Important Factors in the Selection of Hydraulic Hoses
There are a number of factors to consider while selecting a hydraulic hose. These include:
- Type: There are many different types of hydraulic hoses including 2 wire braid, heavy spiral and suction hoses. To ensure maximum performance and durability, make sure you have the right one.
- Size: Determine the inside and outside diameter and length of the hydraulic hose you are replacing. Custom lengths are no problem at all. We can easily tailor our products to meet your specific needs.
- Application: Pay careful attention to equipment type, fluid compatibility, environmental factors and whether or not the hose fittings will be permanent or detachable. Also think about the bend radius or flexibility your application requires.
- Temperature: Hydraulic and pneumatic hoses are rated for internal liquid temperature as well as that of the external working environment. Improper use affects the hose’s output and shortens lifespan.
- Pressure: While hydraulic hoses are designed to withstand both internal and external pressure exceeding the prescribed ratings will impact performance and safety. Determine what your exact requirements are and include pressure spikes.
- Fluid type: Ensure that the hose you order is compatible with the fluid you intend to use it for. A hydraulic hose for petroleum, for instance, cannot be used for synthetic oils.
