The standard for NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) threads is defined by ANSI/ASME B1.20.3. NPTF threads are designed to provide a seal without the use of sealants by having a dryseal characteristic, which means the threads themselves form a seal through metal-to-metal contact. They are commonly used in applications where a leak-proof seal is critical, such as in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
