What does this size PG29 call out? The PG stands for Panzer-Gewinde . This is a German type thread. The Main difference on this vs NPT and Metric is that the depth of the thread is smaller but has a larger flank angle, which makes it have a wider pitch along with a straight thread.

How is NPT thread calculated?
The taper rate for all NPT threads is 1 inch of diameter in 16 inches of length ( 3⁄4 inch per foot or 62.5 millimeters per meter) measured by the change of diameter (of the pipe thread) over distance of thread. The angle between the taper and the center axis of the pipe is tan−1( 1⁄32) ≈ 1.7833° ≈ 1° 47′.
Is BSP the same as NPT?
NPT and BSP threads are not interchangeable due to the differences in thread forms. NPT threads are pointed in the peaks and valleys, where BSPs are rounded. Most notably, the NPT thread angle is 60 degrees versus the BSP 55-degree angle.
