Thread Content
For compressed air pipe fittings, such as straight male threaded connections, male threaded tees, male threaded ball valves, etc., what type of thread is generally used?
Generally, the threads of compressed air pipe connectors are either imperial or metric threads. Common thread standards include BSP (British Standard Pipe Thread), NPT (American Standard Pipe Thread), and Metric (metric threads). Different standards are chosen depending on the application and regional preferences*. For example, in Europe, BSP threads are quite common. In the United States, NPT threads are more common. .
