ansi 9standards0 code issues - what does bsp mean when
 

ansi what does "bsp" mean when
i'd appreciate if someone could answer this one. when discussing connection types, e.g. half-inch bsp female etc. what do the letters bsp mean? what does this connection look like?
thanks in advance.
check out our whitepaper library.
i think it is british standard pipe.
try looking in machinery's handbook or an on-line search.

we find in the hydraulics industry, that when someone refers to bsp thread, they usually mean bspp (british standard parallel) this is a parallel thread that seals with a flat washer.
the british standard also includes a tapered thread.
the machinery's handbook describes this.
