Hose End Fittings: Types And Uses

图片
  Hydraulic systems depend on secure, reliable connections between hoses and equipment to function effectively.   Hydraulic hose end fittings   are essential to achieving these connections, ensuring that systems can withstand high pressures without leaks or failures. In this blog, we’ll explore six specific types of hydraulic hose end fittings: crimp fittings, hose barbs, push-lock fittings, quick connects, compression fittings, and reusable fittings. We’ll delve into their designs, benefits, and applications to help you identify the best fittings for your needs.   1. Crimp Fittings   Design: Crimp fittings are permanently attached by mechanically crimping the fitting onto the hose, using a crimping machine. This process deforms the fitting around the hose, creating a tight seal. Crimp fittings can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and other alloys.   Applications:  Crimp fittings , known for their durable and leak-...

 Welcome to our newsletter about JIC and JIS  hydraulic fittings ​! In this guide, we will explore everything you need to know about these two types of fittings, including their uses, benefits, and differences. Whether you’re a professional in the hydraulic industry or just getting started, this guide will provide you with valuable insights and information.   Section 1: What Are JIC Fittings?   The  Joint Industry Council (JIC) fitting  has a long history in the hydraulic industry. It was first developed in the early 20th century to standardize hydraulic fittings used in the aircraft industry. At the time, there were many different types of fittings in use, making it difficult to maintain and repair hydraulic systems. JIC fittings are characterized by their 37-degree flare angle, which creates a strong and reliable seal between the fitting and the hydraulic hose or tubing. This flare angle is designed to minimize leakages and provide a secure connection eve...

Popular Hydraulic Fitting Types

We all know about using the STAMP method (Size, Temperature, Application, Media, Pressure) when choosing the right hydraulic hose fitting. The goal is always to have a leak-free connection that can handle the specific application. But what are the most popular fittings, and why are they so common?   The most common  hydraulic fitting  styles are O-ring, Mated Angle, and Tapered Thread. Each of these styles comes in different variations for different applications.   O-ring Fittings   There are three types of  O-ring fitting  designs: O-ring Boss, O-ring Face Seal, and O-ring Flange. Each design utilizes an O-ring to create a secure seal.   - O-ring Boss (ORB) Fittings: The O-ring in ORB fittings is situated between the threads and wrench flats, encircling the outer diameter of the male threaded end of the fitting. It seats against the female port to provide a very reliable leak-tight seal. ORB fittings can be either adjustable or non-adjustable. ...
