Are JIC and SAE fittings the same?
JIC (or Joint Industry Council) fittings, defined by SAE J514, are compression fittings machined with a 37 degree flare seating surface and parallel threads.
Will JIC fit SAE?
SAE and AN/JIC fittings are completely incompatible due to the different flare angle. Furthermore, AN fittings (or those complying with subsequent standards) and JIC fittings are not interchangeable for design-controlled applications due to differing quality standards.
What is SAE flare fitting?
Flare fittings are a type of compression fitting used with metal tubing, usually soft steel, ductile (soft) copper and aluminum, though other materials are also used. SAE fittings are typically made from brass. SAE and AN/JIC connections are incompatible due to the different flare angle.
What does SAE stand for in hydraulic fittings?
Abbreviations
| NPTF | National Pipe Tapered Fuel |
|---|---|
| SAE | Society of Automotive Engineers |
| JIC | Joint Industrial Council |
| NFPA | National Fluid Power Association |
| BSP | British Standard Pipe |
What is a single flare used for?
1. Single Flares are only acceptable on low-pressure lines, but not acceptable for high-pressure brake systems. A single flare is just as it sounds, the line is flared out just once in a conical shape. Single flares are not acceptable for brake lines and tend to crack and leak quite easily.
What degree flare are an fittings?
37 degree
Fitting Flare Angle AN Aircraft Flare fittings have a 37 degree flare angle. Many industrial fittings use a 45 degree flare angle.
What are flared fittings used for?
Flared fittings are also a good option for use with heavy machinery, and industrial and construction equipment. They are the fitting is most commonly used to connect tube or hose in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. The flare fitting is commonly used world-wide because it is a simple construction.
Do you use Teflon tape on flare fittings?
Do not use Teflon ® tape or pipe sealant on any flare ends because you will not obtain a leak-free seal. Keep flare end of fitting free of grease, oil and thread sealant. Use a wrench only on the hex surfaces of the fittings.
What is the difference between JIC and JIS fittings?
Sealing difference: JIS adapter fittings has 30 degree flare tube connector, but thread has BSPP and Metric (also called Komatsu style fittings). JIC adapter fittings is 37 degree flare tube connectors, with UNF thread.
Is SAE thread the same as NPT?
What’s the difference between SAE & NPT threads? The biggest difference is SAE is a straight thread, it needs additional O-ring, gasket or sealing surface to form a seal; NPT thread is a taper thread, it can form a seal using its thread pitch.
What’s the difference between JIC 37 and 45 degree flares?
JIC 37 and SAE 45 flare fittings is the same seal by metal to metal contact, JIC 37 is the same to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standard fittings, the same SAE standards for the maximum tube wall thickness must be followed before flaring the tube to match the fitting connection.
Can a JIC fitting be used with a SAE?
SAE and AN/JIC fittings are completely incompatible due to the different flare angle. Furthermore, AN fittings (or those complying with subsequent standards) and JIC fittings are not interchangeable for design-controlled applications due to differing quality standards.
What kind of fittings are JIC fittings made of?
What are JIC Fittings? JIC (or Joint Industry Council) fittings, defined by SAE J514, are compression fittings machined with a 37 degree flare seating surface and parallel threads. They are commonly manufactured in nickel alloys, brass, carbon & stainless steel. JIC Fitting hydraulic connections are common in most fluid power systems.
When to use flared fittings in hydraulics?
In most hydraulic design applications, pipe fittings have long been replaced with flared fittings, particularly in military and aerospace equipment. In low to medium pressure applications, the most common connection type is a flared fitting.
