Bite Type Fittings: Basic Principles
OR
For many years, HANSA-FLEX tube fittings have proved a success in a great variety of technical applicat-
ions.
Manufactured according to DIN EN ISO 8434-1 and DIN 2353, the geometric shape of our tube fittings is the
basis for a simple, reliable, and most important of all, leakfree operation of hydraulic tubes and fittings.
The assembly process can either be carried out in the fitting body or in a special assembly die although
we recommend to choose the latter. However, stainless steel fittings must always be assembled in the
assembly die.
When tightening the nut the cutting edges of the HANSA-FLEX progressive ring are moved in axial
direction towards the standardized 24° cone.
This movement, which is exactly defined by the geometric shape, causes the cutting edges to bite into the
tube surface, leading to a firm tube clamping.
The right assembly can be recognised by a visible collar of cut tube material which is solidified by this cold
forming process.
The cutting ring also has a stop shape which causes a considerable increase of the assembly forces, giving a
clear sign to stop the assembly and deform the hydraulic tube only within the necessary limits.
The shape of the cutting ring, the nut and the fitting body provides an excellent resistance against stress
concentration, it is particularly important to point out that the cutting ring also acts as a spring as it is
clamped between the nut and the fitting cone.
The spring effect is an important feature to dampen vibrations which might otherwise lead to fitting leak-
ages.
Of course it is possible to carry out repeated assemblies, please see the instruction manuals for details.
To meet customer requirements in terms of an increased leak proof, the HANSA-FLEX product range now
also includes cutting rings with additional elastomer sealings. They are assembled just like the standard rings
but offer an even higher protection against leakages.
Design and Function of 37° Flared Fittings
HANSA-FLEX flared fittings were originally designed for high pressure hydraulic systems using US-American
fittings and are often used for applications which are subject to strong vibrations.
37° flared fittings can also be assembled with metric fitting bodies with a 24° cone as shown above.
In this case the entire fitting consists of the metric fitting body, sleeve, adapter with one or two elastomer
sealings and the fitting nut.
The tube end must be shaped to a standardized 37° cone.
Using flared fittings, it is possible to combine fluid connectors both from the metric and imperial system;
properly flared tube ends will assure a long, trouble-free service even under the most critical operating
conditions.
HANSA-FLEX Weld Nipples
These fittings were developed for heavy-duty applications such as tube assemblies for hydraulic presses or
steel mills, and offer a technical solution to manufacture welded tube connections.
HANSA-FLEX weld nipples also have an extra O-Ring for higher protection against leakages and of course fit
into the 24° cones of metric fittings.
For obvious reasons it is important however to remove the O-Ring before welding and extra care needs to be
taken to clean the fitting bore to remove possible welding beads.
General Information

Temperature Ratings
HANSA-FLEX tube fittings are designed for an operating temperature range from – 40° C to + 120° Celsius.
However, it is necessary to consider the temperature resistance of rubber elastomers if additional sealings
are being used.
Please note:
Carbon steel fittings: – 40° C to + 120° Celsius
Carbon steel fittings with NBR-rubber sealings: – 35° C to + 100° Celsius
Carbon steel fittings with FPM-rubber sealings: – 25° C to + 120° Celsius
Stainless steel fittings: – 60° C to + 400° Celsius
Standard elastomer for sealings: Nitrile-Butadene-Rubber NBR. For higher operating temperatures we
recommend FPM (Fluor-Carbon-Rubber e.g. Viton) Viton is a registered trademark of DuPont de Nemours. In
case stainless steel fittings are subjected to high working temperatures, the following pressure reductions
must be considered:
Temperature Pressure Reduction

– 60° C to + 20° Celsius –
+ 50° Celsius 4%
+ 100° Celsius 11 %
+ 200° Celsius 20 %
+ 300° Celsius 29 %
+ 400° Celsius 33 %
Operating Pressures
The HANSA-FLEX fitting programm is divided into three main types of fittings according to the permissible
working pressure and application:
LL: very light series

