1/4 Thread

As a general “rule of thumb” an NPT thread is approximately 1/4" (0.25”) larger than its “name.” For a 1/4" NPT fitting the “nominal” OD is 0.533”. NPT fittings are slightly tapered so the “nominal” diameter is the diameter in the middle of the threaded portion, as measured by the top (crest) of the threads.

What is a 1/4 thread in mm?

What is a 1/4 BSP thread?

Measure the Inside of a Female Thread Port: If it is 11.9mm Internal Diameter — then the actual port size is a Female 1/4" BSP Thread. If it is 15.2mm Internal Diameter — then the actual port size is a Female 3/8" BSP Thread. If it is 19.1mm Internal Diameter — then the actual port size is a Female 1/2" BSP Thread.

Is BSP and NPT the same?

NPT and BSP threads are not interchangeable due to the differences in thread forms. NPT threads are pointed in the peaks and valleys, where BSPs are rounded. Most notably, the NPT thread angle is 60 degrees versus the BSP 55-degree angle.

How do I know if my thread is NPT or BSP?

The way to tell the difference between the two is the flank angle. The flank angle for NPT is 60° compared to the BSP tapered which is 55° (this can be verified with a thread gauge). BSP threads are measured in imperial measurements such as 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 etc.

Does NPT fit into BSP?

NPT/NPS and BSP threads are not compatible due to the differences in their thread forms, and not just the fact that most sizes have a different pitch.

Is a #12 screw the same as 1 4?

The diameters listed in the chart below are in fractions of an inch, so the #12 is just shy of 1/4 inch. A more detailed table with thread count can be found below, along with tap drill sizes. Detailed screw sizes charts.

How do I determine thread size?

Use a pitch gauge. And check the thread against each form until you find a match. Some fractional

What are thread sizes?

Thread sizes in inches are specified by diameter and threads per inch. For example, in the screw size 10-24, the first digit refers to the thread diameter, the and second digit is threads-per-inch (TPI). When the diameter smaller than 1/4”, the value is indicated by a number, like #1 or No. 1.

Are M6 and 1/4 the same?

6mm equal to 0.2362 inches. Your 6mm spinner will "work" on a 1/4" shaft, but you may have to ream out the hole a little to get it to slide on easily.

What size screw has a 1/4 head?

Are #14 and 1/4 screws the same?

#14 is close to, but not exactly the same as, 1/4-inch.) The major diameter in Unified threads = 0.060″ + 0.013″ x (numbered diameter). So #2 has a major diameter of 0.086″. The odd numbers exist, but the even numbers are in far more common use.”

How thick is a #10 screw?

10-32 screws have a diameter of 3/16″ (4.8mm) where as 12-24 screws have a diameter of 7/32″ (5.6mm).

What are standard screw sizes?

Machine screws are often found in sizes of: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14—the larger the number, the larger the screw. Machine screws, but especially caps screws and bolts, can range from 1/4 inch up to 3 inches or more.

Who uses NPT thread?

NPT is used in the United States and Canada. Are there any other differences? NPT and BSP have a slight difference in the designs, making them incompatible with one another. BSP have rounded peaks and valleys and a 55 degree angle of the thread.

Is UNF the same as NPT?

UNF is Unified Fine thread, the successor to the obsolete National Fine (NF) thread. NPT National pipe thread is used (in the U.S.) for plumbing of water and gas pipes, and threaded electrical conduit. NPT is defined by ANSI/ASME standard B1. 20.1, American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread.
