TwinBox Short machine tap Form C + reamer HSS-G NPT 1/16 x 27
€63.50
NPT is a conical pipe thread (taper ratio 1:16). Therefore the core hole should also be conical. For this purpose, VÖLKEL has developed the NPT TwinBoxes. Matching the NPT tap, the TwinBoxes contain precisely matching NPT reamers.
The advantage of a conical core hole when tapping NPT threads is that the tap has to cope with a considerably lower chip volume during tapping and is therefore less strained. The tool life time of the tap is thus increased and the surface of the cut thread is also better than when tapping in a cylindrical core hole.
Although it is possible to make core holes for NPT threads cylindrical, it is not recommended because the tap then has to cope with considerably more chip volume. This leads to additional load on the tool, the risk of chip accumulation and the cutting quality of the thread is negatively affected.
