RE: What is "API" thread?
API has been developing standards for the industry since 1924. Originally, standards were developed to assure that equipment was compatible. For example, a standard was developed so that the threads on the end of a section of pipe would match up with any other section of pipe, regardless of who manufactured it.

RE: What is "API" thread?
API line pipe threads are identical (and will mate with) in most respects to NPT with the exception that there is a counterbore in the female or "box" that covers the partial threads on the male or "pin". there are also NUE and EUE and Buttress threads that API cover as well.
