Looking at 10K Instrument Connections and cannot find an answer to this, hopefully someone here can assist.

Why are BSPP and NPT offered as 10K Fitting Connections but BSPT is not. I'm looking at 1/2" in particular where NPT and BSPT as almost identical in Taper Angle, Pitch, just the Thread Angle is the main significant difference.

Appreciate any thoughts or guidance from you all.

The pressures vary with diameter too, so I have to assume its directly related to the fitting design, remaining wall thicknesses and sealing limitations that govern max pressure allowance for each style.

Hi,

Chances are that supplier doesn't stock 10k in BSPT because there isn't a demand for it.

I'm from Canada and have gotten them from: Superlok Canada


Hope that helps!
