High-Strength Sealed Connection: NPT (National Pipe Thread), an American standard tapered pipe thread, is a connection method that achieves metal-to-metal sealing through thread deformation. It offers superior sealing performance compared to ordinary straight threads in medium-to-high pressure systems (especially hydraulic, pneumatic, and instrument pipelines), effectively preventing leakage.
No Need for Additional Seals: Under ideal conditions, reliable sealing can be achieved solely through proper thread engagement and sealant. This eliminates the need for gaskets, bolts, and other accessories required for flange connections, simplifying the BOM (Bill of Materials).
Ultra-Compact Design, Space-Saving: NPT ends screw directly into equipment or pipe fittings without flanges or clamp bolts, minimizing the installation envelope size. It is the perfect choice for equipment with extremely limited space, such as machine tools, compressor interiors, test benches, and skid-mounted modules.
Ideal for Instrumentation and Auxiliary Pipelines: It serves as the industry-standard interface for connecting auxiliary systems including pressure gauges, sensors, control valves, and lubrication pipelines, featuring exceptional compatibility.
