Equipment

Pressure Connections Uses the latest in technology to make sure every part lives up to our high standards.

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)

Male O-Ring Face Seal Groove Diameters.
The CMM is the only way to identify and discard out of spec OFS grooves that will not give the correct Fill & Squeeze (1) for the O-ring to seal properly.
Internal Flares like Female JIC and Female JIC Swivel
The CMM enables us to identify and discard parts that have incorrect sealing angles.
Female O-Ring Boss Counter Bore Angles
The CMM identifies and discards the angles that will not give the proper Fill & Squeeze (1) of the O-ring for a proper seal.

Third-Party Calibration on a regular, computer-scheduled basis.
Long-Form Certifications for each newly purchased gauge & recalibration.
No-Go Gauges
No-Go gauges enable us identify parts that have insufficient thread material. Insufficient threaded parts cannot reliably handle the PSI ratings set forth by SAE.
Go Gauges
Go gauges enable us inspect and eliminate parts that would be difficult to install properly.
L1 / L2 Gauges
These gauges allow us to examine and discard male pipe threads that can bottom out and cause a spiral leak path.
6-Step Gauges
The 6-Step guage facilitates inspecting and discarding parts that have flat threads that will not seal.
Calipers
Calipers assist in inspecting & discarding incorrect male O-ring diameters that can allow an improper Fill & Squeeze (1) or percentage of rubber in the hole.

The Quadracheck 2000 is used to identify and discard out of spec JIC nose diameters and 37° angles.

Male JIC Nose Diameters
We discard small diameters that will distort the sealing surface and prevent a proper seal.
Male JIC 37° Angles
We reject the sealing angles that won't seal properly.

Male and Female JIC Flare, Female OFS Flat-Face, Female O-Ring Boss, and 30° chamfers.

Tests the hardness of the steel to ensure tensile strength, which is needed to keep the connection tight.
