BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) is similar to NPT except there are important differences. ... Another important difference is that for many BSPT pipe sizes the thread pitch is different than NPT. Thus an NPT male will sometimes fit into a BSPT fitting or vice versa but they will not seal.
Are BSPT and NPT compatible?
Are NPT/NPS threads compatible with BSPT? No, the thread forms are different and most have a different pitch.
Can you convert BSP to NPT?
To answer your question - yes - as long as you seal the threads with a couple of wraps of teflon tape or other suitable sealant. I ASSUME your machine has a 3/8" BSPP female fitting. In that case, this fitting, available from your nearby Swagelok dealer, will convert it to a 3/8" NPT male: SS-6-HN-6RS.
