Hydraulic hose assembly is one of the most used materials in industry. However, do you know how to connect the fittings to high pressure hose? Orientflex introduces you next.
1. Ferrule Joint Connection
Specs:
Pressure Range: 250-800 Bar
Steel Pipe Size Range: 4-42 mm
Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel
Structure & Installation:
The ferrule joint consists of three components:
Joint body
Ferrule
Nut
During assembly:
Insert the ferrule and nut into the joint body
Tighten the nut to force the ferrule’s outer surface against the joint body’s tapered surface
The inner groove securely grips the seamless steel pipe, creating an effective seal
Advantages:
Widely used and proven technology
Cost-effective components
No special tools required
Limitations:
Only suitable for pipes below 42mm diameter
Not recommended for thin-wall pipes
Requires significant installation space and torque
Unsuitable for high-safety applications
Not ideal for high-vibration, shock, or pulsation conditions
2. JIC 37° Flared Joint Connection
Specs:
Pressure Range: 100-420 Bar
Steel Pipe Size Range: 6-38 mm
Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, copper alloy
Structure & Installation:
The JIC joint comprises:
Joint body
Bushing
Nut
Installation process:
Insert bushing and nut onto steel pipe
Flare pipe end using a flaring tool
Tighten joint body and nut together
The 37° cone surface creates a metal-to-metal seal
Advantages:
Well-established industry standard
Compatible with multiple materials
Simple installation process
Limitations:
Maximum 38mm pipe diameter
Moderate pressure rating
Not suitable for thick-wall pipes
Requires pipe end flaring
