JIC Hydraulic Fitting FAQs
What Are JIC Hydraulic Fittings?
JIC (Joint Industry Council) hydraulic fittings are a common type of flare fitting used in fluid power systems.
What does JIC mean in hydraulic fittings??
In the context of hydraulic fittings, JIC stands for Joint Industry Council.
- JIC fittings are a specific type of hydraulic fitting defined by the SAE J514 standard.
- They are characterized by a 37-degree flare angle and parallel threads, making them a widely used and recognized type in various industrial and mobile hydraulic systems.
Essentially, JIC represents a set of industry standards that ensure compatibility, reliability, and interchangeability of these fittings.
What is JIC vs NPT?
JIC and NPT are two different types of hydraulic fittings with distinct characteristics:
JIC (Joint Industry Council) Fittings:
- Threads: Parallel threads
- Flare Angle: 37-degree flare
- Sealing: Primarily relies on the 37-degree flare for sealing
- Applications: Primarily used in high-pressure hydraulic systems due to their superior sealing capabilities.
NPT (National Pipe Tapered) Fittings:
- Threads: Tapered threads
- Sealing: Relies on the taper of the threads to create a seal (often with the assistance of thread sealant)
- Applications: More versatile and can be used in various applications, including lower-pressure systems and general plumbing.
Key Differences:
- Thread Type: JIC has parallel threads, while NPT has tapered threads.
- Sealing Mechanism: JIC primarily seals through the 37-degree flare, while NPT relies on thread taper and often requires sealant.
- Pressure Applications: JIC is generally better suited for high-pressure applications, while NPT is more versatile for various pressure levels.
Interchangeability:
JIC and NPT fittings are not interchangeable. Attempting to connect them can lead to leaks, damage to the fittings, and potential system failure.
In Summary:
- Choose JIC fittings for high-pressure hydraulic systems where reliability and leak-free performance are critical.
- Consider NPT fittings for lower-pressure applications or where a more general-purpose fitting is suitable.
Always refer to the specific application requirements and consult with a hydraulics expert to ensure the selection of the appropriate fitting type.
how to measure jic hydraulic fittings?
1. Determine the Thread Size:
- Male Threads: Measure the outside diameter (OD) of the threaded portion using a caliper or thread gauge.
- Measure at the widest point of the thread.
- Female Threads: Measure the inside diameter (ID) of the threaded portion using a caliper.
Measure at the widest point of the thread.
2. Determine the Thread Pitch:
Use a Thread Gauge: Thread gauges have a series of blades with different thicknesses.
Slide the gauge over the threads.
The blade that fits perfectly between the threads indicates the threads per inch (TPI).
3. Identify the Fitting Type:
- Observe the Fitting: Determine if it’s a male fitting (with external threads) or a female fitting (with internal threads).
- Look for Special Features: Note any special features like elbows, tees, or swivels.
Important Considerations:
Accuracy: Ensure accurate measurements for proper fitting selection.
Safety: Be cautious when handling tools and fittings.
Reference Materials: Utilize manufacturer catalogs or online resources for specific JIC fitting dimensions and specifications.
This is a general guide. Always consult the appropriate industry standards and safety guidelines for accurate and safe measurements.
