I’ve written technical content focused on hose systems, thread identification, and fluid power performance. These articles are designed to simplify complex topics and make them more practical for field use. My goal is to bridge the gap between engineering standards and day to day application decisions.
Below are a few examples of my published work.
While working in hydraulic hose and fitting sales, I saw how often hose sizing is overlooked in the automotive aftermarket. Tube size has a direct impact on system performance, yet it is frequently misunderstood or ignored.
I wrote this article to simplify a technically dense topic and provide sales teams, technicians, and product managers with a clearer understanding of how hose diameter influences flow rate, pressure drop, and overall system efficiency.
The article was first published in the Gates Industrial Newsletter and was later featured by two leading industry publications:
Machine Design
Power & Motion (formerly Hydraulics & Pneumatics)
It appeared in the July/August 2021 print edition of Power & Motion and was highlighted as a cover feature.
Accurate hydraulic coupling identification begins with a clear understanding of thread characteristics and standards. While Gates provides North American and BSP/Metric Thread ID kits, the information can be difficult to interpret without proper context.
I wrote this article to make thread identification more practical and accessible for sales representatives, counter staff, and technicians working in the field. It walks through four key areas:
Physical thread characteristics
Major thread standards, including SAE, BSP, and Metric
Proper thread measurement techniques
How to apply this information alongside Gates Thread ID kits to identify couplings accurately
The article has been widely used as a training reference for professionals new to hydraulic coupling identification and supports my broader focus on simplifying technical topics for real world application.
