What Is BSP and NPT Thread? The NPT threads are sharp in peaks and valleys, where BSP threads are rounded. In particular, the NPT thread angle is 60 degrees compared to the BSP 55-degree angle. Right for this last difference, it is good to choose the suitable thread in order not to cause any fluid leakages or faults under pressure.

Metric Hydraulic Fitting: Step-by-Step Guide Measurement: Use a pitch gauge to measure the distance between threads. Insert the pitch gauge into the threads to determine the correct pitch. mCommon Pitches: Common metric thread pitches include 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm. Ensure the pitch gauge fits snugly into the threads without any gaps
