Proper use of hydraulic hoses



Sometimes hydraulic hoses fail quickly, and sometimes hoses are very durable. This does not mean that hoses that fail quickly are of poor quality. The service life of a hydraulic hose assembly largely depends on its usage conditions.
During model selection and use, the following measures can be taken to extend the service life of the assembly:
1. Installation of hose assembly: The installation of hydraulic hose assembly should comply with relevant standards on the direction and layout of hydraulic hoses to ensure that the hose assembly is used correctly.
2. Working pressure: The hydraulic system pressure should not exceed the rated working pressure of the hose. Pressure rises or spikes above rated operating pressure are extremely damaging and must be considered when selecting hoses.
3. Minimum burst pressure: Burst pressure is limited to destructive testing for the purpose of determining the design safety factor.
4. Temperature range: Do not use hoses under temperature conditions exceeding recommended limits, including internal and external temperatures. If the hydraulic fluid used contains emulsions or solutions, please consult the relevant technical data separately.
Regardless of the hose's service temperature range, the maximum service temperature recommended by the fluid manufacturer must not be exceeded.
5. Fluid compatibility: The inner rubber layer, outer rubber layer, reinforcement layer and hose joints of the hydraulic hose assembly must be compatible with the fluid used.
Proper hose must be used because the chemistries of phosphate-based and petroleum-based hydraulic fluids are completely different, and many hoses are suitable for one or more fluids, but not all fluid types.
6. Minimum bending radius: The hose must not be bent less than the recommended minimum bending radius, nor must the hose be subjected to tension or torque. This may cause the reinforcement layer to bear excessive stress and greatly reduce the hose's ability to withstand pressure. .

7. Hose size: The inner diameter of the hose size must be able to handle the required flow rate. Under a specific flow rate, if the inner diameter is too small, it will cause excessive fluid pressure and generate heat, causing damage to the inner rubber layer.
9. Hose length: Determining the correct hose length should take into account changes in length under pressure, machine vibration and movement, and routing of the hose assembly.
10. Hose application: Select the appropriate hose according to the specific application. Special fluids or high temperature performance are examples of applications that require special considerations for specialized hoses.

11. Hose wear-resistant layer: Choose the appropriate hose according to the specific application. When the vibration is relatively strong and the hose is in contact with other parts, it is necessary to use a hose with a wear-resistant layer or wrap a protective layer to prevent wear.
In-use hose assemblies should be inspected regularly for leaks, kinks, cover blistering, abrasions, abrasions, or other damage. When the assembly is found to be damaged or worn, it must be replaced immediately.
