Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Measurements in residences in Peru
Spanish term or phrase: Abbreviation: (N.P.T. + 0.40)
This is a document that measure the volume, area and many specifications for residences in Peru. It discusses the area, height, volumetry for each of the rooms. At the end of the sentence for each room, once it identifies which room is being measured, it states:
(N.P.T. + and different numbers as seen above)
I asked this question on kudos several months ago when I had this exact same translation, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it now?!??!
Does anyone know what the n.p.t. + (numbers) stands for???????????

Example:
La volumetria 1 esta conformado por un pasadizo de circulacion. (N.P.T. + 0.40)
Area: 4.49m2
Altura: 2.15mL
Volumetria: 4.49m2 x 2.15mL=9.65m3

disagree  bigedsenior: It makes no sense in this context. NPT is always expressed in fractions of an inch and refers to the thread size of pipe, tubing, fittings, etc.
