The use of these flared joints is not restricted to hydraulics but they are also widely used in various other industries including – automotive, refrigeration, marine, nuclear.

Flaretite is committed to catering for all flared fittings used internationally. These include:

ANSI/NFPA (American National Standards – National Fluid Power Association)

T2.24.2 R1-2007 - Hydraulic Fluid Power Systems- Methods for preventing external leakage.

This recommended standard is intended to promote reliable sealing of hydraulic systems. It identifies common sources and causes of external leakage and recommends preventive measures know to be effective.  Us of these practices will help to eliminate external leaks in hydraulic equipment.

ISO/NFPA (International Organization for Standardization National Fluid Power Association)

ISO/CD 4413 - Hydraulic fluid Power

General rules and safety requirements for systems and their components. Includes general requirements for the engineering of a hydraulic system and safety requirements that support the essential health and safety requirements of the European Machinery Directive.

JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard)

JIS B 8363 1988 - End Fittings and Adapters for Hydraulic Hose Assemblies

This standard specifies the end fittings and adapters for hose assemblies to be used for hydraulic equipment and hydraulic circuits using mineral working fluid, as well as water based fluid, synthetic fluids, and medicated fluids.

SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)

SAE J343 - Test Procedures for SAE 100R Hydraulic Hose and Assemblies

This standard gives methods for testing and evaluating performance of the SAE 100R series of hydraulic hose and hose assemblies (hose and attached end fittings) used in hydraulic fluid power systems.

SAE J512 - Automotive Tube Fittings

This standard covers complete general and dimensional specifications for the various types of tube fittings intended for general application in the automotive, appliance, and allied fields.

SAE J513 - Refrigeration Tube Fittings – General Specifications

This standard covers complete general and dimensional specifications for refrigeration tube fittings of the flare type.  These fittings are intended for general use with flared annealed copper tubing in refrigeration applications.

SAE J514 - Hydraulic Tube Fittings
