KE Instrumentation tube fittings For Hydraulic Pipe

Size — While circumference is obviously important, the wall thickness of the fitting should also be considered. The thickness requirement is affected by temperature, flow, pressure, and the location of the fitting. Temperature —The operating environment of hydraulic tube fittings includes the material flowing through the fitting as well as external heat. Protective plating or a seal material may be required for the fitting. Material selection will be influenced by vibration, pressure spikes, thermal conditions, moisture, and mechanical loads. A hydraulic fitting operating in an ocean environment with salt spray and other corrosion-inducing factors requires a different material than a dry fitting.
