British Thread Adapters Hollow Male Adapters BSP BSPT UNF Thread
Carbon Steel British Thread Hollow Male Adapters
Targeting cost-sensitive British-thread connection scenarios, this adapter integrates external thread fastening and hollow fluid passage functions. Manufactured from carbon steel (Q235/45#), it delivers high cost-effectiveness and superior strength for dry/low-corrosion environments, addressing economic connection needs for British-standard interfaces.
Material & Surface Protection
- Base Material:
- Q235: General-purpose grade, cost-effective for low-pressure (≤80bar) and dry scenarios
- 45# Steel: Quenched-tempered, with tensile strength ≥600MPa, suitable for high-pressure (≤200bar) and impact-prone scenarios

Thread & Structural Design
- Thread Standards:
- Pipe Threads:
- BSPP (parallel, 55° thread angle): For low-pressure water/gas (requires gaskets)
- BSPT (tapered, 55° thread angle): Self-sealing for medium-pressure hydraulics
- Fastening Thread: UNF (fine thread, 60° thread angle): For precision gas circuits (requires face seals)
- Hollow Design: Through-hole diameter matches thread specifications precisely. Roller-burnished inner walls eliminate burrs, ensuring smooth fluid flow (pressure drop ≤8%)
