Lately, it seems, to talk about the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP) is to talk specifically about the dollars and cents of the Center’s future. Their research and education programs or their impact on the fluid power industry are all worthy, but ultimately, supplemental conversation points. With the National Science Foundation’s funding […]
What are hydraulic fittings used for?
Hydraulic fittings connect conductors such as hoses, pipes and tubes in a hydraulic system. Most fittings have a male and female component that join to form a connection. These connections help contain and direct the flow of hydraulic fluid in the conductor while preventing leaks and maintaining pressure. Different fittings allow designers to change flow […]
What is the highest pressure my hydraulic hose can handle?
In North America the guideline for hydraulic hose is the SAE J517 Standard. This standard defines pressure as well as construction, dimension and temperature for the most common hoses used in hydraulic systems. The guidelines assign a maximum working pressure for hose relative to its size measured in sixteenths of an inch. For safety purposes, […]
