BSPP and NPT Threads in Hole callout

gregg_bennett

Would anyone know when we can expect further functionality within the hole feature to include BSPP BSPT and NPT threads?

@gregg_bennett We currently support tapered pipe threads in either NPT or ISO-7 standard format.  BSPT has really been harmonized/superceded with ISO-7 and ISO-7 is carrying that torch forward.  

 


We have yet to implement parallel pipe threads.

BSPT is definitely still required even if it is completely equivalent to ISO-7, because so many people are only familiar with the traditional BSPT name.

I never remember the ISO or EN standards - I'm always looking for BSPT. And there are a lot of different pipe threads in the world, so I want to be sure I'm working with BSPT. Most machine shops we deal with won't even know that BSPT comes under any other name, so for clarity I find it's always best to stick with a nice clear BSPT on drawings, rather than use something academically correct that is not understood without google.

I think the same goes for UI design.

I agree Oliver - I like to denote BSPT on drawings rather than a particular standard which forces them to search it up.
