Hydraulic System Accessories
Every hydraulic system relies on hydraulic accessories to connect, measure, and regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid. These small components play a huge role in system performance, safety, and maintainability.
Essential accessories include:
Pressure Gauges – Allow operators to monitor system pressure and detect abnormalities.
Flow Meters – Measure hydraulic flow rate for diagnostics or balancing circuits.
Quick Disconnect Couplings – Enable fast, leak-free hose changes in mobile or maintenance scenarios.
Fittings & Adapters – Ensure secure and compatible connections across hoses, valves, and components.
Filters & Reservoirs – Clean and store hydraulic fluid to ensure system longevity.
Accessories must match system parameters like:
Pressure rating (e.g., 3000–6000 psi)
Thread type (e.g., NPT, BSP, JIC, ORFS)
Flow capacity
Fluid type compatibility (mineral oil, fire-resistant fluids, etc.)
Well-chosen accessories reduce maintenance time, simplify troubleshooting, and help meet international hydraulic standards like ISO 4413 or NFPA T2.12.
