JIC (Joint Industry Council) and JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) refer to different sets of standards: JIC is primarily used in North America for hydraulic fittings and defines specifications for a 37-degree flare fitting, while JIS is a Japanese standard that covers a wide range of industrial components, including a 30-degree flare fitting. The key difference lies in their regional origins and specific design specifications.
A #8 JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting has a nominal size of 1/2 inch. This refers to the outer diameter of the tubing that the fitting is designed to connect, and it typically features a 3/4-16 UNF (Unified National Fine) thread.
Certainly! "JIC" stands for Joint Industry council.
The standard for JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings is defined by the SAE J514 specification. These fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface, commonly used in hydraulic applications for providing a reliable, leak-proof seal.
To determine the size of a JIC fitting, measure the outer diameter of the male threads or the inner diameter of the female threads and refer to a JIC size chart to match the measurement to the corresponding size. JIC fittings follow a standardized sizing system, typically listed in inches or millimeters.
In the context of fittings, a "#8 fitting" typically refers to the size designation used in hose and fitting systems, particularly in automotive and hydraulic applications. A #8 fitting generally corresponds to a 1/2-inch size, which means the inner diameter of the hose or fitting is approximately 1/2 inch. It's important to verify the specific system or manufacturer, as sizing standards can vary slightly.
