How to Measure BSP Size for Couplings

Understanding British Standard Pipe (BSP) thread sizes is crucial for selecting the correct couplings in compressed air systems.

At Compressors.Online, we provide a detailed guide to help you measure BSP threads accurately. The guide covers the following key steps:
    1.    Identify the Thread Type: Determine whether the thread is parallel (BSPP) or tapered (BSPT).
    2.    Measure the Thread Diameter: Use a caliper to measure the outside diameter of the male thread or the inside diameter of the female thread.
    3.    Determine the Thread Pitch: Count the number of threads per inch (TPI) or measure the distance between threads in millimeters.
    4.    Consult a BSP Size Chart: Match your measurements to a BSP size chart to identify the correct thread size.

By following these steps, you can ensure a proper fit for your couplings, enhancing the efficiency and safety of your compressed air system.
