JIC 37 (Joint Industry Council) and NPT (National Pipe Taper) are both thread standards used in fluid and gas systems, but they have distinct differences. JIC 37 is characterized by a 37-degree flare seating surface and is primarily used in hydraulic applications to create a metal-to-metal seal, ensuring leak-free connections. In contrast, NPT threads are tapered and rely on the deformation of threads to create a seal, commonly used in plumbing and piping systems for low-pressure applications.
