Product details
A BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread gauge is a tool used to verify the accuracy and dimensions of BSP threads, which are a common type of thread used for connecting and sealing pipes and fittings. BSP threads have two main types: parallel (BSPP, also known as G) and tapered (BSPT, also known as R). The gauge helps ensure that the threads are manufactured to the correct dimensions and meet the necessary standards for a secure and leak-proof connection. Here's a more detailed explanation: BSP Threads: BSP threads are a standard thread type used for connecting and sealing pipe ends, particularly in Europe and other parts of the world. Two Types: There are two primary types of BSP threads: BSPP (Parallel): BSPP threads have parallel (straight) threads, meaning the diameter remains constant along the length of the thread. BSPT (Tapered): BSPT threads have tapered threads, meaning the diameter increases or decreases along the length of the thread.
