  • 1 inch = 25.4 mm
  • TPI - Threads per Inch
  • B1.20.1 Standard on Pipe Threads, General Purpose, Inch

Note that both NPT and NPS have the same thread angle, shape, and pitch (threads per inch). However, NPT threads are tapered and NPS threads are straight (parallel). Both threads have a 60° included angle and flat peaks and valleys.
