| Dimensional specifications for NPT and BSP pipe thread sizes used in plumbing, hydraulic, and gas fittings worldwide. For each nominal pipe size within each standard, gives threads per inch, pitch, major diameter, and minor diameter — the numbers needed to identify an unknown thread or confirm whether two fittings will mate. Combines American (ASME B1.20.1) and British/ISO (ISO 228, ISO 7) standards in one table so the critical differences are visible side by side. |

|
| ## Provenance — what every record carries |
|
|
| Every record carries `source` (the URL the value was read from) and |
| `source_quote` (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you |
| cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; |
| these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on |
| the canonical site at its `url`. |
|
|
| ## Licence position |
|
|
| factual compilation of thread dimensions from public reference sources; facts cited with attributed quotes, no standard document reproduced |
|
|
| Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a |
| fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it. |
