Popular Questions
To identify JIC fittings, first measure the outer diameter of the male thread or the inner diameter of the female thread using a caliper. Then, compare these measurements to a JIC thread size chart to determine the correct size, ensuring the fitting has a 37-degree flare angle, characteristic of JIC fittings.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are characterized by their 37-degree flared sealing surface, which ensures a metal-to-metal seal, primarily used in high-pressure hydraulic applications. ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings, on the other hand, utilize an O-ring in a straight-thread design to create a leak-tight seal, making them ideal for applications requiring a robust, reliable seal against fluid leakage.
The JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting is equivalent to the AN (Army-Navy) fitting in terms of thread size and pitch, but they are not identical. Both types use a 37-degree flare to create a metal-to-metal seal, making them compatible for many applications, though AN fittings are typically made to stricter military specifications.
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.
SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers, an organization that sets standards for various automotive and aerospace components, including fittings. In the context of fittings, SAE standards ensure compatibility and quality, covering aspects such as dimensions, materials, and performance requirements.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface, commonly used in North America for hydraulic applications. JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) fittings, on the other hand, typically have a 30-degree flare and are prevalent in Japanese and Asian equipment, with different thread types and sealing methods compared to JIC.
A JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting will not fit directly into an NPT (National Pipe Tapered) fitting because they have different thread types and sealing methods. JIC fittings use a 37-degree flare for sealing, while NPT fittings rely on tapered threads to create a seal. To connect these two systems, an adapter is typically required.
Certainly! JIC (Joint Industry Council) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) fittings are both types of flare fittings used in hydraulic systems, but they have different specifications. JIC fittings typically have a 37-degree flare, while SAE fittings commonly have a 45-degree flare. This difference in flare angle means they are not interchangeable, as they are designed for different pressure ratings and applications.
JIC 12 refers to a specific size in the Joint Industry Council (JIC) hydraulic fitting system, which is commonly used in North America. The JIC 12 fitting has a 3/4-inch tube outer diameter and typically corresponds to a 1-1/16 inch thread size. These fittings are characterized by their 37-degree flare seating surface.
