How is BSP pipe measured?
How to Measure Your BSP Fittings
- Measure the outer diameter (OD) of the thread (in inches)
- Then subtract 25% from this (¼ inch)
- You’ll then need to make sure it is a BSP fitting so by counting the threads on your coupling, perhaps only just over ¼”, you can just multiply this by four to find the threads per inch.