L: light series
S: heavy series
Tube fittings are often classified by their ratings for the nominal pressure PN and operating (working)
pressure PB.
The nominal pressure PN is only used for the classification of a hydraulic fluid system and has a design
factor of 4.
The operating pressure PB defines the highest allowable working pressure of a component, depending on the
material and based on the calculation of the permissible operating temperature.
However, the design factor for HANSA-FLEX tube fittings classified by the declaration of the operating pres-
sure PB is 2,5 unless otherwise stated.
37° flared fittings have been developed with a design factor of 4.
However, a safe and reliable operation of a fluid system always requires a faultless assembly of both the
fittings and cutting rings and a sound positioning of the hydraulic tubings.
Additionally we would like to point out that in some nominal sizes, HANSA-FLEX tube fittings actually
surpass the pressure ratings demanded by DIN EN ISO 8434-1.

Tube Selection
The safe and economic operation of a hydraulic fluid system depends on the correct selection of tubings.This
selection is determined by the choice of the tube material, the calculation of the wall thickness and the
determination of the appropriate inner diameter.
Miscalcutated wall thicknesses can easily lead to both severe property and bodily damages.
On the other hand the tubeline efficiency will strongly depend on the choice of the inside diameter as a
rather small diameter can lead to undesired pressure losses caused by high fluid velocities.
High fluid velocities will cause turbulent flow and unnecessarily increase inner friction leading to rising
operating temperatures of the tubeline system.
These operating temperatures will finally increase wear of other components such as sealings or hose
assemblies.
Conversely, oversized tubings cause avoidable additional purchase costs.
Therefore we would like to present some general rules for the correct tube selection, please note that detailed
calculations of hydraulic flow resistances always require an exact knowlegde of the tube-line system and the
operating conditions. Other methods of calculation can be found in relevant literature.
Determination of the wall thickness of straight tubes
The wall thickness of straight tubes can be calculated according to the procedures standardized in DIN 2413
part 1.
The calculation of bent tubes is stated in DIN 2413 part 2; as this is a very complicated, large-scale process
we are only going to summarize the determination of straight tubes.
Please note that the given calculations are only guidelines for the tube selection, we recommend checking
your results using the procedures given in DIN 2314.
The calculated pressure corresponds to the allowable working pressure PB of a system and its components
and either exceeds or equals the nominal pressure PN.
As mentioned before, the nominal pressure PN is just an index for the classification of a system.
There are three different applications presented for the pressure calculation in DIN 2413:
a) Case I: an overall constant load with a maximum operating temperature of 120° C
b) Case II: an overall constant load with a maximum operating temperature exceeding 120° C
c) Case III: a dynamic load with a maximum operating temperature of 120° C
We are only going to consider case 3 as it applies to most applications in the field of hydraulic fluid
technology.
The calculating pressure for a straight tube subjected to a dynamic load with a maximum operating
temperature of 120° C is determined by the following equation:
20 x K x s x c
P = ____________
S x (da + s x c)
P = calculating pressure in bar

K = characteristic fatigue rating, K = 226 N/mm2, applies only to St37.4 carbon steel
subjected to dynamic loads
s = necessary wall thickness in mm
c = correction factor
S = design factor, S = 1,5 for both constant and dynamic loads

da = tube outside diameter in mm
The necessary wall thickness is calculated as follows:

s = sv + c1 + c2
sv = theoretical wall thickness in mm
c1 = correction factor for considering permissible wall thickness divergence
c2 = correction factor for considering wear and corrosion
The determination of the theoretical wall thickness is carried out according to DIN 2413-1:
da x P
sv = _________
2σzul x υn
σzul = maximum allowable tensile strength when subjected to dynamic load in N/mm2
υn = rating factor of a parallel or convoluted tube welding seam.
In this case υn = 1 as only seamless precision tubes are being used.

