BSP Hydraulic Fittings, recognized for their 55-degree thread angle, are extensively utilized in hydraulic applications due to their reliability and versatility. These fittings come in two primary styles: BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) and BSPT (British Standard Pipe Tapered).

BSPP, or pipe parallel thread, is designed for fittings where pressure-tight joints are not achieved through the thread itself. Instead, a peripheral seal is employed to ensure a secure connection. This style is commonly used with seals such as O-rings, Bonded Seals, and 60-degree cone seals. The parallel thread of BSPP fittings provides a consistent fit, making them ideal for applications where the integrity of the seal is crucial, but the thread itself is not responsible for maintaining the pressure.

On the other hand, BSPT fittings feature a taper thread that inherently creates a seal through its thread design, eliminating the need for additional sealing components. The tapered thread allows for a tight fit that increases as the fitting is tightened, ensuring a leak-proof connection. This makes BSPT fittings particularly suitable for high-pressure applications where the reliability of the seal is paramount.

QC Hydraulics specializes in manufacturing stainless steel BSP Hydraulic Fittings, which are especially popular in European markets. The use of stainless steel ensures that the fittings are resistant to corrosion and wear, providing a durable solution for various hydraulic systems. The quality and precision of QC Hydraulics’ fittings make them a preferred choice for industries that demand high performance and longevity from their hydraulic components.
