Pneumatic fittings connect sections of pipe, tube and hose in pressurized gas systems. Compared to hydraulic fittings, pneumatic fittings are generally characterized by tighter seals and lower pressure requirements. They are common in pneumatic logic control systems and instrumentation. We will discuss the vessels and types of pneumatic fittings. Pneumatic Fittings:…

There are numerous types of hoses for the industrial, residential and commercial industries. These hoses have a variety of applications. Therefore, knowing what type of hose you need based on what you are going to use it for is necessary for before making a purchase. We will discuss the different…

Hydraulic fittings can connect a variety of materials, including tubes, pipes or hoses to components such as pumps, valves or cylinders. When combining these components, you create a leak free system that hydraulic fluid allows for safe transmission. There's a multitude of fitting configurations and variations to choose from. So,…

Steel is one of the most crucial construction metals in the world. This may be common knowledge, but many do not understand the difference between carbon steel and other types of steel. Like any other specific type of steel, the carbon version of this metal contains specific properties unique to…

Stainless steel covers a wide range of alloys with different properties. One property all stainless steels have in common is that they all contain at least 12 percent chromium. They can be divided into three main groups: Austenitic stainless steel, Ferritic stainless steel and Martensitic stainless steel. We will discuss…

Valves are not necessarily the most exciting tool in any toolkit. However, they're not only heroes in their own right but absolutely vital to make any building's management system run smoothly. Knowing what kind of valve you need when you're working with a range of pressure applications is crucial. We…

An O-Ring is a mechanical gasket in the shape of doughnut-shaped ring. O-Rings are ideal for placement in a groove and compression during assembly between two or more parts. It is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section which creates a seal at the interface. They are one of the…

Quite often our customers will ask our team here at Bryan Hose & Gasket about the different types of metal, and what to look for when selecting grades, shapes and sizes. A metal is one of the basic elements in nature. Over three-quarters of the more known elements are metal….

Whether its in large diameters or small, for liquid or gas, for high- or low-pressure systems under a wide range of temperatures, you can depend on copper piping to reduce costs for any mechanical system. Therefore, we will discuss some of the many benefits of copper piping for mechanical systems….

There are numerous things going on in your hydraulic system. Pressure readings, temperature fluctuations and fluid level can all alter the way your system operates. This is why having the right hydraulic instrumentation on your system is essential. These tools assist in maintaining a high-quality hydraulic operation, so lets take…
