For those of us in the quick coupling industry, understanding the various fitting types and thread standards is crucial. Among the most common in hydraulic systems are JIC (Joint Industry Council) 37-degree flare fittings. This post will introduce you to the world of JIC fittings, explaining their key features, the meaning behind their size designations […]
Hydraulic fittings can sometimes feel like they speak their own language! You see terms like “SAE ORB,” “Dash -8,” and “UNF thread,” and it can get confusing quickly. Especially when you’re trying to figure out what size fitting you actually need. Let’s demystify one of the most common types: SAE Straight Thread O-Ring Boss (ORB)
You might hear someone refer to a “3/4 inch JIC” fitting, only to see the specifications list a 1-1/16 inch thread. At first glance, it sounds like a mismatch—but they’re actually talking about the same fitting. So what’s going on? You’re not alone! This is one of the most common points of confusion with JIC
When it comes to selecting the right quick couplings for your hydraulic or fluid systems, understanding the thread type is crucial. One of the most commonly used thread types in quick couplings is the National Pipe Tapered (NPT) thread. In this blog post, we will dive into what NPT threads are, the dimensions of male
When selecting a hydraulic or pneumatic quick coupling, one key performance factor often overlooked is pressure drop. Whether you’re connecting hydraulic implements on a tractor or linking pneumatic tools in a workshop, pressure drop can impact system efficiency, speed, and performance. What Is Pressure Drop? Pressure drop refers to the reduction in pressure from the
Quick couplings are essential components in fluid and gas systems, enabling fast and secure connections. Among the various materials used for quick couplings, brass stands out for its durability, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. In this blog, we’ll explore what brass is, why it’s ideal for quick couplings, its applications, and key advantages. What is Brass?
When it comes to quick couplings, ISO 7241 Series B is one of the most widely used standards in the hydraulic industry. Whether you’re in construction, agriculture, or manufacturing, these couplings are designed to provide a secure, leak-free connection in a variety of hydraulic systems. In this blog post, we’ll break down the key features,
When shopping for quick couplings, you may come across terms like “flow rate,” “maximum flow rate,” and “flow capacity.” While these terms might seem technical, they are crucial for ensuring that your quick couplings perform efficiently and meet your operational needs. In this blog post, we’ll break down what these terms mean, why they matter,
When it comes to hydraulic and pneumatic Systems (ISO 7241 are designed for hydraulic system. but also can be used in pneumatic systems), the ability to make quick and secure connections is crucial. ISO 7241 Series A quick couplings are designed to do just that – providing users with an efficient, reliable, and safe way
When it comes to reliable and secure connections in hydraulic systems, ISO 7241 quick couplings stand out as one of the most widely used and trusted solutions. These couplings are designed to meet specific international standards for performance, safety, and compatibility. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the key features, advantages, and applications of
