DIN Connections are also used in Check Valves & Non Return Valves depending on what your application is.
Check/Non Return Valves
A check valve, otherwise known as a non return valve is a spring loaded valve used in liquid systems where the flow should only go in one direction and safeguards from back flow. These valves are able to be installed inline and look very much like a large fitting.
In this post, we will talk about four different types of DIN Fittings including DIN 2353 24° cone, DIN 2353 fittings, metric standpipe fittings & banjo fittings.
DIN Metric and BSPP (British Standard Parallel Pipe) are the most common thread styles in Europe. DIN type tube fittings conform to the requirements of ISO 8434-1, DIN 2353, and DIN EN 3850 standards. This ensures the interchangeability with leading brands of fittings.
With their growing popularity globally, many U.S. OEMs are adopting DIN fittings.
This, combined with the rise in equipment being imported into the Americas from European manufacturers, is resulting in DIN metric fittings becoming more common in the U.S..
For decades JIC fittings have been the industry standard in the U.S.. However, they are more susceptible to cracked flares from over torqueing. The mated sealing surfaces in DIN metric fittings and O-ring face seal fittings reduce the risk of over torqueing and provide greater reliability because of the elastomeric seal in the mating surface.
You may already be familiar with the term "DIN Fittings" but do you know what it actually stands for and what DIN fittings are commonly used for?
DIN stands for "Deutsches Institut für Normung", which means "German institute for Standardization". DIN 2353 tube fittings are most commonly used in industrial, oil & gas and construction equipment in hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Metric O.D. sizes range from 4mm to 42mm, and the most common industrial applications use carbon steel or stainless steel material.
