Is the Hex head plug with BSPT male thread, stainless steel, type VT114 suitable for use at 10 bar working pressure?

Yes. Hex head plug with BSPT male thread, stainless steel, type VT114 is specified with a working pressure of 10 bar, made of AISI 316 stainless steel, and therefore is suitable for use at 10 bar working pressure. Note that dimensions may vary slightly by manufacturer, so verify fit and compatibility with your specific system before installation.

Can the Hex head plug with BSPT male thread, stainless steel, type VT114 be used in systems with aggressive liquids at 10 bar?

Yes - the Hex head plug with BSPT male thread, stainless steel, type VT114 can generally be used in systems with aggressive liquids at 10 bar, provided two conditions are met: (1) the aggressive liquid is compatible with AISI 316 stainless steel (which resists many corrosive media but may be attacked by strong chlorides, hot concentrated acids or certain halides), and (2) the system temperature and specific chemical concentration do not exceed AISI 316âs resistance limits. The plug is rated for 10 bar and has appropriate BSPT external thread; verify exact dimensions and manufacturer chemical compatibility data for your fluid and operating temperature before final use.

Does the Hex head plug with BSPT male thread, stainless steel, type VT114 require special sealing for 10 bar systems?

Hex head plug with BSPT male thread, stainless steel, type VT114 does not explicitly state included sealing in the provided description. Although made of AISI 316 and rated for 10 bar, BSPT is a tapered (pipe) thread designed to seal by metal-to-metal thread interference plus often a sealant. For reliable sealing at 10 bar you should plan to use an appropriate thread seal method: PTFE tape (suitable for stainless steel and potable systems if correct grade used), pipe sealant/pipe dope compatible with stainless and the media, or an additional mechanical seal such as an O-ring/washer if the mating port is designed for it. If the mating port is parallel (BSPP) with a female port requiring a gasket or O-ring, the plug will need that specific seal. Recommendation: confirm with the manufacturer whether the plug is supplied with any finish-machined sealing face or O-ring groove; if not, use approved PTFE tape or compatible pipe sealant rated for 10 bar and the process fluid.
