Material Composition

While standard SAE fittings are typically made from carbon steel or stainless steel, we can customize the material to specialized alloys. This might be necessary for extreme corrosive environments, very high-temperature applications, or situations requiring non-magnetic properties. Our custom materials ensure enhanced chemical compatibility, improved strength-to-weight ratios, or unique thermal expansion characteristics crucial for critical performance.

 

Body Geometry and Port Configurations

We can highly customize the physical shape and the arrangement of ports on an SAE fitting. This includes designing fittings with specific bend angles, unique multi-port manifolds, or integrated features for sensors or specialized valves. Our custom body geometries are often critical for fitting into constrained spaces, optimizing fluid flow paths, or consolidating multiple connections into a single, compact component for efficiency and simplified assembly.

Thread Configuration and Size Deviations

Although SAE standards define specific thread types (like UN/UNF for JIC, ORFS, ORB), we can implement slight deviations or combinations for unique interfaces. This might include modifying thread lengths, incorporating non-standard pitches for specialized equipment, or integrating unique thread forms to connect proprietary components where standard SAE threads might not precisely fit, ensuring perfect mechanical engagement and sealing.

Surface Treatments and Coatings

Beyond standard zinc plating, we can apply specialized surface treatments or coatings to SAE fittings. This could include enhanced corrosion-resistant coatings for harsh marine or chemical environments, low-friction coatings for specific applications, or unique passivation processes. These tailored surface treatments extend the fitting’s lifespan, improve its performance under specific conditions, and can even offer aesthetic benefits.

What Does SAE Stand for in Hydraulic Fittings?

In the field of hydraulic fittings, SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers. SAE is a global association of engineers and technical experts that develops and maintains standards for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and off-highway equipment. 

These SAE  standards ensure compatibility, reliability, and safety for components like hydraulic fittings, allowing for interchangeability between products from different manufacturers and promoting best practices in fluid power systems.

Can you Customize SAE Hydraulic Fitting Sizes?

Yes, customizing SAE hydraulic fitting sizes is indeed possible, though it’s typically done by specialized manufacturers for specific applications rather than being a standard off-the-shelf service. 

While SAE standards define a wide range of common sizes and types (like JIC, ORFS, and ORB), there are instances in unique or highly specialized hydraulic systems where a standard fitting size or configuration simply won’t meet the precise requirements.

Manufacturers with advanced CNC machining capabilities and engineering expertise can produce custom SAE fittings. This process involves designing and manufacturing fittings with non-standard dimensions, unique geometries, specific material compositions, or specialized features to integrate seamlessly into a particular hydraulic circuit. 

Such customization is often necessary for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) applications, prototypes, or systems with severe space constraints or extreme performance demands that cannot be met by standard components.

CPE Hose vs PTFE

What is the difference between CPE and PTFE hose?
When comparing CPE (chlorinated polyethylene) hoses and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) hoses, the key differences lie in their material properties, which dictate their ideal applications.

CPE Hoses:

  • These hoses offer good resistance to oils, fuels, and moderate temperatures.
  • They are generally more flexible and cost-effective than PTFE hoses.
  • Commonly used in automotive applications like fuel and oil lines, as well as in industrial fluid transfer.
  • They are more susceptible to permeation than PTFE.

PTFE Hoses:

  • PTFE boasts exceptional chemical resistance, handling virtually any fluid, and excels in extreme temperature ranges.
  • They exhibit very low friction and are non-stick, making them ideal for high-purity applications.
  • PTFE hoses offer superior resistance to permeation, which is very important with fuels.
  • Often found in high-performance automotive, aerospace, and chemical processing industries.
  • They are generally more expensive, and less flexible than CPE hoses.
  • In essence, CPE hoses provide a balance of performance and affordability for general-purpose applications, while PTFE hoses are the premium choice for demanding environments requiring maximum chemical and temperature resistance.
