Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of pressure gauge connection sockets?

The main types include NPT (National Pipe Thread), BSP (British Standard Pipe), and metric threaded sockets, each with specific sealing methods and regional preferences.

How do I prevent leaks in pressure gauge connections?

Use proper thread sealant (PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant), ensure correct torque during installation, and verify gasket/O-ring integrity. Regular maintenance checks are essential.

Can different brand sockets be interchangeable?

Yes, if they follow the same thread standards (ISO, DIN, ASME) and have matching pressure/temperature ratings, but material compatibility must be verified for specific applications.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
