Hydraulic Thread / Tube Dash Size

07/16/2010 2:41 AM

I keep coming across this dash size with hydraulic fittings and tube.

Where does this come from? Does this refer to sixteenths of and inch?

There seems to be a lot of "industry standard" stuff out there with no actual basis to it.

Fittings!!!! - no more simple than changing a fluorescent light bulb for the inexperienced!

Yes, it does refer to sixteenths of an inch. Who decided this I do not know.

Now, for the grand prize, someone tell us of the origins of pipe sizes!
