FAQ
Can American standard flanged pipe fittings be used interchangeably with national standard and European standard fittings?
They cannot be used interchangeably. American standards use inch NPS specifications, Class pound-class pressure, and independent hole spacing and outer diameter systems, which are completely different from national standard PN and European standard PN dimensional tolerances, bolt hole positions, and sealing structures. Mixed use will cause problems such as inability to connect, sealing leakage, and insufficient pressure bearing. American standard-related projects must use dedicated American standard pipe fittings.
