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.
