Product Overview and Manufacturing Excellence

Our Stainless Steel Hose Barbs are precision-machined components designed to provide secure, leak-proof connections between hoses and piping systems. These fittings feature graduated barbed ends that grip the interior of flexible hoses while providing threaded connections compatible with various pipe thread standards. Manufacturing excellence is achieved through advanced CNC turning operations, precision threading, and comprehensive quality assurance protocols that ensure dimensional accuracy within ±0.05mm tolerances.

Material Grades and International Standards

Our hose barb fittings are manufactured using premium grade Stainless Steel alloys conforming to multiple international standards:

Hose Size and Thread Size Compatibility Chart

The following table provides standard size correlations between hose inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), and corresponding thread sizes for different international thread standards. This comprehensive sizing guide ensures proper fitting selection for optimal performance and leak-proof connections.

Note: Custom size combinations available upon request. Thread engagement length: minimum 4-5 full threads for pressure-tight sealing. Hose selection should consider working pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility with fitting materials.

Surface Finish and Quality Specifications

Our Stainless Steel Hose Barbs are available with multiple surface finish options to meet specific application requirements. Standard finishes include mill finish with Ra 1.6μm surface roughness, precision machined finish achieving Ra 0.8μm, and electropolished finish providing Ra ≤0.5μm for sanitary applications. All fittings undergo passivation treatment per ASTM A967 to enhance corrosion resistance and remove free iron contamination from machining operations.

Our hose barb fittings serve diverse industrial sectors requiring reliable fluid transfer connections:

Performance Metrics and Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (Technical Q&A)

Q1: What is the difference between SS 304 and SS 316 hose barbs for marine applications?
A1: SS 316 contains 2-3% molybdenum providing superior resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion, making it essential for saltwater and marine environments where SS 304 may experience localized corrosion.

Q2: Can your hose barbs handle cryogenic applications?
A2: Yes, our austenitic Stainless Steel hose barbs maintain excellent toughness and ductility at cryogenic temperatures down to -196°C (liquid nitrogen temperature), with no brittle transition temperature.

Q3: What thread sealants are compatible with Stainless Steel hose barbs?
A3: Compatible sealants include PTFE tape, anaerobic thread compounds, and pipe dope formulated for Stainless Steel. Avoid zinc-containing compounds that may cause galvanic corrosion.

Q4: How do you prevent galling during installation of Stainless Steel threaded fittings?
A4: Use appropriate anti-seize compounds, control installation torque, ensure proper thread engagement, and avoid cross-threading. Our fittings feature chamfered thread starts to minimize installation issues.

Q5: What is the maximum pressure rating for your high-pressure hose barbs?
A5: Our high-pressure series achieves working pressures up to 6000 PSI (414 bar) depending on size and configuration, with safety factors of 4:1 minimum and 100% pressure testing verification.

Q6: Are your sanitary hose barbs validated for pharmaceutical use?
A6: Yes, our sanitary grade fittings comply with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, USP Class VI biocompatibility, cGMP requirements, and include material certifications with full traceability.

Q7: What quality certifications do you provide with shipments?
A7: Each shipment includes Material Test Certificates (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1, dimensional inspection reports, pressure test certificates, and chemical composition analysis from accredited laboratories.

Q8: Can you customize hose barb configurations for OEM applications?
A8: Absolutely. We specialize in custom configurations including non-standard thread specifications, unique geometries, special materials, and private labeling with customer logos and part numbers.

Q9: What is your typical turnaround time for standard vs. custom orders?
A9: Standard catalog items ship within 4-6 weeks. Custom configurations require 6-8 weeks depending on complexity. Rush orders can be accommodated with premium scheduling.

Q10: How do you ensure dimensional accuracy across production batches?
A10: We employ statistical process control (SPC), coordinate measuring machines (CMM) for inspection, calibrated tooling, and first-article inspection protocols to maintain consistent dimensional accuracy within specified tolerances.
