ORB (O-Ring Boss) and JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are both types of hydraulic fittings but differ in their sealing methods and applications. ORB fittings use an O-ring to create a leak-proof seal, making them ideal for high-pressure applications. JIC fittings, on the other hand, have a 37-degree flare seating surface and rely on metal-to-metal contact for the seal, which allows them to be used in a wide range of applications due to their versatility and ability to handle moderate pressures.