If the correction factor for considering permissible wall thickness divergence is specified as a value c’1 in %,
the necessary wall thickness can be determined using the following equation:
100
s = (sv + c2) ________
100 – c1
In this case we will not consider the impacts of wear and corrosion, therefore it is possible to simplify the
given equations considerably.
We recommend using the following equation factors c for the determination of the calculating pressure P of
a straight tube:
Correction factor c 0,8 0,85 0,9

Example:
Determine the calculating pressure of a seamless precision tube made of carbon steel St37.4 and manu-
factured according to DIN 2391. The tubes are delivered with a cold drawn and normal annealed quality.
Solution:
Insert the following values into the given equation: K = 226 N/mm2, s = 3 mm, c = 0.9, da = 18 mm, S = 1.5
20 x K x s x c 20 x 226 N/mm2 x 3 mm x 0,9

P = ____________ = _________________________ = 393 bar
S x (da + s x c) 1,5 x (18 mm + 3 mm x 0,9)
The following table shows a selection of common tube dimensions and the respective calculating pressures,
tube tolerances according to DIN 2391-1.
Please note that these calculations do not include the correction factor for considering wear and corrosion.

Selection of internal Tube Diameter
We would also like to present several possibilities for the selection of the appropriate internal tube
diameter:
The flow rate of hydraulic oil is determined by the fluid velocity and the pipe bore. Smaller diameters will
lead to higher velocities and turbulent flow which will certainly increase inner friction of the medium.
As mentioned before, a high turbulent flow can lead to growing system temperatures and undesired
pressure losses, badly influencing the system’s efficiency.
The following equation applies to all hydraulic systems:

Flow Rate = Fluid Velocity x Cross Sectional Area (Q = v x A)
We recommend the following approximate values for fluid velocities suitable for hydraulic systems:
Type of Tube Assembly Pressure Range Fluid Velocity

Suction line 1,0 m/s
Return line 3,0 m/s
Pressure line 0 – 25 bar 3,0 m/s
25 – 50 bar 4,0 m/s
50 – 100 bar 4,5 m/s
100 – 150 bar 5,0 m/s
150 – 210 bar 5,5 m/s
210 – 315 bar 6,0 m/s
Flow rate Q and pipe bore d are determined using the following equation:
V x d2 x π x 1,5
Q = ______________
100
with
Q = flow rate in l/min
v = fluid velocity in m/s
d = pipe bore in mm
Change the above equation to calculate the pipe bore:
100 x Q
d=
√ _________
1,5 x V x π
Example:
Determine the appropriate pipe bore of a tube to be used in a hydraulic system with a nominal pressure of
150 bar and a pump flow rate of 220 l/min.
Select the value for the fluid velocity from the table mentioned before:
v = 5,0 m/s
Calculate the pipe bore:

Example:
Determine the appropriate pipe bore for tubings used in a system with a nominal pressure PN = 35 bar. The
given flow rate is 80 l/min.
Solution:
Mark the value for Q in the diagram and select 4,0 m/s for the velocity as shown in the previous table and
mark it respectively in the right column. Then connect these two values with a straight line.
The intersection of the straight line with the central column indicates the value for the pipe bore.
In this case read: d = appr. 20 mm
Determination of Pressure Loss in Tube Assemblies
Pressure loss which unavoidably occurs in hydraulic systems can either be determined by measuring or by
calculation.
A detailed calculation of occuring pressure losses is very complicated to carry out, however we would like
to present some simple equations for the rough determination of pressure loss in straight tubes and tube
fittings and some general guidelines on how excessive pressure loss can be avoided.
Pressure loss is determined by the pipe bore, fluid velocity and the oil properties such as density and
viscosity.
The loss is caused by the fluid friction on the tube walls and the so-called inner friction of the hydraulic
oil.
At a certain point, rising fluid velocities make the flow profile change from a laminar to a turbulent profile,
leading to increased system temperatures and the related losses in pressure and system performance:
Properties of flow profiles are also characterised by the so called Reynold Number Re. The flow profile changes
from laminar to turbulent when the value of Re exceeds a certain limit.
It is obvious that a laminar flow profile is desired in straight tube lines, while turbulent flow profiles
occur in components such as valves, couplings and ball valves.
Pressure loss for straight tubes can be calculated as follows:
l x ρ x v2 x 10
∆p = λx ____________ in bar
dx2
with:
∆ρ = Pressure loss for a straight tube in bar (both laminar and turbulent flow)
λ = Tube friction factor
ρ = Density of hydraulic oil in kg/dm3, ρ = 0,89 kg/dm3 = 890 kg/m3
l = Pipe length in meter
v = Fluid velocity in m/s
d = Pipe bore in mm
ν = kinematic viscosity in cSt oder mm2/s
Q = Flow rate in l/min

