NPT (National Pipe Taper) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) are both standards for tapered threads used in hydraulic systems, but they serve different purposes. NPT is designed primarily for general-purpose connections where sealing is achieved with the use of a sealant or tape, whereas NPTF is a dry-seal version that creates a mechanical seal through metal-to-metal contact without the need for additional sealants, providing a tighter and more reliable seal in high-pressure applications.
