NPT stands for National Pipe [Tapered] and is the US type of pipe thread used in applications where BSPT would be used in Europe.  It is the designation for general usage tapered connections of US origin and there are many other NPT designations such as NPTF [F stands for fuel]. These other NPT variants are generally made to special tolerances.

 

There are also  NP parallel threads and the most common one is known as NPSM which stands for National Pipe Straight Mechanical.
