What is the ID of an hose?
Inner diameter
Inner diameter (I.D.) is the span of the empty space in a circular hose cross-section that affects the flow velocity of the fluid within the hose.
How do you read a hose size?
In the vast majority of common hydraulic hoses, the I.D. measurement is divided into 1/16” increments known as the “dash size.” For example, a hose measuring 3/4” ID will be shown as a “-12” coming from the numerator of the fraction of 3/4″=12/16”. A 1” ID would be 16/16 or a -16, and so on.
How do you identify an fitting?
As mentioned earlier, you can always identify AN fittings based on the male thread size (outside diameter). These sizes are constant regardless of brand, hose type, or fitting configuration. If your fitting has a convex 37 degree flare at the end, the threads will tell you the AN size (and vice-versa).
What size hose is 8 an?
Plumbing Basics – AN Fittings & Hoses
| AN Size | Hose i.d. – Tube o.d. | SAE Thread Size |
|---|---|---|
| -8 | 1/2 in. | 3/4 in.-16 |
| -10 | 5/8 in. | 7/8 in.-14 |
| -12 | 3/4 in. | 1 1/16 in.-12 |
| -16 | 1 in. | 1 5/16 in.-12 |
Is heater hose measured by ID or OD?
Hoses are measured by the I.D because they fit over a metal/solid tube. This hose above, as you can see, measures 32.10mm, so this is a 32mm inside diameter hose.
What size is an6 hose?

Are JIC and an fittings the same?
The majority of the hydraulic population agrees, the JIC (or SAE) 37 degree fittings are generally interchangeable with AN fittings. And it’s worth noting that the JIC fittings are a fraction of the price of their true “AN” counterparts.
How do you find fitting threads?
Thread dimensions are based on the ID of the pipe. Use a caliper, measuring tape, or ruler to measure the thread diameter of a male thread or female thread. Measure the inner diameter (ID) of the female thread and the outer diameter (OD) of the male thread. This number will help determine the thread dimension.
What size is an4?
What ID is 4AN hose?
AN Fitting and Hose Sizes
| Male Thread Size | AN Size* | Hose ID** |
|---|---|---|
| 7/16-20 | 4AN | 0.22″ |
| 9/16-18 | 6AN | 0.34″ |
| 3/4-16 | 8AN | 0.44″ |
| 7/8-14 | 10AN | 0.56″ |
How are Anan hose sizes determined?
AN hose sizes are based on the nominal OD of the tubing with a matching ID. It sounds convoluted, but it really is a simple idea that achieves a logical goal.
What do AN6 fittings and hose sizes mean?
AN fittings and hose sizes and what they mean for your ride. by Hot Rod Fuel Hose October 26, 2017. Now the fittings are pretty easy to figure out and AN fittings could be measure in DASH sizes. Where every dash number is 1/16 of an inch an AN6 fitting would be equivalent to 6/16″ or 3/8″. Fitting size. AN8 8/16″ or 1/2″ for example.
Is this an8 performance hose equivalent to a 1/2 inch hard line?
However this does not equate to 1/2 I.D. of the hose. This AN8 performance hose would be equivalent to a 1/2″ Hard Line measured on the O.D. of the hard line tubing.
What is the difference between 6an hose and 3an hose?
For example, 8AN hose has the same ID as a 1/2″ nominal tube (8/16 = 1/2). 3AN hose has the same ID as a 3/16″ tube. This means that 6AN hose will not introduce any appreciable flow restriction in a fuel system designed around 3/8″. OD rigid tubing.
