Could someone please post a definition of all these different types of thread. I have searched Google and have come up with some basic, but confilicting, information.
It would also be a great addition to the FAQ.
All i have come up with;
BSP - British Standard Pipe. Parallel thread. BSPT - BSP Tapered Thread.
What is the difference between a parallel and tapered thread? How, looking at a male or female thread, would you determine this? What part of a fitting, and how, would you need to measure to determine the thread size. What size and type of thread do you get on a 15mm compression coupler?
1/2" BSP Parallel Thread? The actual thread does not measure 1/2" but the internal diameter of the 'pipe' does!
Do parallel male and female threads go together? Or is it parallel to female only?
When should and should not a fibre washer be used?
PTFE or Sealing Compound?
What is a BS746 thread?
