TUBE SIZING
Pneumatic hose and
tubing fits inside the pneumatic push-fit fittings
The outside diameter
of the hose or tubing should therefore be the same as the inside diameter of
the fitting.
Example. Tubing
with an outside diameter of 10mm will be compatible with a push-fit fitting
sized at 10mm.
BSP THREAD SIZING
BSP thread sizing is
NOT straightforward.
Measure the
approximate outside diameter of the male thread in millimetres then refer to
the sizing guide below to see the corresponding BSP thread size in inches.
Example. If
the thread diameter is approximately 13mm (about 1/2") then this will be
sized at 1/4" BSP
Note: The diameter of
male BSP threads will measure slightly larger than the same sized female BSP
threads.
