Guide To Thread & Connector Working Pressures: Adaptors, Hose Couplings and Hose Assemblies

The document provides guidance on maximum working pressures for hydraulic system components like hose assemblies and adapters. It states that the listed pressures should only be used as a guide, as many installation and environmental factors can influence actual pressure capabilities. It also explains that the maximum working pressure of a hose assembly or adapter is determined by the component with the lowest rated pressure of its parts.

GUIDE TO THREAD & CONNECTOR WORKING PRESSURES

Adaptors, Hose Couplings and Hose Assemblies


Since many factors influence the pressure at which a hydraulic system will, or will not, perform
satisfactorily, maximum working pressures listed below should be used as a guide only and not as a
“standard” nor “specification”, nor construed as a “guaranteed minimum”.
Within the fluid power industry, many criteria are used for the determination of pressure capability.
Various fibre stresses, minimum yields and design factors are applied, commensurate with total system
conditions. Thus, it is impractical to lay down specific allowable working pressures that satisfy all design
criteria. Unless otherwise specified in this document, and given correct working conditions, including,
but not limited to, torque setting, assembly, alignment, support, pressures (internal and external),
temperature limits, environmental, installation, vibration free, damage free, chemical, cleanliness and
regular maintenance inspection, the following may be used as a guide to maximum working pressure.

The maximum working pressure of a hose assembly is the lesser rated working pressure of the hose or tube
or end style (Connector termination). The maximum rated working pressure of an adaptor with a
combination of thread / end styles and sizes, is the maximum working pressure of the least rated end.
