Guide: Thread table - choose the right thread type and size

Thread table for cylindrical threads

Choosing the right thread type and dimension is crucial to ensure a tight, stable and durable connection between parts. The table below gives you a clear overview of common cylindrical threads, their properties and exact dimensions - so you can quickly and easily identify the right thread size for your application.

How do I measure the gang dimension?

Measure the outside diameter and pitch (threads per inch). Compare the values against the table columns to find the correct thread size.

What is the difference between BSP (G/R) and NPT?

BSP has a 55° thread angle (G = parallel/BSPP, R = taper/BSPT), NPT has 60° and is tapered. They are therefore not normally compatible.

How do I use the thread table?

1) Measure outside diameter. 2) Determine pitch/thread count. 3) Match against the table columns for each thread type to identify size.
