Tech Specs & Standards

TL;DR: Thread pitch defines the specific distance between threads, but it is expressed differently across standards. Metric threads measure the distance in millimeters, whereas BSPP and UN/UNF systems count Threads Per Inch (TPI). Although some diameters appear similar, these thread systems utilize different flank angles (55° vs. 60°) and are not directly interchangeable. Identifying the correct pitch is mandatory […]

TL;DR: DIN 2353 compression fittings are divided into L-Series (Light) and S-Series (Heavy). While they may share the same Tube Outer Diameter (OD), they differ significantly in wall thickness, thread size, and pressure rating. They are not interchangeable. L-Series is for medium-pressure lines, while S-Series handles high-pressure, high-vibration, and water-hammer conditions. Understanding DIN 2353 Compression Fittings What Is DIN 2353?

TL;DR: SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 define the same JIC 37° flare fitting system. They are dimensionally and functionally interchangeable. The only difference lies in the documentation format and unit expression (imperial inch vs. metric mm). For global procurement, specifying either standard ensures you receive the exact same compatible component. Are SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 the Same Standard? Short Answer: Yes. Both

Stainless pipe couplings connect pipes tightly. This helps stop leaks in many places. These couplings use materials like SS304 and SS316. These materials protect well against rust and corrosion. The table below shows how they are different: Material Composition Corrosion Resistance Properties SS304 18% Chromium, 8% Nickel Very good at stopping rust and oxidation in easy

For most uses, 316/L stainless steel flanged fittings, specifically weld neck types, are very strong and resist rust well. They work effectively in tough environments with water or chemicals. The best stainless steel flanged fittings depend on your system’s pressure, temperature, and the fluid you use. How the fitting is made, whether by forging or casting,

You use 316 ss fittings to join pipes and tubes in tough places. These fittings are special because they do not rust. They last a long time and work well in hard situations. Many industries use them for safety and good results. For example: Industry Description Oil and Gas Precision fittings help keep moving resources safe. Chemical

Hydraulic fittings use a few main O-ring types to stop leaks and work well. You will often see Flare-O, O-Ring Boss, O-Ring Face Seal, split flanges, and bonded seals in these systems. The table below explains how each type works and what materials are used: O-ring Type Application/Usage Description Material Options ORFS fittings Makes a

Stainless steel barbed fittings let you join flexible tubing safely. The barbed end holds the hose tight, so leaks are rare. You get a tough and lasting connection because stainless steel, like that used in Kaitu fittings, does not rust or break easily. Stainless Steel Barbed Fittings Features You use stainless steel barbed fittings when

Dash Size Conversion helps you pick the right hydraulic fittings. Dash size tells you the inside diameter of hoses or fittings. This size affects how fluids move in your equipment. If you pick the wrong size, you can have many problems: You can stop these problems by knowing dash size and choosing correctly. Dash Size

To identify hydraulic threads, you need to examine the thread type, size, and sealing method. Tools like thread gauges are essential to measure the spacing between threads accurately. Calipers help you determine the thread width precisely. Using reference charts allows you to match your measurements to the correct standard. Many repair shops have prevented 25%
