Material:
JIC fittings are offered in two material versions:
- Zinc-plated carbon steel, standard seal: NBR rubber
- stainless steel (AISI 316) standard seal: Viton.
Working temperature
Allowable working temp. depends on the material of a connector and seal:
| from -40°C up to +120°C |
| from -35°C up to +100°C |
| from -60°C up to +400°C |
- – stainless steel + Viton:
| from -20°C up to +200°C |
Working Pressure
A nominal pressure (maximum working pressure) stated by a manufacturer is calculated for static working conditions and a safety factor of 4:1 for a cutting ring connection and from 1.5 to 2.5 for connections screwed into a body or BANJO fittings. When choosing a connector, dynamic pressure load and vibrations must be also considered. For temperatures above +100°C, the maximum working pressure may require reduction (contact Tubes International).
Medium
Fittings according to JIC 37° can be used to transfer a wide range of fluids and gases. However, the compatibility of the medium with fitting material and seal type must be always checked. For all applications different from standard hydraulic oils, please contact TUBES INTERNATIONAL® Technical Department.