Example:
Determine the resulting pressure loss for a straight tube line with an overall length of 1 m. The given flow
rate is 150 l/min with a fluid velocity of 5 m/s.
The calculation shall be applicable for a standard hydraulic oil HLP 46 type with a kinematic viscosity of
ν = 46 mm2/s = 46 cSt and a density of 0,89 kg/dm3.
Solution:
1. Determination of Reynolds Number Re:
vxd 5 m/s x 25 mm
Re = _____ 3 _____________ x 103 = 2713
ν x 10 = 46 mm2/s
In this case the value of Re exceeds 2320, therefore a turbulent flow profile can be assumed.
2. Determination of the tube friction factor for a turbulent flow:
0,316 = ______
0,316 = 0,0437
λturb. = ______

3. Calculation of the overall pressure loss

∆p = λx ____________ = 0,0437 ____________________________ = 0,194 bar
dx2 2 x 25 mm
We must emphasize that these equations only apply to straight pipes. As a tubing system usually consists
of straight and bent sections and other couplings the respective pressure losses have to be determined
separately and added to a total pressure loss.
Pressure loss of single components can be determined using a pressure loss coefficient ξ and the following
equation:
1
∆p = ξx ρ x _ v2
2
∆p = Pressure loss for a single component in bar
ξ = Pressure loss coefficient
ρ = Density of the hydraulic oil, ρ = 0,89 kg/dm3 = 890 kg/m3
v = Fluid velocity in m/s
We would like to make clear that numerous factors such as ambient temperature or vibrations can
considerably influence the occuring pressure loss of single components.
These equations should be used as a rough guideline only, we recommend carrying out practical tests
before hazardous applications.
Straight Fittings and Unions
These standard fittings usually have minimal pressure loss unless they have no reducing cross sectional
fitting bores.
The pressure loss coefficient ξ ranges from 0,01 to a maximum of 0,06.
Straight Reducers
In this case it is important to consider the flow direction of the fluid into the fitting, e.g. it must be
determined whether the oil is pumped from a small diameter into a large diameter or vice versa.
Pressure loss for fittings with the oil being pumped from a small cross sectional area into a larger cross
sectional area is determined as follows:
[ ]
A1
ξ = __ –1
A2
ξ = Pressure loss coefficient

A1 = cross sectional area where volume flow enters the fitting
A2 = cross sectional area where volume flow leaves the fitting
The factors listed below can be used for the calculations applicable for a volume flow being pumped from a
larger diameter into a smaller diameter:
A1/A2 0,75 0,55 0,40 0,20

ξ 0,15 0,25 0,35 0,40
Elbow Fittings
Pressure loss of both union, adjustable and non-adustable fittings can be determined using a coefficient of
ξ = 1.
Tube Bends
The pressure loss coefficient for tube bends depend on the ratio of bending radius to pipe bore:
Ratio bending radius to pipe bore Presse loss coefficient ξ

2 0,25
4 0,15
>6 0,12
T Fittings
In this case it is important to consider if a volume flow is divided or if two volume flows meet in the fitting.
The respective pressure loss coefficient also depends on the division ratio of the volume flow.
a) Two volume flows are joined together:
Pressure loss coefficient ξa Pressure loss coefficient ξb

Flow Division Ratio Qb/Qa for pipe junction for pipe junction
0,6 0,40 0,47
0,8 0,50 0,73
1,0 0,60 0,92
b) One volume flow is divided into two separate flows:

The volume flow Q = 100 l/min = 0,1 m3/min = 0,00166 m3/s.
The fitting internal diameter is 14 mm = 0,014 m. Hydraulic oil density ρ = 890 kg/m3.

