HYDRAULIC HOSE

 

Are you looking for hydraulic hoses? The Hose Shop provides fabrication and repair for hydraulic as well as many other types of hoses and hose accessories.

 The hydraulic hoses are extremely useful equipment that transports the fluids to and from hydraulic components. These hoses work under high-pressure conditions and therefore require a strong and durable built. Hydraulic hoses are constructed with multiple reinforcement layers that make them suitable for industrial use. Hydraulic hoses require a variety of services when in use. If you are looking for any such service, then the Hose Shop has excellent workers with professional expertise in dealing with different issues that the hydraulic hoses develop over time. 


How to choose a hydraulic hose? 

Hydraulic hoses come in different types for various applications. Certain factors should be kept in mind when choosing a hydraulic hose. Here are a few:

  • Size

Hydraulic hoses come in many sizes. You have to consider the outer diameter, inner diameter, length, and other measurements related to the size of the hose. Accurate measurements are necessary to ensure the perfect fitting of the hose with the appliance. 

  • Temperature

Hydraulic hoses are made of different materials to suit different uses. Your hydraulic hose should be made of a material that can sustain the temperatures at which it will be used. The maximum temperature range for hoses is between 200 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. If the hose is exposed to a temperature higher than it can withstand, it might get damaged causing the fluid to leak out.

  • Pressure 

Hydraulic hoses usually operate under conditions of high or very high pressure. Every hose has a rating that indicates the maximum pressure it can tolerate. Pick out the right one based on the numbers given. 

  • Connection ends

The hose endings are made to fit into specific applications only. Some hydraulic hoses are designed for permanent connection, while others are detachable. Based on your application, you have to choose a hose that has compatible connection ends. 

  • Material used

The most common type of hydraulic hoses is made of rubber. These are mainly used for transporting water. If the hydraulic fluid contains strong chemicals, the material of the hose should be chosen accordingly. The material should not get corroded by the fluid in it. 

  • The uniqueness of the product

It is an important point to consider. If the hydraulic hose is used regularly, you might need replacement in few months or a few years. Look for hoses that are easily available and can be delivered in time. Avoid choosing the rare products.

Custom Hose Fittings

Are you looking for Hydraulic Hose Fittings dealer in NJ? The Hose Shop is a proud supplier of a wide-range of Hydraulic Hose Fittings dealer including FILL-RITE fuel pumps, FILL-RITE fuel transfer pumps, and FILL-RITE fuel meters.

Custom Hose Fittings

The hose is useful only when connected to other components or equipment. Multiple custom fittings will be required to attach the hose to the components that need fluid moving from one part to another. These fittings are crucial for the system to work smoothly. 

How to choose the right fittings?

The fittings come in various shapes and sizes, each having its set of characteristics. They are all made of metal like steel and brass. The construction and the material of a fitting depend on its application. The most common applications are in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, where the first works on liquids and the latter works on gases. Fittings used in hydraulic systems should possess seals that can prevent the liquid from leaking. They are also expected to resist any damage caused by the chemicals. For the pneumatic systems, seals should be much tighter than that of hydraulic fittings as gas can easily leak. 

The best way to get a fitting is to consult expert technicians who can give you a clear idea of what works best for the system you are going to use. 

Types of Hose Fittings

The difference among fittings is dependent on the connection they make and their purpose. 

        Barbed fittings

The tube is barbed that fits into the ridges of the hose. A tapered stub is attached to tighten the grip. If you are having a low-pressure application, barbed tubes can do the job. However, the seal is not too strong.

        Sleeve and ball

The sleeve on the outside is pushed into a ball inside. The retraction movement helps to connect and disconnect the tube from the hose. This kind of fitting is easier to use. 

        Threaded fittings

The fitting has screw threads to accept the connection. The threads may be on the inner or outer surface. When assembling this fitting with a hose, the threads on both ends should be of opposite nature to match. These threaded fittings provide a tight seal in the hose. 

        Flange fittings

It consists of a flat flush that is perpendicular to a port. Hoses usually come with built-in flange connections. The sealing is provided with clamps or welding. 

        Flare fittings

They are inserted using compression. The ends are tapered like a cone head that fits into the hose using some tools. These are best when using in systems handling high pressures. The seal is tight preventing any leakage.

Hydraulic Hose Service NJ

Are you looking for hydraulic hose service in NJ? The Hose Shop provides fabrication and repair for hydraulic as well as many other types of hoses and hose accessories.

 Hydraulic Hose Service NJ

Hydraulic hoses are used to move fluids to and from valves, tools, or actuators. The hoses need professionals for assembling the parts and for occasional repair and replacement jobs. The Hose Shop in NJ provides all sorts of services with the hydraulic hoses. Small, medium, or large hoses, the technicians at Hose Shop can help customers to have a working hydraulic hose with excellent repairs, in a short time and at reasonable rates. 

Common causes of Hydraulic hose failure

Hydraulic hoses often display various issues and can cause delays in work. Here is a list of the common problems that lead to hose failures and need repairs:

        Erosion of hydraulic hose tube

The tube in the hose carries the fluids. In case of erosion, the fluid inside the tube starts to leak out. It spills over to other parts and may cause further damages to the hydraulic hose. The problem is often caused due to high-velocity streams of the fluid inside the tube that exerts immense pressure on the tube walls. 

        Depth of insertion

The hose is composed of many small parts that need to be assembled precisely. Each component has a fixed depth of insertion that must be met for the hose to function correctly. If the insertions are not right, the hose might blow off leading to difficult situations. 

        Wrong assembly

The assembly of all parts of the hose should be done correctly to avoid any unwanted deposition of debris. The dirt can cause the hose tube to crack causing inefficiencies. The fluid also starts to leak if the tube gets damaged. 

        Abrasion

Hydraulic hoses are put through rigorous work regularly, especially in the industries. The hose gets subjected to abrasion which leads to wear and tear. If regular inspections are not done, the increased friction will cause serious damages to the hose and the components dependent on it. 

        Overheating

Constant use of the hydraulic hose in temperatures higher than permitted levels leads to overheating. It causes the tube to stiffen. Then it starts to crack, and the fluid leaks out. Therefore, it is necessary to use the hose at permissible temperatures only. 

        Incompatible fluid

The hydraulic hose will have a particular fluid with which the assembly is compatible. An incompatible fluid will lead to swellings or other damages to the inner tube. In extreme cases, the inner tube might get washed out.
