The concept of crimping

Information has not been updated for a long time

Different techniques have been created to achieve a goal in the industrial world. Few are created in mind keeping the temporary aspect but a majority of them are manufactured for the long-lasting purpose. 

The Continental Hydraulic Hose fittings are a part of this format. The Hydraulics department deals with managing high-pressure conditions created by fluids. 

Constantly maintaining this pressure can turn out to be difficult if the right kind of mechanisms is not used. 

The mechanism that has suited well here is called crimping. In a general sense, the words refer to holding and putting pressure on an object. 

Here, it is the same. Crimping in hydraulics refers to joining two different ends of wires, pipes, etc. and joining them at the ends by deforming them. 

The seal that is created in between is airtight. It cannot be breached easily. This helps in maintaining high pressure inside the pipes and ultimately the system. 

Only after a major malfunction will the connection break or take a hit that can leave it useless.