Assembly Instructions
A careful assembly provides a safe and reliable performance of both fittings with cutting rings and 37° flare
fittings. Repeated assemblies can be carried out easily if these instructions are followed.
Assembly of fittings with cutting rings
We distinguish between the fitting procedures listed below:

a) Assembly using a hardened assembly die
b) Direct assembly
c) Mounting of pre-assembled fittings
We recommend the use of the assembly die which is manufactured of hardened tool steel. The material
strength will provide an excellent resistance against deformation thus leading the assembly forces into the
fitting and the tube. This will ensure a safer assembly.
Tube Preparation
– Cut tube at a 90° angle using a suitable saw. Do not use a pipe cutter as this will lead to a cone shaped
tube end which will affect the secure hold of the cutting ring. The permissible angular offset is 0,5°.
– Slightly debur tube ends. The permissible chamfer is 0,2 x 45°.
– Clean tube ends and remove particles which might affect function e.g. chips, dirt etc.
We recommend the use of support sleeves for the assembly of thin-walled tubes and copper or aluminium
tubes.
For tube bends the straight tube end should have a minimum length of at least 2 x nut height. The straight
end must not show any deviations in terms of circularity and straightness from the tolerances given in the
respective tube standard DIN 2391.
Assembly using a hardened assembly die
– Add oil to the threads and cone of the assembly device.

– Mount swivel nut and cutting ring on tube. Take care that cutting ring is mounted in right direction.
– Tighten nut by hand until a sharp increase of the assembly force is achieved.
– Make sure that the tube end is pressed against stop in assembly device, otherwise there will be no proper
cut of the ring into the tube.
– Tighten swivel nut about 1 turn using a spanner. Do not allow tube to turn with it.
Assembly Control
– Loosen swivel nut and check for visible collar of cut tube material on the front side of cutting ring.
– Under no circumstances should the cutting ring move sideways, it may only rotate.
– Insert pre-assembled tube into fitting body and fix swivel nut until an increase of the assembly force is
achieved. Then tighten the nut for another 1/2 turn. Also hold the fitting body with a spanner.
– Important: Check again for cut material collar.
Direct Assembly in the Fitting Body
– Lubricate threads and cone of the fitting body.

– Mount swivel nut and cutting ring on tube, take care that cutting ring is mounted in right direction on
tube otherwise there will be no function!
– Tighten nut by hand until a sharp increase of assembly force is achieved.
– Make sure that tube end is pressed against stop in assembly device, otherwise there will be no proper cut
of the ring into the tube.
– Tighten swivel nut for 1 1/2 turns with a spanner and also hold fitting body.
– Untighten fitting and check for visible collar of cut tube material in front of cutting ring.
– Under no circumstances should the cutting ring move sideways, it may only rotate.
Mounting of pre-assembled Fittings
– The cutting ring has already been pre-assembled. We do, however, recommend the use of fittings with a
captive 24° seal and O-Ring.
– Lubricate threads and cone with oil.
– Tighten nut by hand until a sharp increase of assembly force is achieved.
– Then tighten swivel nut for 1/2 turn with a spanner and also hold fitting body.
– Important: check also for material cut in front of cutting ring.
Assembly of 37° Flared Fittings
There are two possibilities for the assembly of flared fittings:

a) Flared fittings made using standard tube fittings with a 24° cone, port type W (DIN 2353 and DIN 3861
respectively)
b) Flared fittings according to SAE J 514 and ISO 8434-2.
Determination of Cut Length
The cut length is determined by the distance of the port ends of the respective tube fittings, the necessary
length of the non-flared tube is calculated by subtracting the value X for each tube end.
The shortening of the tube should always be considered as otherwise the tube will be clamped between the
fittings, leading to avoidable stresses.
The value for T allows the calculation of the overall length of the tube assembly. It corresponds to the
difference between the flare coupling body and the fitting with the cutting ring.
AD = Tube O.D.
S = Wall thickness in mm
T = Difference in length to standard cutting ring fitting according to DIN EN ISO 8434-1

