BSPP THREAD CHART DIMENSIONS

BSPP Thread Chart Dimensions Calculator to show British Standard Pipe Parallel Thread form thread dimensions where pressure-tight joints are not made on the threads. BSPP Thread Dimensions Calculator shows dimensions, tolerances and designation for fastening pipe threads for thread sizes from 1/16 to 6 according to ISO 228 - 1 standard. The thread form follows the British Standard Whitworth thread.

Some important notes from the ISO 228 - 1 standard:

- Both internal and external threads are parallel threads.

- BSPP threads are not suitable joint where pressure-tightness is made on the thread. If assemblies with such threads must be pressure-tight, this should be made by compressing two tightening surfaces outside the threads, and by applying an appropriate seal.

- Threads are normally of the truncated form, with crests truncated to the limits of tolerance. There is an exception to this for internal threads, where they are likely to be assembled with external threads in accordance with ISO 7-1 (Pipe threads where pressure-tight joints are made on the threads — Part 1: Dimensions, tolerances and designation)

- For external threads, two classes of tolerances on the pitch diameter are specified; these are Class A and Class B. The choice between class A and class B depends on the conditions of application.

- The symbol for pipe thread type is G for external and internal threads.

- Designation: Internal thread - Pipe thread ISO 228- G 1/2 , External Thread - Pipe thread 1S0 228- G 1/2 A (For tolerance Class A).

FAQ: BSPP thread dimensions

What is BSPP? BSPP is the British Standard Pipe Parallel thread. In ISO 228-1, the designation uses the symbol G for parallel pipe threads.

What are the dimensions for 1/2 BSPP (G 1/2) in mm? 14 TPI (pitch 1.814 mm). Major Ø 20.955 mm, pitch Ø 19.793 mm, minor Ø 18.631 mm (see the chart row for 1/2).

Do BSPP threads seal on the threads? Typically no. BSPP joints are normally sealed by a gasket, O-ring, or another sealing surface outside the thread form.

Need BSPT (taper) dimensions? Use BSP Thread Chart (BSPP & BSPT) for taper thread context and BSPT references.
