Pipe Thread cutting set for all types of pipe threads

Pipe threads are used in water and gas installations, where the ends of the pipes can have both internal and external threads.

Pipe threads can be divided into two types:

• tapered or conical pipe thread, which are self-sealing, such as the Rc (BSPT) - keg. pipe thread 
• and cylindrical, which require a sealant such as hemp, like the Rp (BSPP) cyl. pipe thread

In Europe, the Whitworth pipe threads (BSP and BSPT) are the most common, while in the USA the American NPT and NPTF are the most common. Both British and American pipe threads are inch threads, which means that the pitch is given in threads per inch, where 1 inch is equal to 25.4 mm.

Thread cutting tools for standardised pipe threads

Our BAER pipe taps and dies are suitable for the common pipe thread, which are mainly standardised according to two standards:

• DIN EN 10226 "Pipe threads for thread-sealing joints - Part 1: Tapered male threads and cylindrical internal thread - Dimensions, tolerances and designation"". An appropriate sealant (e.g. hemp, Teflon tape) can be used in the thread for the leaks. This pipe thread is also known as BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread) Whitworth- pipe thread.


• DIN EN ISO 228 "Pipe threads for non-threaded sealing joints - Part 1: Dimensions, tolerances and designation". This pipe thread is mainly used for the mechanical connection of fittings and valves and requires the connection to be sealed by pressing two sealing surfaces together outside the thread and inserting a suitable sealant.

Pipe screw taps and thread cutting dies from BAER - the selection at a glance

In principle, a distinction is made between different types of pipe taps. Firstly, the choice refers to whether external or internal thread threads are to be cut. For external threads, among others, round thread cutting dies are used, which are equipped with three or more cutting edges. At BAER you will find various types of cutting die, which are used for normal applications or also for stainless steel.

Internal pipe taps, are cut with a pipe screw tap. These are available in different versions. On the one hand, a distinction is made here between the hand tap set and the short machine tap, and on the other hand, a distinction is made between hand taps and machine taps.

While a hand tap set is mostly composed of taper tap (No. 1) and finishing tap (No. 2), the hand tap (short machine tap) is a pipe tap designed to combine the functions of the hand tap set in just one tool. Similar to the machine taps , these tools are mostly used on machines. In principle, the hand tap is shorter than the pipe tap used in machines and is, in contrast, suitable for manual use. In our assortment you will also find a wide selection of one- or two-piece sets in various sizes in the area of hand taps.

When making your selection, you can also opt for complete sets in the form of sets and assortments, which, depending on the product, contain screw tap or are supplemented by cutting die. With BAER's wide range of products, you are well prepared for the production of a wide variety of threads or for thread re-tapping.