Assembly of Flared Fittings with 24° Metric Port End (Type W according to DIN 3861)
– Cut tube at a 90° angle with a suitable saw. Do not use a pipe cutter as this will lead to improper sealing
surfaces.
– Slightly debur tube ends, do not “sharpen” the tube ends.
– Clean tube ends thoroughly from dirt and chips, as these remains might otherwise badly affect the sealing
surfaces.
– Mount nut and flare sleeve on adapter. Take care that flare sleeve is mounted in right direction.
– Flare tube ends using flaring machine or other appropriate device according to the list below. The flaring
diameter DB must be kept within the given limits.
The flared tube end must be concentric to the tube and have a clean and smooth surface to provide best
possible sealing.
– Assemble complete fitting accordingly and tighten swivel nut by hand until increase of tightening force is
felt.
– Use a spanner for the final assembly. Tighten swivel nut for another 1/4 to 1/2 turns.
– Repeated assemblies are carried out without additional extra force.

Assembly of Tube Fittings according to SAE J 514 and ISO 8434-2
These fittings consist of the fitting body, flare sleeve and swivel nut:
The flared tube is clamped between fitting body and sleeve leading to a firm connection of tube and fit-
ting.
Cut off tubes as described before and machine tube ends accordingly. For the assembly the swivel nut will be
mounted by hand until an increase of the assembly forces and then tightened for approximately 1/4 to 1/2
turn of the nut. Use a spanner for holding fitting body and swivel nut.
Repeated assemblies are carried out without additional extra force.
Assembly of HANSA-FLEX Weld Nipples
– Cut tube at a 90° angle, debur and prepare V-type welding seam according to DIN 2559.
– Mount swivel nut on weld nipple.
– Weld tube and fitting accordingly. For obvious reasons it is important, however, to remove the O-
Ring before welding and extra care needs to be taken to clean the fitting bore from possible welding
beads.
– Assemble O-Ring after the fitting has cooled down. Do not twist the sealing.
– Lubricate fitting for easier assembly.
– Mount swivel nut by hand until increase of assembly force is achieved. Use spanner for additional 1/4 turn
of swivel nut. The whole assembly should be mounted without mechanical tensions.
Conversion Tables – Pressure
Conversion tables – Pressure
Unit Pa = 1 N/m2 MPa bar at = kp/cm2 atm

1 Pa = 1 N/m2 1 0,000001 0,00001
1 MPa 1000000 1 10 10,19716 9,86923
1 bar 100000 0,1 1 1,01972 0,98692

1 atm 101325 0,10133 1,01325 1,03323 1
The pressure is obtained by dividing the force F by the area A: p = F/ A.

Newton (N) is the unit of the force F, m2 is the unit of the area A. The resulting equivalent unit of the
pressure (N/m2) is called Pascal (Pa).
In technology, we make use of higher equivalent units such as megapascal (Mpa), hectopascal (hPa) or bar
(bar). Millibar (mbar) is the equivalent unit for lower pressure rates.
N.B. : the former usual units such as at, atm, Torr and mmWS are no longer valid!
Example:
With a given pressure rate in Mpa (3,67 Mpa), determine the equivalence in bar.
(1) In the first column („unit“), mark 1 MPa.
(2) Go to the column „bar“ and read til the corresponding value 10.
(3) For the conversion, multiply 3,67 by 10.
(4) Answer: 3,67 MPa = 3,67 10 = 36,7 bar.
Conversion Table bar – psi
The pressure unit „pound per square inch“ (psi) is common in English or American speaking countries.
The conversion factor from bar to psi is around 14,504, i.e. 1 bar = 14,504 psi.
The conversion factor from psi to bar is around 0,069, i.e. 1 psi = 0,069 bar.

Find: equivalence in psi
Answer: conversion factor = 14,504
22,6 14,504 = 327,79 psi
(2) Known: 80 psi

Find: equivalence in bar
Answer: conversion factor = 0,069
