Description

1.1/2″ x 11 BSPT HSS Tap Set – Goliath
HSS Bright Finish BSPT Hand and Machine Tap Set.
Pipe taps are much shorter than a similar size of regular hand tap, but the design features are the same.
Goliath HSS taps provide a high hardness to toughness ratio, compressive and tensile strength, good abrasion resistance and resistance to micro-chipping, ensuring a long tool life.
Tapered Pipe Taps are used for tapered threading by hand or machine.
British Standard Pipe Taper (RC Series Pipe Taper) is based on the Whitworth thread form – a symmetrical V-thread with an angle of 55º.
BSPT has been widely adopted internationally for interconnecting and sealing pipe ends by mating an external (male) with an internal (female) thread.
The thread diameter increases along the length of the thread allowing the coupled pipes to form a seal when torqued as the flanks of the threads compress against each other.
The taper is “1 to 16”, meaning that for each 16 mm increase in the distance from the end, the diameter increases by 1 mm.
Taper Taps have a lead of eight threads and are used as a starting tap in difficult or high precision holes.
Intermediate Taps have a lead of four threads and are used in most general purpose applications to cut a thread true to a pre-drilled pilot hole.
Bottoming Taps have a lead of two threads and are used to ensure minimum thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of a blind hole.
Bottoming Taps are typically preceded by the use of a Taper or Intermediate Tap.
Manufactured from HSS this general purpose tap is designed for use in medium tensile materials and is for hand or general machine use.
