As emphasized by Machine Design in their informative article, ‘How to Identify Threads on Hydraulic Fittings,‘ using the correct thread for hydraulic fittings is not merely a matter of proper assembly; it’s a crucial safety concern. Ensuring that fittings and adapters are not only capable of maintaining pressure and providing reliable seals but are also safe for operators, equipment, and the environment. This meticulous attention to detail significantly reduces the risk of costly maintenance and environmental cleanup.
Professionals in the fluid power sector are typically familiar with American and Unified pipe threads. However, challenges arise when dealing with the multitude of ‘metric’ threads. Machine Design excels in distinguishing between true metric threads and BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, highlighting their commitment to precision and safety in hydraulic systems.
