JIC (Joint Industry Council) and NPT (National Pipe Tapered) are both types of thread standards used in fluid connections, but they have distinct differences. JIC fittings use a 37-degree flare seating surface to create a seal and are primarily used in hydraulic systems. In contrast, NPT threads are tapered and rely on the threads themselves to create a seal, making them common in plumbing and piping systems where a leak-proof seal is necessary.
