JIS 30 degree flare on a BSPP thread (JIS B 0202 thread form)

A BSPP parallel thread with a 30 degree female cone seat, usually on a swivel nut. Reads as BSPP on a thread gauge, so the seat is the only thing that tells it apart.

Schematic cross-section of the male half, upper side only, with the centre line dashed and the open end on the left. Cone angles are drawn at their true angle from the axis; nothing else is to scale and no dimension should be measured off it.

How to recognise it

A deep, narrow cone - noticeably more pointed than a 37 degree flare. Common on Japanese equipment, usually with a loose female swivel nut.

Where it seals: Metal to metal, a 30 degree female seat against a 30 degree male cone.

Mating two different cone angles is the classic way to make a joint that holds pressure on the bench and weeps in service: the two cones touch on a line instead of a face, and tightening harder cold-flows the softer of the two rather than sealing it.

How it is sized

Sized by BSPP trade size.

Where you will find it: Japanese hydraulic equipment and its export machinery: excavators, forklifts, machine tools.

Also searched as: JIS 30, BSPP 30 degree, Japanese flare, JIS B 0202.

No working pressure is published for this standard. No two independent sources in the register give the same figure under conditions they both state, and a generic number would be a decoration rather than a rating. Read it from the manufacturer's catalogue.
