High pressure pipe fittings are parts used to connect hoses, pipes, and tubes in hydraulic systems

High pressure pipe fittings are parts used to connect hoses, pipes, and tubes in hydraulic systems. Hydraulic equipment generally operates under high pressures and is often not a fixed system. Consequently, hydraulic fittings need to be strong, versatile, and reliable to operate safely and effectively in their respective applications. These fittings typically adhere to strict standards which dictate fitting construction, dimensions, and pressure ratings. It is important to distinguish what type of hydraulic equipment is being connected in the system to determine what fittings are appropriate. Stainless steel tube weld fittings are seamless precision pipes specially manufactured for hydraulics. The tubes have standard sizes for different pressure ranges, with standard diameters up to 100 mm. Tubes lengths are interconnected via flanges, welding nipples, flare connections, or by cut-rings. Direct joining of tubes by welding is not acceptable since the interior cannot be inspected.
