About Pipe Taps
Pipe Taps are tools used to cut threads on the inside of a hole, usually made of steel or other metals. They come in various sizes and shapes, depending on the size and shape of the hole they are meant to thread. Pipe taps are typically used in plumbing, automotive repair, and industrial applications.
Types of Pipe Taps
Hand taps are a type of pipe tap that is commonly used for threading small holes. Hand taps have three flutes (cutting edges) that cut through the material as it is turned. Threading taps can also be used for larger holes and come with four or more flutes for better cutting efficiency.
Materials Used For Pipe Taps
Pipe taps are usually made from high-speed steel or carbon steel alloyed with molybdenum, cobalt, vanadium, tungsten, titanium, chromium or manganese. The hardness of these materials makes them ideal for cutting threads into metal surfaces.
Industries That Use Pipe Taps
Professionals such as plumbers and mechanics use pipe taps on a daily basis to thread pipes and fittings. Industrial applications also use pipe taps to create threaded fasteners such as bolts and screws for machinery.
