Posted by Ronald Mendoza on | Comments Off on Hydraulic Fittings
Hydraulic systems require high-quality, durable fittings to create a secure connection between hoses, and pipes. At Jason Industrial, we offer a selection of reliable hydraulic fittings for a range of applications.
Types of Hydraulic Fittings
To meet our customers’ varied needs, we offer a selection of full-crimp, “bite the wire”-style hydraulic couplings in our 12, 40, and 60 series.
SAE J514, 37° Flare
Also called a JIC 37° Flare, this connection features a 37° male seat that fits into the 37° female flare seat when attaching straight threads. Hydraulic systems are common applications for these fittings.
SAE J514 Straight Thread O-Ring Boss
While it features the same threads as the J514 37° flare, this connection uses an O-ring in lieu of the 37° flare. Captured with a tapered counterbore, the O-ring creates a strong seal when fitted with the female O-ring boss port.
SAE J1453 O-Ring Face Seal
This seal designed to be leak-free is capable of withstanding pressure levels up to 6,000 PSI on selected sizes. It features a male end with straight threads and an O-ring in its face that connects to the female seat’s flat face, all held together mechanically using a swivel female nut.
SAE J512, 45° Flare
These connectors’ seats and threads on select sizes are similar to those of J514 37° Flares, but with a 45° flare angle. Given their similarities, it’s important to positively identify them based on their flares and threads. Compatible with lower-pressure applications, common uses include brass adapters and automotive hydraulic systems.
American Pipe Threads (NPTF & NPSM)
A very common fitting type, these couplings use two sealing techniques. The male National Pipe Taper Fuel (NPTF), or Dryseal, tapered thread fits together with an NPTF tapered female typically serving as a port. The seal is formed by crushing the male and female threads together.
Alternately, male Pipe Thread Fuel (PTF), or short Dryseal, threads are shorter than NPTF varieties by one thread at the small, tapered end. Otherwise, their threads are alike. PTFE tape, thread sealant, and other sealing aids may be used in conjunction for a more effective seal.
Male fittings with a 30° seat are compatible with the 30° cone seat of a National Pipe Straight Mechanical (NPSM) thread swivel female fitting. It’s typically present on an adapter, and the threads mechanically secure the connection.
British Standard Pipe – BSP
BSP fittings are available in either parallel (BSPP) or tapered (BSPT) thread types. Creating a thread seal, male BSPT fittings are designed to connect with female BSPT fittings, which often serve as ports. It’s important to note that, while similar, British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads differ from American NPTF and NPSM threads and aren’t interchangeable.
JIS 30° Flare With Parallel Pipe Threads
These hydraulic connectors are comparable to American JIS 37° Flares but with a 30° seat instead and straight parallel pipe threads similar to those on BSPP fittings.
JIS Tapered Pipe Thread
This fitting serves as an identical alternative to the British BSPT tapered pipe thread except it lacks a 60° chamfer on the male end. Also, it’s only possible to seal when crushing the threads together in a compatible BSP or JIS port.
DIN 24° Cone
DIN 24° cone males include 24° seats, metric straight threads, and recessed counterbores equal to the accompanying coupling tube’s outside diameter (OD). They’re compatible with a variety of female cones. The female counterpart can be a 24° cone and O-ring, a universal 24°/60° cone, or a metric tube fitting.
Heavy (S) and light (L) series DIN couplings are available. To identify these couplings, you’ll measure their tube OD and thread size. Heavy series couplings have greater wall thickness and a smaller tube OD compared to the light series. Using a 12° seat angle gauge, you can determine the flare angle from the centerline of the connector.
DIN 60° Cone
This male cone only works with the female universal 24° or 60° cone connector. It features straight metric threads and a 60° seat, while the female counterpart has a universal 24° and 60° seat with the same thread type. You can use the 30° seat angle gauge to measure the flare angle from the connector’s centerline.
Hydraulic Fittings From Jason Industrial
For optimized hydraulic system functionality and safe operations, it’s important to select the right hydraulic hose fittings and connectors for your application. The Jason Industrial team has been assisting clients with reliable, high-quality hydraulic adapters and fittings since 1958.

Posted by pmartin on | Comments Off on Using the S.T.A.M.P.E.D. Process to Choose Hydraulic Hoses
Choosing the right hydraulic hose is critical to the safety and lifespan of your hydraulic system. It also requires considering many different factors at once, so the S.TA.M.P.E.D. method is designed to help customers with this process. Learn what this method is and how you can use it to choose the ideal type of hydraulic hose for your application.
