How to find a good supplier of hose fitting?
Hydraulic hose fittings and adapters are widely used in hydraulic systems to connect hoses to other hydraulic components such as valves, actuators, and cylinders to allow fluid conveyance. Although hose fittings and adaptors seem to be very tiny parts of the hydraulic systems, they perform very critical roles in providing strong and secure connections by maintaining safe pressure and preventing potential leakage.
Unfortunately, hydraulic fittings and adapters of wrong choice will cause slow down, or “strikes” of working hydraulic systems, or even worse, accidents and casualties. To avoid all these hassle and hazard, it is essential to find suppliers who are capable of supplying hydraulic fittings and adapters that are strong, reliable, and versatile enough to perform safely and effectively in respective applications.
And here are some tips about how to do so:
China is the biggest exporter of steel fittings and adapters around the world. No matter you are buying from local, or foreign countries such as Korea, Italy, Turkey, etc, it would make sense to start sourcing from China. They will make great substitutes.
If you already started buying from China, here are some keys to ask before finalizing your supplier's list.
Material
Carbon steel: #45, #35, #20, 08F. Price could vary greatly with different materials been used, with most expensive #20 #35 and least expensive 08F. Sometimes you getting cheaper ones is only because your supplier is using cheap steel. It is not always a bad case as you could happen to just need cheap steel. Let's say your hydraulic system is not very demanding in pressure, it is economic to use 08F rather than #20 #35. Nevertheless, if your hydraulic application is critical in pressure, it is rational to buy #20 #35 #45 to avoid any potential explosion.
Surface Treatment (Electroplate)
The most common plate is zinc plating, also known as Cr3+ plating. However, the price could again differentiate with same plating. Therefore, it is smart to ask about corrosion resistance time, also known as salt spray test hour. Usually, the industry standard is 96 hours, but prices make differences. It could be as low as 72 hours, or as long as 560 hours or above, depends on your specific needs. On the other hand, there is other kinds of plating such as Nickle zinc plating, which is more expensive and of course for more demanding applications.
Standards
The most popular standards of hose fittings and adapters are SAE and Eaton. They differ in hexagons as people in different countries use different wrenches. Overall SAE and Eaton standards are interchangeable, but countries do have their own preferences. Therefore, it would be wise to make sure which standards you use and inquire accordingly.
Forge Plant
It is important for your supplier to have his/her own forge plant to lower home costs, maintain consistent product quality, and fasten lead time.
Keep these in mind and you will probably find a great supplier.
