NPT (National Pipe Taper) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) are both types of thread standards used in hydraulic systems. The primary difference is that NPT threads require a sealant to ensure a leak-proof connection, while NPTF threads are designed to create a dry seal without the need for additional sealants, as they have tighter tolerances and are engineered to compress and seal on their own. This makes NPTF more suitable for applications where leakage prevention is critical.
