NPT Pressure stands for National Pipe Thread Pressure, which refers to the pressure rating of a pipe thread. This rating determines the maximum pressure that the pipe thread can safely withstand without failure. It is important to match the NPT pressure rating with the pressure requirements of the system to prevent leaks or ruptures.
