IT HSS PIPE TAPS NPS NPT NPSF – BS : 949 – 1969 BSP BS : 949 – 1957 BSPT BS : 949 PART III – 1982 TAPER THREAD BSPT

Features of IT HSS Pipe Taps :

• ✅ Standards Compliance:
• Conforms to international and British pipe thread standards:
• NPS, NPT, NPSF – as per BS: 949 – 1969
• BSP (Parallel) – as per BS: 949 – 1957
• BSPT (Taper Thread) – as per BS: 949 Part III – 1982
• 🛠️ Thread Types:
• NPT (National Pipe Taper) – U.S. standard for tapered sealing threads
• NPS (National Pipe Straight) – straight thread for mechanical joints
• NPSF (National Pipe Straight Fuel) – dry-seal straight threads
• BSP (British Standard Pipe – Parallel)
• BSPT (British Standard Pipe – Taper) – for tight, leak-proof seals
• 🧰 Tap Construction:
• Made from High-Speed Steel (HSS) for superior strength and wear resistance
• Precision-ground threads ensure accurate, clean, and consistent threading
• Available in straight flute design for general-purpose applications
• 🔩 Performance:
• Suitable for threading pipes, fittings, valves, hydraulic components, and more
• Provides tight, pressure-resistant seals, especially in tapered thread applications (NPT, BSPT)
• Dry seal compatibility with NPSF for fuel and hydraulic systems
• 🔄 Versatility:
• Compatible with various materials: mild steel, cast iron, brass, aluminum, and alloys
• Ideal for manual tapping or use with tapping machines
• 🔒 Leak-Proof Threading:
• Taper threads (NPT/BSPT) designed to provide mechanical strength and fluid sealing without the need for sealing compounds (in many cases)
• 🏭 Industrial Use:
• Widely used in plumbing, fluid transport, gas lines, oil refineries, HVAC systems, and general engineering

Application of uses :

• 🚰 1. Plumbing and Piping Systems
• Creating or restoring threads in water, gas, and drainage pipe connections
• Taper threads (NPT, BSPT) ensure leak-proof sealing in pressure systems
• NPS and BSP used in mechanical joints with sealing washers or gaskets
• 🛢️ 2. Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Industry
• Threading components in fuel lines, oil pipelines, and refinery equipment
• NPSF taps are ideal for dry-seal applications like fuel and hydraulic fittings
• 🧯 3. Fire Protection Systems
• Used for threading pipes and fittings in sprinkler and fire suppression systems
• Ensures secure, pressure-tight connections in high-risk environments
• 🧰 4. Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO)
• Re-threading worn or damaged pipe threads during maintenance
• Essential in repair workshops, plant servicing, and utility services
• ⚙️ 5. Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems
• Tapping ports and fittings for high-pressure hydraulic and compressed air systems
• NPT and BSPT threads provide tight seals critical for safety and performance
• 🏗️ 6. Industrial Fabrication & OEM Manufacturing
• Used in production of machinery, valves, manifolds, tanks, and piping assemblies
• Meets both British (BSP/BSPT) and American (NPT/NPS/NPSF) standards for export-grade equipment
• 🏢 7. HVAC and Building Utilities
• Threading pipes for heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and utility systems
• Ensures compatibility with threaded fittings in domestic and commercial projects
