When choosing a hydraulic hose, hydraulic hose sizes like length and diameter should be given careful consideration. Temperature and pressure range, hydraulic hose material, the fitting requirement should also be considered.
Hydraulic Hose Fitting
Hydraulic fitting on the market varies in different regions, and each type has its history of usage and origin. How can we choose the right one from thousands of hydraulic fittings?
We can use five fundamental dimensions to define them: Thread type, Connect Type, Bending angle, Tail type and Seal Type.
Just like the fitting diagram shown below, you can efficiently choose the right one and get PART No. to make an order.
The dimension available:
Tail Type: swaged, interlock, socketless, reusable;
Thread Type: metric, JIC, Bspt, Bspp, Npsm, ORFS, SAE, NPT, JIS, MT.
Connection Type: Male, Female, Flange, Standpipe, Banjo, StapleLock.
Bending Angle: 90°, 45°, Straight.
Crimping and Installation:
Fittings are typically crimped onto the hydraulic hose using specialized tools. This process ensures a strong and durable bond between the hose and the fitting. The crimping process is important to maintain the pressure rating and leak-free performance of the system.
Hydraulic hose fittings come in various configurations and sizes to meet the specific needs of different systems. Understanding the thread type and compatibility is crucial when selecting the correct fitting for a hydraulic application.
