Description
Part Description:
BSP threads seal in the same ways as NPT threads but are different dimensions. BSP is very common on many types of European equipment as well as some Japanese machinery. BSP threads may be tapered but more often are parallel threads, with the female relying on a cone seat for sealing. Male parallel threads seal with a chamfered end on a female with a cone seat, with a copper gasket on a flat seat, with an O-ring in a recessed port, or finally with a bonded seal in a machined face port.
Pulsar adapters are for general hydraulic use. Pressure ratings are dependent on size and thread design. Whenever possible, elbows and tees are forged one-piece designs rather than braised from components. However, where manufacturing quantities are insufficient to warrant forging, parts are braised.
Note: BSPP hollow hex plugs come complete with O-rings. Use a BSP bonded seal with BSPP plugs and BSPP banjo bolts for a positive seal.
