Kcass Stainless Steel Hydraulic Fitting

Circumference is important, but it is also important to take the fittings wall thickness into account. The required thickness is affected by temperature, flow, pressure, and the area where the fitting will be used. Temperature — The material passing through the hydraulic tube fittings as well as the heat from the outside environment all contribute to its operating environment. It may be necessary to add sealant or protective plating to the fitting. Application: When choosing a material, consider the effects of vibration, pressure peaks, extreme temperatures, moisture, and mechanical loads. Different materials are required for hydraulic fittings operating in wet applications versus those operating in saltwater environments with salt spray and other corrosion-inducing elements.
