In NPT threads chamfers are not required, although a chamfer may be present, there are no specifications on the angle and depth of the chamfer. This creates a lead-in chamfer at the end of the thread. This is a result of the chamfer on the die during fabrication, which creates imperfect threads at the and of the thread. At the bottom of the PropertyManager of the Hole Thread, the text can be edited to any note and can be later automatically imported in the 2D drawing of the model.

NPT is defined by ANSI/AMSE standard B1.20.1, and in this article we’ll be specifically referencing the ANSI/ASME B1.20.1-1983, including its charts and tables. First, you’ll want to ensure you got the right size drill bit. In our case, we need anR-shaped drill bit equivalent to 0.339 inches or 8.61 mm. I hope this information was useful and will hopefully come in handy for those of you looking for the answer!If you’re working with a 1/8″ NPT tap, one of the key things you need to know is the correct drill bit size. So, let me clear that up for you! Pitch, P: Corresponding to the Threads per Inch of the given pipe, e.g. this 1-1/2 NPT Pipe Size at 11-1/2 Threads per Inch will have a pitch of 1÷11-1/2 or .087. External Thread Overall Length, L4: Total length of the external threads, included incomplete threads, or longer just as long as the total thread length is covered.

Sizes and dimensions of pipes and tubes, and their fittings - inside and outside diameter, weight and more. These values may also be acquired using the formulas contained in the ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. Note that the listed dimensions are in inches and are given to four or five decimal places only to avoid errors in computation, these do not indicate required precision. For other types of tapered threads such as Aeronautical National External Threads, ANPT, the end must be chamfered 45° with a specified depth define in the ASE AS71051 Standard. To account for tolerance and precision during the fabrication of these threads, refer to guides such as this one, which explains how to use external and internal NPT thread gauges. These go-no-go gauges control quality of NPT threads during fabrication.

First up, we have the trusty old steel taps. These bad boys are a reliable option for those on a budget but remember that they might not be the best choice for heavy-duty or precision work. Width of Flat, F: Width of the flat caused by truncation, or shortening of the thread crest or root.
