SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) threads and ORB (O-Ring Boss) threads are both used in hydraulic fittings, but they differ in design and application. SAE threads typically refer to straight threads that require a separate sealing mechanism, such as an O-ring or gasket, to ensure a leak-proof connection. ORB threads, on the other hand, have a straight thread design specifically intended to work with an O-ring that sits in a groove, providing a more robust and reliable seal directly at the interface, which is particularly suitable for high-pressure applications.
