Trying to get an oil pipe for my oil pressure gauge, but is there any difference between 1/8NPT and 1/8 BSP ?


cheers Ben

 

1 TPI and 0.003 inches

a lot really, the thread forms are different aswell, one has 60 degree inc flanks and the other is a whitworth form of 55 degree inc angles. Bsp has the whitworth form of 55 degree angles.

Bsp is a parrallel thread form where the NPT is a tapered form that runs at 1'47" taper

The NPT is 27 tpi where the Bsp is 28 tpi

Unless you meant to say Bspt which is different again

Hope this helps

 

wow , a proper answer, very rare these days ,

Many thanks chaps , thats answered my questions


cheers

 

BSP is "British Standard Pipe Thread"

NPT is "National Pipe Thread" which is American.

You can get parallel and tapered BSP threads.
