Unveil High-Performance Hydraulic Solutions: JIC, DIN, BSP & ORFS Fittings for Leak-Proof Industrial Connections

✅ 1. JIC (Joint Industry Council)fitting

• Thread Type: UNF (Unified Fine Thread), inch-based

• Seal Type: 37° flare — metal-to-metal seal

• Typical Sizes: 7/16-20 UNF, 9/16-18 UNF, 3/4-16 UNF, etc.

• Applications: Widely used in North America, Japan, and construction equipment

Features:

• High pressure resistance

• Easy to assemble and reassemble

• Excellent for hydraulic systems

Example:

JIC 1/2” = 3/4-16 UNF thread with 37° male cone

⸻

✅ 2. DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung)fitting

• Standard: German standard fittings (e.g., DIN 2353, DIN 3852)

• Thread Type: Metric thread

• Seal Type: Cutting ring, O-ring, or 24° cone seal

• Applications: Very common in European markets (especially Germany, Italy)

Features:

• Compact design

• Excellent for medium to high-pressure systems

• Common in industrial equipment and machinery

Example:

DIN 24° cone + M22x1.5 male thread (metric)

⸻

✅ 3. BSP (British Standard Pipe)fitting

• Thread Types:

• BSPP (G thread): Parallel thread with seal using O-ring or washer

• BSPT (R thread): Tapered thread that seals on the thread itself

• Applications: UK, Middle East, Australia, Southeast Asia

Features:

• Used in medium-pressure hydraulic and low-pressure gas systems

• Be careful to distinguish between BSPP and BSPT

Example:

BSPP 1/2” = G1/2” = 1/2-14 parallel thread

⸻

✅ 4. ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal)fitting

• Standard: SAE J1453

• Thread Type: UNF

• Seal Type: Flat face + O-ring

• Applications: Heavy-duty machinery, mining equipment, Caterpillar, John Deere, etc.

Features:

• Excellent sealing for high-pressure applications

• Vibration-resistant

• Very low risk of leakage

Example:

ORFS 1/2” = 3/4-16 UNF + O-ring face
