What size is a #6 hydraulic fitting?
SAE J1926-1 and ISO 11296-1
| Inch size | Dash size | Thread Size |
|---|---|---|
| 5⁄16 | -5 | 1⁄2 – 20 |
| 3⁄8 | -6 | 9⁄16 – 18 |
| 1⁄2 | -8 | 3⁄4 – 16 |
| 5⁄8 | -10 | 7⁄8 – 14 |
What is an an 6 fitting?
AN fittings are a flare fitting, using 37° flared tubing to form a metal-to-metal seal. In bolts the number refers to the diameter of the bolt whereas in a fitting it refers to the OD of the tube and thereby have different threads. For example, AN6 bolt has a 3⁄8-24 thread whereas an -6 AN fitting has a 9⁄16-18 thread.
What are the different types of hydraulic hose fittings?
The three most common types of hose fittings are O-ring, mated angle and threaded.
What size is #6 hose?
How to Interpret Hose, Tube & Fittings “Dash Sizes”
| HOSE I.D (Inches) | ||
|---|---|---|
| All EXCEPT Transportation & Refrigerant Hoses | Transportation & Refrigerant Hoses | |
| -5 | 5/16 | 1/4 |
| -6 | 3/8 | 5/16 |
| -8 | 1/2 | 13/32 |
How do I know what size hydraulic fitting I need?
Measuring the Outer Diameter of the thread – place the ID/OD caliper around the threads so as to obtain a snug fit. Measuring the Inner Diameter of the thread – insert the caliper into the fitting so you can obtain the correct measurement, and match it to the data charts provided by the manufacturer.
What size is a 6AN fitting?
The Good News
| Male Thread Size | AN Size* | Equivalent Tube Size (Nominal OD) |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8-24 | 3AN | 3/16″ |
| 7/16-20 | 4AN | 1/4″ |
| 9/16-18 | 6AN | 3/8″ |
| 3/4-16 | 8AN | 1/2″ |
How do I know what size an fitting I have?
You can always identify AN fittings based on the male thread size (outside diameter). These sizes are constant regardless of brand, hose type, or fitting configuration. If your fitting has a convex 37 degree flare at the end, the threads will tell you the AN size (and vice-versa).
What is the difference between JIC and JIS fittings?
Sealing difference: JIS adapter fittings has 30 degree flare tube connector, but thread has BSPP and Metric (also called Komatsu style fittings). JIC adapter fittings is 37 degree flare tube connectors, with UNF thread.
How do I choose a hydraulic fitting?
Six Things to Consider When Picking the Hydraulic Fittings:
- The Security of the Connection Including Sealing Type. Be careful if you use NPT (National Pipe Taper) pipe threads fittings.
- Pressure Rating.
- Vibration.
- Temperature.
- Chemical Compatibility and Operating Fluid.
- Availability.
How do I know what size hydraulic hose I need?
In the vast majority of common hydraulic hoses, the I.D. measurement is divided into 1/16” increments known as the “dash size.” For example, a hose measuring 3/4” ID will be shown as a “-12” coming from the numerator of the fraction of 3/4″=12/16”. A 1” ID would be 16/16 or a -16, and so on.
What to know about hydraulic hoses?
A hydraulic hose consists of at least three parts, and inner tube that carries the fluid, a reinforcement layer and a protective outer layer. The inner tube needs to be compatible with the fluid it is carrying and requires some flexibility. The reinforcement layer consists of one or more sheaths of fabric, braided wire or spiral-wound wire.
How do you repair a leaking hydraulic hose?
6 Steps for Fixing Hydraulic Hoses 1. Identify the Correct Hose 2. Remove the Damaged Area 3. Use an Adapter to Complete Installation 4. Confirm the Correct Length 5. Ensure a Proper Seal 6. Circulate Fluid at Low Pressure to Check for Leaks
Can hydraulic hose be reused?
Never reuse hydraulic hose, ball valves and damaged hoses in the function of hydraulic applications. Also, any flexible fitting or coupling that has blown or pulled off a hose, may never be reused.
How do hydraulic fittings work?
In hydraulic applications, both coupling halves often are valved. This practice not only minimizes fluid leakage, but also limits the amount of air, dirt, and water that can enter the system. When a coupling is disconnected, air can become trapped between valves and enter the system when the joint is reconnected.
