Hi all,
I need a catalog where they give the measures of Valves, Fittings and Pipes in NF and UNF which includes the SS material.
Thanks very much in advance!

Try McMasterCarr catalog. https://www.mcmaster.com/ Do a search for your part, click on the part number and download a 2D PDF.
Yes I am using it as well as other very good sources but I am having a clash with the NF and UNF designation and its relation to the classification of the parts.
Can you give me an example?
I need to get the set of pipe fittings and valves for the following 2 designations:
#8 Stor
3/4-16 UNF

#10 Stor
7/8-14 UNF

Here are an example:

Sound like an adapter but I don't find some spec:
Straight thread adapter, port size 10, 7/8"-14 thread UN/UNF2-A, SAE O-Ring Boss connecting to 3/4"-14 thread NPSM swivel thread. Designed for use with fluids in hydraulic applications.

Some have a board that gives the sizes and designation in rows and columns in each standard?
This is very confusing.
I very appreciate that and may be will be a big AD source.

Maybe this will help. Personally, I've never heard of the "Nationwide Fantastic (NF), Unified Nationwide Fantastic (UNF)" in the attached link. :confused: I always understood NF to be National Fine and UNF to be Unified National Fine in relation to screw threads. But you learn something new everyday.

Perhaps one of these catalogs will help you out. https://issuu.com/murdockindustrial/docs/eaton_aeroquip_master_catalog_hydra.
I Googled "Aeroquip"
Thanks chiefshoe. I have the catalog Now. I am trying to understand.

Thanks HaroldL,
This is a field of alchemists ... and I humbly try to give a specification of a section that includes fittings, pipes and medium pressure valves in SS. Nothing more.
I thought the hardest thing to do was to design the fuel tank, but this...

Hi HaroldL thanks again!. Right now understand the designation between UNTC=UNC=NC=Unified National "Thread" Coarse and UNTF=UNF=NF= Unified National "Thread" Fine.
Now I like understand the pipe, fitting and Valves designation size. I know some thread are tapered and other no, so what is the relation between the Nominal size and ID or OD.
I do like find the appropriate I.D, the wall thickness, the material spec. and of course fit each other with appropriate threads.
What is the definition of Nominal Pipe Size?

Try this page. There's no PDF but there are dimensions. https://www.gewinde-normen.de/en/unified-fine-thread.html

Hi Giov -- Pipe Fittings use Pipe Threads not Unified National Threads. I am not certain where it would be located in this "reformatted forum," but I have created a library of "BOOLEAN Pipe Threads" that allows you to show the taper for either "NPT" or "NPTF" male or female threads. ??? -- Lew
Welcome back to the forum Lew!

Welcome back Lew.
I searched in resource as "BOOLEAN Pipe Threads" and I don't find anything, so will be good if yo put again this library file.
I find only "Alibre UN Threads" and "Alibre US ACME Threads"
Please add some image to define all variable or measure of the pipe and its threads and check the Earl53 link.
Thanks in advance!

Included is my alibre thread data file which includes BSPT (Rc), BSPP (G), NTP, UNEF, UNS, Met & Imp Locknuts, ACME, BSW, BSF and the standard ones if this is what you are looking for.
