BSPP to Tube Adapter

[harrisiqbal]

I'm trying to understand something.

Let's take a BSPP or SAE to Tube Adapter.

The manufacturer says that the pressure rating of said adapter is rated at the corresponding tubing used.

But what about the BSPP or SAE end?

Isn't there a specific pressure rating for Stainless Steel BSPP/SAE/NPT threads?

My understanding is the end connection with the lower rating is the overall rating of the adapter.

How can I find a BSPP (I'm really interested in BSPP) thread pressure rating table?

The threads per se can't have a meaningful pressure rating.
A nipple with a given thread _and_ a given bore in a given material, can have a pressure rating, which you are free to estimate from information you can find easily enough. ... but it's irrelevant in the context of a tube adapter, where either the tube wall or the tube retention mechanism is the weak link.
