The Benefits of Stainless Steel Fittings
</h1>
<p>
Stainless steel is a versatile material that is used in many different applications.
The two most common types of stainless steel are austenitic which is highly corrosion
resistant and ferritic which is magnetic.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In this blog we are going to break down the basics of what austenitic stainless steel
is, the key benefits it provides and where the uses of <a
href="http://www.jrfluid.com/stainless-steel-fitting/" target="_self">stainless steel
fitting</a>s can be most beneficial.
</p>

<h2>
Stainless Steel
</h2>
<p>
All steels have the same basic iron and carbon composition along with nickel, but
stainless steel also contains chromium - the alloy that gives stainless steel its well-
known corrosion resistance.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Austenitic stainless steel contains high levels of chromium and nickel and low levels
of carbon providing a balance of strength, workability and corrosion resistance. The
standard stainless steel alloys used in plumbing applications contains between 18-20%
chromium and 8-12% nickel, as well as small amounts of carbon 0.08% and manganese 2%.
Austenitic stainless steel has the highest corrosion resistance and are the most commonly
used type of stainless steel around the world.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Fittings
</h2>
<p>
Stainless steel offers a wide range of benefits to the architect and designer of
plumbing systems:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<h4>
Material Benefits
</h4>
<p>
The combining of corrosion resistance with high strength allows the reduction in wall
thickness and weight. Stainless steel is resistant to heat and chemical damage. It can
withstand very high flow rates - in excess of 40m/s, making it capable to withstand long-
term exposure to the elements in almost any environment.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<h4>
Environmental Benefits
</h4>
<p>
Stainless steel can be used in all types of water, including drinking water in public
supply. It has an excellent resistance to the full range of potable waters, including
various chloride levels. At the end of its useful life, stainless steel is fully
recyclable and retains a higher residual scrap value than ordinary steel.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<h4>
Economic Benefits
</h4>
<p>
Stainless steel is low maintenance and requires no additional coating, in both indoor
and outdoor applications. The expected lifetime of a stainless steel system is more than
50 years, reducing system down time, replacement and maintenance costs over the life of
the installation.
</p>
<p>

<h2>
Stainless Steel Fitting Applications
</h2>
<p>
With all the benefits that come with stainless steel there are equally just as many
applications where these fittings can be utilized. Here are some key beneficial areas:
</p>
<p>
Residential & Commercial water systems that are subject to various stresses.
</p>
<p>
Commercial & Industrial piping systems that are needing to perform well under the
toughest and harshest conditions.
</p>
<p>
Industrial Projects for sanitary or highly corrosive applications.
</p>

There are three kinds of marine hydraulic flange standards: asian system represented
by Japanese standard, European system represented by German standard and North American
system represented by the United States. German standard and American standard varieties
are more complete, but in the shipbuilding industry is far less than the use of Japanese
standard. The conventional flange of JIS is more popular, while the hydraulic flange is
not separate into a system, commonly used only 210 Kgf /cm2, 280 Kgf /cm2 and 350 Kgf /cm2
three specifications.
</p>
<p>
For a long time, high pressure marine <a href="http://www.jrfluid.com/hydraulic-
system-flange/hydraulic-flange/" target="_self">hydraulic flange</a> has few
specifications, high price, long delivery time and other problems in the market.
Considering that the number of hydraulic flanges required throughout the ship is not much.
Some shipyards with machining ability often manufacture high-pressure hydraulic flanges by
themselves. This paper mainly discusses the basic points of marine hydraulic flange design
and gives a design example.

There are many methods for marine flange design, such as bach method based on material
mechanics, waters method based on elastic analysis by TY8100 method, and analysis method
based on plastic limit load, etc. These methods are too cumbersome and complicated for
engineering applications. Based on the JIS hydraulic flange standard, this paper explores
a design method suitable for shipyards.

What components make up a full hose assembly?
</h1>
<p>
When looking at a full hose assembly, it is basically a length of hose with a properly
attached fitting on each end. Robert J. Koehler, Sr. Training Specialist at Eaton
Corporation, explained that a <a href="http://www.jrfluid.com/hose-assembly/"
target="_self">hose assembly</a> is composed of the hose and the end fittings, which are
determined by the application in which the hose assembly is going to be placed.
</p>
<p>
Hydraulic hoses have three major components, he said, which include the following:
</p>
<p>
Tube: The tube is the inner-most portion of the hose. Its role is to convey the media
from one end of the hose to the other and protect the outside from the media or fluid
being conveyed.
</p>
<p>
Reinforcement: The reinforcement is the strength of the hose and comes in a variety of
types, including braided, spiral and helical.
</p>
<p>
Cover: The cover is designed to protect the reinforcement and tube from the outside
environment.