What Is the S.T.A.M.P.E.D. Process?
The S.T.A.M.P.E.D. hose acronym represents all the hose attributes you need to know to purchase the right hoses for your hydraulic system. The seven key attributes are:
S: Size
T: Temperature
A: Application
M: Material/Media
P: Pressure
E: Ends
D: Delivery
The best hose accommodates all seven characteristics. Below, you’ll learn more about each property.
Size
The size of your hydraulic hose consists of four different measurements:
Inside diameter (ID): The inner diameter of the hose is the measurement of the straight distance between the two furthest points on the inside of the hose. ID determines the fluid flow rate and the total volume of fluid that can travel through the cross-section of the hose.
Outside diameter (OD): OD is the measurement of the straight distance between the two furthest points on the outside of hose, including wall thickness.
Overall length: Measure both the length of the hose itself and the attached fittings to determine the total length.
Tolerance: Tolerance is important to determine how much variation is allowed for the hose. Some applications or hydraulic systems have stricter tolerance limits than others.
Temperature
Consider both the temperature of the fluid that will move through the hose and the ambient temperature outside the hose. Your chosen hose must be able to handle both the lowest and highest temperatures that your system will experience. If the material cannot withstand the anticipated temperature extremes, it may become brittle, start to break down, or chemically react to the fluid or the outside environment. For example, proximity to hot manifolds can jeopardize the integrity of hose materials not rated for such high heat levels. Depending on the maximum temperatures of the application, you may need to use heat shields as additional protection.
Application
Identify the conditions under which your hose assembly will be used. There are four main categories of applications your specific use case may fall under:
High impulse applications: There are frequent pressure spikes that the hose needs to accommodate.
Low impulse applications: There are few pressure spikes.
Flexing applications: The hose will frequently need to bend or flex.
Non-flexing applications: The hose assembly will remain relatively still, with no bending or flexing during operation.
Material
Material refers to the compatibility of the hose material with the fluid being conveyed, including its type and concentration. If your hose needs to convey specialized chemicals or oils, the inner hose tube and cover material must both be compatible with the fluid. All other components in the hose assembly, such as the O-rings and hose ends, must also be compatible with the fluid being conveyed or the environment that the components will come into contact with. Additional considerations include the need for flame resistance (MSHA certification), static wire, nonconductivity, abrasion resistance, and more.
Pressure
Identify the internal and external pressure levels the hydraulic hose assembly will be subject to, including details regarding anticipated pressure spikes or changes. Determine the system’s maximum operating pressure, which will be based on the relief setting. All elements of the hose, including the hose connections/ends, should not be rated below this maximum pressure.
However, sudden pressure spikes can surge above that relief setting and the maximum operating pressure, reducing the overall service life of the hose assembly. So account for those spikes in pressure when choosing a hose.
Ends
The ends refer to the hose’s termination style, type, attachment method, or orientation. Select the right terminations based on your system’s working pressure, required vibration resistance, and other requirements. Always use manufacturer-approved ends and couplings for hose assemblies.
Delivery
Finally, consider any quality, testing, cleanliness, packaging, and delivery requirements you may have. Along with any manufacturer recommendations for maximum fluid velocity, carefully select your hose based on any other special requirements.

Posted by pmartin on | Comments Off on How to Use the Nomographic Chart to Size Your Hydraulic & Industrial Hoses
Selecting the ideal hydraulic or industrial hose size is critical in delivering the intended performance. In the hose industry, a nomographic chart helps users choose the appropriate hose size based on system fluid volumetric flow rate and fluid velocity. Here, we will discuss sizing for hoses used in the industrial market and guide you through sizing with a nomographic chart.
Size Specifications of Industrial & Hydraulic Hoses
Industrial/Hydraulic hose sizing is specified by inner diameter. Outer diameter (OD) is a measurement of the entire diameter of the hose cross-section, including the diameter of the tube and any covers or reinforcement. The outer diameter takes the hose wall thickness into account, unlike inner diameter (ID) measurements, which only describe the diameter of the inside of the hose. The OD is a critical characteristic to identify the right size fittings and other components for industrial hoses.
Inner diameter is the measurement of the space inside the flow cross-section, and it will affect the flow velocity of the media traveling through the hose. An oversized ID can deliver slower flow, while an undersized ID can result in tube damage, heating of the fluid and the hose, pressure drops, and system damage due to tube failure and premature failure of the hose itself.
Hydraulic Hose Sizing With Nomographic Chart
What Is a Nomographic Chart?
