Emkay High Speed Steel HSS BS 949/ANSI Pipe Taps BSPT

Features of Emkay High Speed Steel (HSS) BS 949 / ANSI Pipe Taps – BSPT

1. Premium High-Speed Steel (HSS) – Manufactured from high-grade HSS for excellent durability, hardness, and resistance to wear.

2. BSPT Thread Profile – Designed to cut British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT) threads, ideal for pressure-tight sealing in pipe fittings.

3. Complies with BS 949 / ANSI Standards – Ensures consistent quality and compatibility with industry-standard BSPT fittings.

4. Tapered Thread Design – Provides leak-proof joints by creating a mechanical seal as the taper tightens during threading.

5. Hand Tap Configuration – Suitable for manual threading using tap wrenches, ideal for field work or small-scale applications.

6. Precision Ground Threads – Delivers smooth, accurate, and clean thread finishes for a professional result.

7. Efficient Chip Removal – Flute design supports effective chip clearance, reducing jamming and improving performance.

8. Versatile Material Compatibility – Suitable for use on a wide range of materials including mild steel, brass, copper, aluminum, and cast iron.

9. Heat and Corrosion Resistant – HSS material resists high temperatures and corrosive environments common in plumbing and industrial use.

10. Reliable for High-Pressure Systems – Ideal for applications requiring secure threaded connections in pipelines carrying gas, water, or other fluids.

Applications  For uses : 

1. Plumbing and Pipe Fitting – Used for tapping tapered threads in metal pipes for water, gas, and fluid transport systems.

2. Oil & Gas Industry – Ideal for creating pressure-tight BSPT threads in pipelines, valves, and fittings for oil and gas flow systems.

3. Compressed Air Systems – Ensures secure threaded connections in pneumatic and compressor piping setups.

4. HVAC and Refrigeration – Applied in air conditioning and heating systems where leak-proof pipe joints are critical.

5. Marine and Shipbuilding – Suitable for corrosion-resistant threaded pipe connections in marine fluid systems.

6. Construction & Infrastructure – Used for on-site tapping of BSPT threads in plumbing and industrial installation projects.

7. Workshop and Fabrication – Perfect for manual threading tasks in workshops and manufacturing setups requiring BSPT threads.

8. Irrigation and Agriculture – Used for tapping BSPT threads in pipes and connectors for water and fertilizer delivery systems.

9. Maintenance and Repair Operations (MRO) – Handy for re-threading or repairing damaged pipe threads during servicing.

10. Industrial Piping Systems – Essential for creating tight, reliable threaded joints in high-pressure industrial pipeline networks.
