BSP coupling refers to using threads adhering to the British Standard Pipe (BSP) standard for connecting pipes and fittings. The BSP standard, based on Whitworth threads as defined by ISO 228, is a globally adopted standard for screw threads used to interconnect and seal pipes and fittings.
Here's a breakdown of key aspects of BSP couplings:
-
What BSP Stands For: British Standard Pipe.
-
Thread Type: Utilizes Whitworth threads.
-
Standard: Defined under ISO 228.
-
Application: Used for interconnecting and sealing pipes and fittings.
-
Global Adoption: A widely recognized and used standard internationally.
In essence, a BSP coupling is a fitting that uses BSP threads to create a secure and sealed connection between pipes or other fittings. This standard provides interchangeability and reliability in plumbing and piping systems.