A nomographic chart is a visual tool that allows users to choose the ideal hose size based on system fluid volumetric flow rate and fluid velocity. Users also need to know whether the hose will be used in suction or discharge. Inherent in the design of a standard nomogram is a series of formulas and calculations that users would otherwise need to do without the chart. One of these formulas is the following:
Area (in.2) = 0.321 x gallons per minute (GPM) / Velocity (feet per second)
How to Use a Nomographic Chart
The left-hand column represents flow in gallons per minute, the middle column is the inside diameter of the hose, and the right-hand column represents suction or discharge velocity in feet per second. Once you understand each column, follow these steps:
Identify the volumetric flow rate required for your system and whether the hose is in suction or discharge.
Lay a ruler across the chart connecting the flow rate number to the recommended velocity range for suction or discharge.
Find the intersection points on the middle column to determine what IDs of the hose are recommended within the velocity flow range.
For example, to determine the minimum ID of a hydraulic pressure hose required to transport fluid at a rate of 20 GPM, draw a straight line from 20 GPM on the left side of the chart to the maximum recommended velocity on the right side, which is 15 feet per second. The line should intersect the middle vertical column, identifying a hose with an ID of ¾ in. If the velocity is higher than the recommended range, it could cause issues with the hose, like erosion or degradation of the tube.
On hoses used for return or suction to the intake of a pump, the maximum recommended velocity should not exceed 4 feet per second to avoid pump cavitation and damage to the hose, which leads to system failure.
The above recommendations are for fluids at operating temperatures between 65 °F (18.3 °C) and 155 °F (68.3 °C), and a maximum viscosity of 315 S.S.U. at 100 °F (37.8 °C).

Posted by Jason Industrial on | Comments Off on How to Know What Hose Is Right for You
Hydraulic and industrial hoses come in a variety of specifications to suit various applications. Choosing the right hose for your project requires a consideration of the best hose material, size, pressure rating, and other factors. This guide will help you choose the ideal hose based on your requirements.
Choosing from Jason Industrial’s Portfolio of Hoses
Depending on your individual needs, the following are the main types of hoses you might choose.
Industrial Hoses
This type of hose moves process materials through an industrial setting or can with the right choice of hose, be used with steam, pneumatics, or other process functions. Industrial hoses are engineered to resist environmental factors like abrasion and corrosion and come in many sizes to meet the requirements of various applications.
At Jason Industrial, you can find top-quality industrial hoses and accessories for air, water, food handling, petroleum, oil, chemical, and other industrial applications. Designed for longevity and durability in harsh industrial conditions, these hoses have features tailored to specific use cases.
Hydraulic Hoses
If you need to convey fluids under pressure and connect components in a hydraulic system, select an appropriate hydraulic hose. These hoses comprise elastomeric or rubber material inner tube, with layers of reinforcing textiles, metals, or other materials and covered by an external protective layer. This durable design holds up under pressure while remaining suitably flexible to fit into confined spaces, making them suitable specifically for hydraulic applications.
Like industrial hoses, hydraulic hoses are available in multiple material and size options to meet different application requirements, with a wide variety offered fitting connector ends on Jason-approved couplings.
Considerations for Selecting Your Hose
When choosing a hose for your application, it’s best to follow the STAMPED guideline for selection, which stands for “size, temperature, application, medium, pressure, ends, and delivery.” The right blend of these features will help you make the right choice for your needs.
Size: Find a hose size with the right length as well as inner and outer diameters. Improper sizing can lead to reduced flow rates, pressure drop, and excessive stress.
Temperature: In addition to size, consider the ambient and fluid temperatures that the hose will need to withstand. Fluid temperature can affect the flow properties of the material being conveyed, so the hose must remain resilient under these conditions.
Application: Choose a hose compliant with all environmental and industry regulatory requirements, including any local and federal regulations.
Medium: The type of media your hose pumps will also influence the hose type. For instance, you may need to convey specialized chemicals or oils. Depending on the liquid, you’ll need to select the right components for your hose, including covers, tubes, O-rings, and couplings.
Pressure: The hose’s material and construction will impact its pressure rating, which will help determine if the hose is right for a given application. The pressure rating also influences the cost, maintenance needs, bend radius, and overall flexibility of the hose.
Ends: Choose hose ends with an inner diameter and design compatible with your application. End materials should also work with the media you intend to pump, preventing leaks and potentially dangerous chemical contaminations.
Delivery: When selecting a new hose system, you’ll benefit from working with a partner that can provide quick delivery from stock of the needed hoses and fittings/couplings for your needs.
