What is the diameter of 1/8 BSP?

BSP Size	Also Known As	Actual Diameter (Imperial)
1/8"		0.35 inch
1/4"		1/2 inch
3/8"		6/10 inch
1/2"	15 BSP	3/4 inch

What is the TPI of 1/8 NPT?

Nominal Diameter	Major Diameter mm	TPI
1/16" - 27 NPT	7.895	27
1/8" - 27 NPT	10.242	27
1/4" - 18 NPT	13.616	18
3/8" - 18 NPT	17.055	18

What is the outside diameter of 1/8 BSP thread?

BSP Thread Size	Outside Diameter mm / inch	TPI
1/8 Inch BSP	9.7 mm / 0.383"	28
1/4 Inch BSP	13.16 mm / 0.518"	19
3/8 Inch BSP	16.66 mm / 0.656"	19
1/2 Inch BSP	20.99 mm / 0.825"	14

What does 1/8 NPT stand for?

NPT stands for National Pipe Tapered threads, also known as ANSI/ASME B1. 20.1 pipe threads. It is a U.S. standard for measuring tapered threads on threaded pipes and fittings.

Is NPT measured by ID or OD?

NPT fittings are listed by the "standard" inner diameter (I.D.) of the fitting. (We put "standard" in quotes because the I.D. of the fitting will vary, depending on the manufacturer.) The outer diameter (O.D.) of the threads is usually about 1/4 (0.250) in.

Are NPT and BSP the same?

NPT and BSP threads are not interchangeable due to the differences in thread forms. NPT threads are pointed in the peaks and valleys, where BSPs are rounded. Most notably, the NPT thread angle is 60 degrees versus the BSP 55-degree angle.

How do I know my BSP thread size?

The easiest way is to count the thread crests over a shorter length, say 1/4", and simply multiply it by 4. For example, if you count 3.5 thread crests over 1/4": 3.5 x 4 = 14 threads per inch. Take this measurement and cross-reference it to your thread size in the chart below.

What is the difference between BSP and NPT?

Both threads have the same pitch and the familiar shaped peaks and valleys. However, the designs of the threads differ in two fundamental ways. With NPT, the peaks and valleys of the threads are flat. In BSP, they are rounded.

What is the diameter of 1/8 NPT?

Nominal Pipe Size	Outside Diameter of Pipe	Threads per Inch
1/16	0.313	27
1/8	0.405	27
1/4	0.540	18
3/8	0.675	18

What size drill bit do you use for 1/8 pipe thread?

Tap size	Threads per inch	Drill size w/ taper pipe reamer
1/8	27	21/64
1/4	18	27/64
3/8	18	9/16
1/2	14	11/16

What size hole do you drill for 1/8 NPT?

Nominal size	Taper threads NPT	Paralell threads NPS
Nominal size	When reamer is applied	Drill dia.
1/16	0.234(5.94)	0.250(6.35)
1/8	0.328(8.33)	0.344(8.74)
1/4	0.422(10.72)	0.438(11.13)

Is BSP same as metric?

Although BSP is a foreign thread, it isn't actually metric. This is why it comes in imperial sizes: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and so on. BSP parallel threads commonly seal via a 30° chamfer on the male thread to a 30° recessed cone inside the female thread (swivel only).

What is G in thread size?

Nominal Diameter	Major Diameter Inch	TPI
G 5/8"	0.902	14
G 3/4"	1.041	14
G 7/8"	1.189	14
G 1"	1.309	11

Is BSP and Whitworth the same?

Whitworth (1803-1887), also known as British Standard Pipe (BSP) or British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT), were originally thread forms for pipe fittings. They are still used for pipe installations in Europe today. They are therefore also known as pipe threads.

How is NPT size measured?

To determine the NPT size, with a caliper, measure the diameter of the 2nd or 3rd thread on your pipe, fitting or valve as shown below. Find the caliper measurement in the chart and cross reference the nominal NPT pipe size. Don't get confused, the actual measurement is not the same as the NPT pipe size.

Is NPT tapered?

NPT has a tapered male and female thread which seals with Teflon tape or jointing compound. Pipe threads used in hydraulic circuits can be divided into two types: Jointing threads are pipe threads for joints made pressure tight by sealing on the threads and are taper external and parallel or taper internal threads.

How do you determine your fitting size?

Measure the Outside Diameter (OD) of your pipe or pipe fitting:

Wrap a string around the pipe.
Mark the point where the string touches together.
Use a ruler or measuring tape to find the length between the tip of the string and the mark you made (circumference)
Divide the circumference by 3.14159.

Are NPT and IPS the same thread size?

To the left are a set of circles corresponding to pipe sizes commonly used in domestic plumbing, labelled with their nominal NPT or IPS sizes. NPT and IPS nominal sizes are always the same.

What's NPT stand for?

NPT (or National Pipe Taper) is a U.S. standard for tapered threads widely used on pipes and fittings for over 100 years. NPT connections rely on thread deformation- a metal to metal sealing design where the threads of the connectors themselves form together.
