Thread Designations and Standards for Threads
Used in Fluid Connectors
Abbreviation Description Applicable Std.
Straight Pipe
NPSC American Standard Straight Pipe Threads in Pipe Couplings ANSI B1.20.1
Couplings FED-STD-H28/7
NPSF Dryseal American Standard Fuel Internal Straight Pipe Threads (generally SAEJ476
used in soft or ductile materials to mate with NPTF external taper threads) ANSI B1.20.3
FED-STD-H28/8
NPSI Dryseal American Intermediate Internal Straight Pipe Threads (for brittle or SAE J476
hard materials; intended to mate with PTF-SAE short external taper threads) ANSI B1.20.3

FED-STD-H28/4
Table A48 — Thread Designations and Standards for Threads Used in Fluid Connectors (continued on the next page)
1) Used in some pneumatic components where shortened thread depth is required because of lack of enough material
due to component size limitations.
