP components must not be screwed into NPT or API tapped
holes and vice versa.
NPT and API threaded components are considered interchangeable.
