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.
Certainly! "JIC" stands for Joint Industry council.
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.
JIC stands for Joint Industry Council. In hose fittings, JIC refers to a type of fitting that uses a 37-degree flare seating surface to create a metal-to-metal seal, commonly used in hydraulic systems for its reliability and reusability.
JIC 37 and JIC 45 refer to different standards for flare fittings used in hydraulic systems. JIC 37 fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface, while fittings have a 45-degree flare seating surface. The difference in flare angles means they are not interchangeable and are used for different types of fluid connections, with JIC 37 being more common in industrial applications.
JIC fittings are measured by their outside diameter and thread pitch. The size is typically indicated in inches, often expressed as a dash size (e.g., -04 for 1/4 inch), and the thread pitch is measured in threads per inch (TPI). To ensure a correct fit, it's important to use a caliper or thread gauge when measuring these components.
A 3/4 JIC fitting refers to a hydraulic fitting size that uses the Joint Industry Council (JIC) standard. JIC fittings are characterized by a 37-degree flare seating surface and are measured by the outside diameter of the tubing they connect to. For a 3/4 JIC fitting, the corresponding outside diameter of the tube is 3/4 inch.
To identify JIC fitting sizes, first measure the outer diameter of the male thread or the inner diameter of the female thread using calipers. Then, match this measurement to a JIC size chart to determine the corresponding fitting size, ensuring you also check the thread pitch using a thread gauge for accurate identification.
