In the industry, a large number of technical abbreviations are used to describe dimensions, connections, pressure classes, materials, and various coupling types. To make things easier for you as a customer, we have gathered the most common abbreviations that appear on Hydroscand’s product pages and in our technical documentation.

Most of the abbreviations follow established industry standards and are used globally within hydraulics, pneumatics, industrial piping systems, and hoses. Therefore, this page serves not only as a guide to Hydroscand’s own abbreviations, but also as a useful reference for general technical abbreviations you may encounter in the industry.

This guide is particularly useful for:

• quickly interpreting specifications for hoses, couplings, and tubes

• understanding product data online and in technical data sheets

• getting clear explanations that help both professionals and beginners
