Metric Standard Fitting Factory

1、What Is Metric Standard Fitting?

Metric standard fittings are hydraulic connectors designed according to international metric thread standards. They are widely used to connect hoses, tubes, and pipes in hydraulic systems. One key advantage is high compatibility and standardized sizing, which reduces installation errors by up to 80% compared to non-standard fittings.

These fittings are especially common in European and Asian machinery, where metric systems are the primary standard.

2、Key Features of Metric Standard Fittings

（1）High Precision Threading

Metric fittings are manufactured with strict tolerance control. Typical thread tolerance can be within ±0.02 mm, ensuring tight sealing and reduced leakage risks.

（2）Wide Pressure Range

Depending on the material and design, metric fittings can withstand pressures ranging from 100 bar to over 700 bar, making them suitable for both light-duty and heavy-duty systems.

（3）Strong Compatibility

Metric fittings can be used with various sealing methods such as O-ring, cone seal, and bonded seal, ensuring flexibility in different applications.

3、Common Types of Metric Fittings

4、Applications in Different Industries

Metric standard fittings are widely used in multiple industries due to their reliability and standardized design.

• Construction machinery (excavators, cranes)
• Agricultural equipment (tractors, irrigation systems)
• Industrial automation systems
• Marine and aerospace applications

In heavy machinery, using proper metric fittings can extend system lifespan by 20–30% by reducing leakage and mechanical stress.

6、How to Select the Right Metric Fitting

1. Confirm thread size and standard (e.g., M12, M18)
2. Check pressure rating and system requirements
3. Choose material (carbon steel, stainless steel)
4. Verify sealing type and compatibility

For example, in a hydraulic system operating at 250 bar, selecting a fitting rated at 300 bar or higher ensures safety and durability.
