Hydraulic press nipple with BSPP internal or external thread
Hydraulic pressure nipples with BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) threads, designed to withstand operating pressures of up to 450 bar, provide a robust and reliable solution for demanding hydraulic applications. The BSPP thread, characterized by a 55-degree flank angle, is widely used in the hydraulic industry.
There are two main variants of BSPP hydraulic pressure nipples:
-
Taper-sealing type (60°): These pressure nipples feature an internal or external taper with a 60° angle, which ensures sealing. The connection is established by tightening the taper against the corresponding mating surface.
-
Flat-sealing variant: Alternatively, hydraulic pressure nipples can be equipped with a flat-sealing variant. In this case, the seal is achieved through a flat surface and, optionally, a sealing ring.
The high operating pressure of 450 bar requires precise construction and high-quality materials to avoid leaks and safety risks. When selecting and installing such components, it is crucial to adhere closely to the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations.
Conclusion
Hydraulic press nipples with BSPP threads offer an efficient solution for high-pressure applications in hydraulic systems. The choice between cone-sealing and flat-sealing variants allows for selecting the most suitable sealing method for specific requirements. When using such components, it is essential to adhere closely to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure safe and reliable performance, especially under conditions of high operating pressure.
