Is JIC the same as BSP?

The only difference is Komatsu uses millimeter thread sizes while JIS use a BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread. JIC fitting systems have three components that make a tubing assembly: fitting, flare nut, and sleeve. JIC fittings are commonly used in the Fluid Power industry in a diagnostic and test-point setting.

What does JIC fitting stand for?

Joint Industry Council
JIC (or Joint Industry Council) fittings, defined by SAE J514, are compression fittings machined with a 37 degree flare seating surface and parallel threads. They are commonly manufactured in nickel alloys, brass, carbon & stainless steel.

Is JIC the same as NPT?

JIC fittings is absolute different seal, not interchangeable. JIC hydraulic fittings is used in high pressure system, NPT fittings is used in low-pressure system. NPT pipe threads have always been popular, as leaks can be fixed by simply tightening the fitting.

What is the difference between SAE and NPT?

What’s the difference between SAE & NPT threads? The biggest difference is SAE is a straight thread, it needs additional O-ring, gasket or sealing surface to form a seal; NPT thread is a taper thread, it can form a seal using its thread pitch.

What does JIC mean in text?

The abbreviation JIC is an acronym which means “Just in Case.”

What is the difference between JIC and JIS fittings?

Japanese (JIS) tapered and parallel threads are the same as British standard pipe threads. The main difference is that parallel JIS threads have a 30° seat on the male end, and a 30° flared seat on the female ends. JIS tapered threads are the same as BSPT threads.

Does NPT fit BSP?

NPT and BSP threads are generally not compatible due to the differences in their thread forms. NPT threads have a 60° included angle and have flattened peaks and valleys (this is a Sellers thread form); BSP threads have a 55° included angle and have rounded peaks and valleys (this is a Whitworth thread form).

How can you tell if a hydraulic fitting is different?

Four Steps to Thread Identification

1. Step 1 – Determine if the thread is tapered or parallel. NPT/NPTF and BSPT are tapered threads while UN/UNF and BSPP are parallel.
2. Step 2 – Determine the pitch.
3. Step 3 – Determine the size.
4. Step 4 – Designate the thread.

What is JIC Urban Dictionary?

In 2005, the following definition was posted on Urban Dictionary: “Acronym for ‘in case you didn’t know. JIC (“just in case”) is another acronym that’s used similarly to ICYDK, although it’s less specific.

What are the different types of JIC fittings?

Main construction consists of three pieces: the body, sleeve & nut. The tube end is flared to 74 degrees included angle and held in between the main body nose and the sleeve nut which is on top of them, thus resulting in a very effective leakproof joint, full flow connection in process tubing.

How big is a JIC cap and plug?

64 Pcs. JIC 37° Flare Thread Cap & Plug Assortment Kit, Galvanized Steel with Precision Threading Hydraulic Adapter AN Fitting Set, Dash Sizes 04 06 08 10 12 16 . . .

How is the seal on a JIC fitting achieved?

As with other flared connection systems, the seal is achieved through metal-to-metal contact between the finished surface of the fitting nose and the inside diameter of the flared tubing. The sleeve is used to evenly distribute the compressive forces of the flare nut to the flared end of the tube.

Are there JIC fittings for 45 degree flares?

SAE 45-degree flare fittings are similar in appearance, but are not interchangeable, though dash sizes 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 14, and 16 share the same thread size. Some couplings may have dual machined seats for both 37-degree and 45-degree flare seats. Komatsu and JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) fittings have flare ends similar to JIC fittings.
