How do you read hydraulic hose fittings?

How to identify the hose fittings

1. Identify whether they are male or female threaded fittings.
2. Identify the thread as BSP, Metric or JIC flare etc.
3. Identify the thread size. If in doubt then measure the OD (male) ID (female) of the thread and the pitch.

What is the difference between JIC and JIS fittings?

Japanese (JIS) tapered and parallel threads are the same as British standard pipe threads. The main difference is that parallel JIS threads have a 30° seat on the male end, and a 30° flared seat on the female ends. JIS tapered threads are the same as BSPT threads.

How do I know what type of hydraulic fitting I have?

Four Steps to Thread Identification

1. Step 1 – Determine if the thread is tapered or parallel. NPT/NPTF and BSPT are tapered threads while UN/UNF and BSPP are parallel.
2. Step 2 – Determine the pitch.
3. Step 3 – Determine the size.
4. Step 4 – Designate the thread.

What do the numbers mean on a hydraulic hose?

Simply put, a dash size refers to an I.D. of a hydraulic hose or fitting in 1/16″ increments. For example, -6 hose would indicate a hose with I.D. of 6/16″ – or 3/8″. Hoses are measured by inside diameter, unlike tubes which are measured by outside diameter.

ARE AN fittings 37 degree?

This fitting design was the forerunner of the current AN and SAE 37° flare fittings. The U.S. Air Force, with help from Wright Patterson Air Force base, developed a fitting with 37° flare angle, before WWII, which became known as the “AN” fitting.

What are the two types of threads?

Following are the 13 different types of threads:

• Right-hand threads.
• Left-hand threads.
• taper threads.
• “V” shape threads.
• Metric or International Threads.
• British Standard Threads.
• Seller Threads.
• Square Threads.
