Straight Pipe Thread

Engineering Asked by Andyz Smith on April 4, 2021

Is there any National Pipe Thread Straight (non-tapered, requires O-ring or compression olive) that is compatible, even loosely, with a machine thread threaded rod? I want to put a reducer on the end of a pipe threaded with NPTS and reduce to like 1/4 inch NPTS nominal and have that reducer ride on a 5/16-18 threaded rod. So it’s like a shoring jack or lolly column, but really cheap, and the threaded rod can fit through a small clearance and guide the end of the pipe to the bearing point.

NPS as defined in ASTM A 530 is all tapered and has no "O" rings or torque shoulders.

British Standard parallel pipe threads aren't tapered (as the name implies), BSPP for short. That might work for you.
