Hydraulic Hose

Hydraulic hoses connects components and transfer hydraulic energy.

Inner tube

Reinforcement layer

Protective outer layer

1. Inner tube must be compatible with working fluid and flexible. Material may be synthetic rubber, Teflon or thermoplastics

2. Reinforcement layer consists of braided wire, textile yarn, or spiral-wound wire

3. Protective outer layer is designed to resist weather, oil, or abrasions

Construction:

Hose selection Guide “Gates”

•Size: The I.D. of the hose must be adequate to keep pressure drop & turbulence to minimum.

•Temperature: Hose should be capable of withstanding both minimum & maximum temperature seen by system, and care should be taken while routing near hot zone( Heat protective cover is recommended) .

•Application: Before selecting the hose, study should be done on where used, type, application etc parameters.

•Material to be conveyed: Knowledge on medium to be conveyed is important to properly select hose + end couplers .

•Pressure: Hose should be selected based on system working pressure (recommendation from hose manufactures should be considered).

•Ends couplings: End couplers are selected based on the size and type needed for the hose lay out.

•Delivery: Hose selected should have enough volume to deliver volume of fluid with proper velocity.
