British Standard Pipe thread is actually an approved thread in the European metric system.

Totally off Healey content, but here is a stupid question Re. dies.  I have a piece of 1/2" OD steel pipe I want to thread (the outside).  I don't know the die size to use.  A 1/2" die seems way too small.  Anyone know what size die to use?  the number of threads doesn't matter---just the size of the die.

Thanks

Tom

I just want them to clean up threads.  Should be adequate for that..

I’ve got one of these. I’d say that it was adequate for an amateur (me). The taps and dies are OK, but the tools are pretty marginal. Worth the money.

just a FYI for those of you dealing with BSF fasteners.  Amazon sells a BSF tap and die set for $36.
