What Is a Hydraulic Hose?
Hydraulic hoses are flexible and reinforced hoses that are capable of safely transporting hydraulic fluid under high pressure. They are designed and manufactured according to industry standards and local and federal law and can be used in hydraulic systems across a range of industries.
Hydraulic hoses have three components: the inner tube, reinforcement layers, and a durable cover. They are connected to machinery or hydraulic systems using specialized fittings. Hydraulic fluid is pumped from the machinery's reservoir into the hose and then pushes through actuators and other components. The fluid is then transported through the hose and can navigate around other objects or obstacles to connect to other components of the hydraulic system.
How to Choose the Right Type of Hydraulic Hose
Our experienced team can help you choose the right type of hydraulic hose for your industry needs and application. We will guide you through the process of considering the following factors:
- Size – The size of the hose, including its inner and outer diameters and length, is used to determine safe and efficient flow and prevent problems caused by stress or pressure.
- Temperature – The hose must be properly rated to withstand the temperature of the fluid and the ambient temperature of the environment.
- Application – The hose must be rated for the specific application for which it will be used, taking into consideration the equipment, environment, abrasion, load, and pressure.
- Media – The hose must be rated for the specific fluid that is being transported, whether it is oil, water, or chemicals.
- Pressure – The hose must be able to withstand the maximum operating pressure of your hydraulic system.
