BSPT threads interchangeable with NPTF threads
BSPT threads interchangeable with NPTF threads
(OP)
I am looking for technical information on why BSPT threads in 3/4" and NPTF threads cannot be used together. I have been told and read a lot of info that says we cannot use them, but nothing that tells me why. Certain people in my company says it can be done and is no big deal. We mass produce parts going to Europe and they want to do it on a regular basis.

We ripped the system out.
From my experience, never mix different threadforms: each has been carefully designed to fulfil a specific requirement and mixing them just leads to trouble.
