Many industries use stainless steel BSP fittings on tubes/pipes to transport fluids and other products within their facilities. These sectors include the food and pharmaceutical industry or the construction industry.
Application of BSP Stainless steel
Stainless steel fittings are essential in the food and pharmaceutical industry because they are non-toxic, stain-resistant, easy to clean and offer excellent life cycle costs. Stainless steel fittings are essential in the building and construction industry due to their corrosion resistance and ability to withstand high pressures.
Stainless Steel BSP Fittings
British Standard Pipe is the full form of BSP and is a common pipe thread in Australia. Common stock stainless steel BSP fittings in Australia are male BSPT (tapered, also known as R thread) fittings and female BSPP (parallel, also known as G thread) fittings. When these two thread forms are screwed together using thread tape as a sealant, only one or two threads are joined and sealed for a leak-proof connection.

Stainless Steel BSP Fittings
There are many kinds of stainless steel BSP fittings. Below are written some of the popular fittings.
BSM Unions
BSM stands for British Standard Milk (derived from the dairy industry). They consist of BSM connectors, liners, nuts, and O-rings. A hex nut holds the male part with an O-ring and liner. The unit is tightened with a special BSM wrench. BSM Blind Caps and BSM Blind Nuts can be used to seal the connector at the end of the wire.
DIN Fittings
DIN fittings consist of male threads, nuts, gaskets, and liners. It usually comes with a D-profile EPDM gasket and his 4-groove nut. The use of DIN fittings is increasing worldwide as more and more equipment is imported from Germany. The acronym D.I.N stands for Deutsche Industrie Normale in German. There is only A.S. B.S. for Australian Standards and B.S. for British Standards, which is the prefix for the German standards body.
Tri-clover unions
Tri-clamp unions, or ferrule fittings, are called sanitary fittings due to their clean nature and lack of threads. It has two shell halves (Triclover ferrules) with a butt weld end that mates with the tube and a face that accepts a gasket and is joined with a finger nut clamp. Tri-clover blanking caps are used to cover ferrules at the ends of wires.
BSP Screw Socket
Class 316 BSP screw sockets are fitted with stainless steel BSP fittings in Australia and are widely used for pipe connections. There are two types of BSP threads: tapered (BSPT) and parallel (BSPP).
Wrapping Up
Stainless steel BSP fittings are easy to install. These are compatible with other BSP pipes which are one of the most common pipe thread styles used internationally. All connections and threads are highly reliable and durable, minimising the risk of leaks for a safe piping system. After knowing the specific feature of BSP fitting, buy the right product for you.
