Types of Fluid Connections
Fluid connectors are devices that allow a person to change the flow of liquid from one system to another with a simple twist of a valve. These fittings, also known as oil accumulators or oil seals, play a vital role in a number of different industries. From automotive to plumbing to aerospace, the variety of applications of these devices is limited only by the imagination. There are a wide variety of fluid couplings available, including: Oil Couplings are devices that hold an oil and gas mix together. These fittings are used in the same way that rubber or plastic seals are used. The two components need to be attached to each other using a wrench, clamps, or other type of fastening device. This is often seen in aircraft engines where solid fuel oil is used instead of liquid lubrication. Fluid isolators are also commonly used in applications requiring pressure isolation. In this application, the isolation is created by changing the liquid output of an engine without changing the p...
