How to Choose Hydraulic Hose

 

Material
The material of the hydraulic hose should have chemical compatibility with the hydraulic fluid coming in contact with it. The hose is generally made up of synthetic rubber, like NBR (nitrile), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), and SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber). However, they can also be thermoplastics, Teflon, or silicone. Synthetic rubber hoses are suitable to use with hydraulic oils.

 

Pressure
The hydraulic hose must be able to withstand the maximum working pressure, including pressure spikes that may occur during the operation.

 

Temperature
The hydraulic hose should be able to work comfortably in a defined temperature range. Exposure to high temperatures for a long time can cause the hose to lose its flexibility. A high-temperature hydraulic hose should be used for such applications.

 

Length
The hose length should be enough to allow for bending and flexing during the movement of the machinery parts.

 

Diameter
The inside diameter of the hose should be compatible with the fluid flow rate for the application. The smaller the diameter, the higher the velocity. This high velocity will cause excess heat, friction, and turbulence in the system.

 

Bending radius
A bending radius is a minimum radius that a looped hose can achieve without causing any damage to the hose. Bending should not occur at the start of the hose end fitting because this might result in leaks at the hose fitting. Tight bends can increase the turbulence of the hydraulic fluid which can damage the inner layer of the hose.

 

Reinforcement
The reinforcements can be helical, spiral, or braided design. Helical design is best for suction application and spiral design for extreme high-pressure applications. A braided design is best used for a low or moderately high-pressure application.

 

End connection
Depending upon your requirement, hydraulic hoses are available with pre-made fittings for fast and easy connection, or without fittings for easy customization according to your application. For pre-made fittings, it is important to ensure the correct size fittings for compatibility with your system.

 

Accessories
The hoses need to be equipped with specialized hydraulic accessories to make sure they can fit on the pumps/actuators. Hydraulic hose clamps and hydraulic hose crimpers are used to ensure the hose is properly connected to the fittings and are crimped to the exact diameter. The fittings used should be specifically designed for the hydraulic application, with the ability to withstand high pressure. A hydraulic hose cutter can be used to ensure the perfect length of the hose for the application.

 

 
Process of Hydraulic Hose
 
01/

According to the formula, the inner rubber layer, the middle rubber layer and the outer rubber layer of the wound hydraulic pipe are prepared by using a kneading machine; and the inner oil pipe is extruded and coated on the soft core coated with the release agent by using the extrusion equipment. Or on the hard core, but be careful not to use the die when using liquid nitrogen freezing.

02/

Pressing the pad of the middle layer of rubber with a calender, then adding a release agent to wind up and cutting into a prescribed width according to the requirements of the winding hydraulic pipe manufacturing process.

03/

Then, the inner tubing containing the die is wound on the winding machine or the braiding machine for copper-plated steel wire or copper-plated steel wire rope.

04/

Next, the outer layer of rubber is coated on the extruder and then wrapped with lead or a vulcanized protective layer.

05/

This step is mainly to carry out the necessary vulcanization by winding the hydraulic pipe through a vulcanization tank or a salt bath.

06/

Afterwards, the vulcanized protective layer of the wound hydraulic pipe is removed, and then the core is taken out, and the pipe joint is buckled, and then the sampling and pressing test can be performed.

How to Maintain Hydraulic Hose

 

 

Regular Inspection
Inspect hydraulic hoses regularly to check for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Hoses that show signs of wear or damage should be replaced immediately.

 

Proper Installation
Properly install hydraulic hoses to prevent them from being over-stressed, bent or twisted. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing hydraulic hoses.

 

Correct Routing
Route hydraulic hoses correctly to prevent them from being pinched or crushed. Keep hoses away from sharp edges, hot surfaces, or other potential hazards.

 

Cleanliness
Keep hydraulic hoses clean and free from debris to prevent contamination. Dirty hoses can cause damage to hydraulic systems and decrease the efficiency of the equipment.

 

Proper Storage
Properly store hydraulic hoses when not in use to prevent damage from sunlight, heat, or moisture. Hoses should be stored in a cool, dry place.

 

Operating Temperature
Make sure hydraulic hoses are operating within their specified temperature range. Excessive heat can cause hoses to weaken or burst, while too low temperatures can cause the hoses to become stiff and brittle.

 

Replacement Schedule
Develop a replacement schedule for hydraulic hoses based on their usage and the manufacturer's recommendations. Replacing hoses regularly can help prevent unexpected downtime and costly repairs.

 

 
5 Ways to Lengthen Your Hydraulic Hose Lifespan
 

Ensure the hose is not pulled too tight and that there a no kinks/knots
This is usually due to poor installation, and can cause structural weakness but can be easily avoided if fitted correctly.

 

Abrasion
Physical external damage is the most common cause of hose failure. Ensuring the hoses are not rubbing against each other or surrounding surfaces will help increase its lifespan.

 

Protection
Adding a hose guard, hose cover, hose sleeve or hose shield can prove beneficial to protecting the hydraulic hose from abrasion, flames and movement. Our hose protection equipment is designed to provide reliability and long-lasting protection for not only the hose but also for operatives as hose sleeves hold the energy of any potential bursts.

 

Never re-end hose
Re-ending hoses is a very dangerous practice and can be fatal.

FAQ
 

 

Q: What is the life expectancy of a hydraulic hose?

A: Between 5 to 10 years
On average, hydraulic hoses can last between 5 to 10 years under normal operating conditions. However, factors such as exposure to high temperatures, abrasion, and chemicals can shorten their lifespan.

Q: What kind of hose can I use for hydraulic fluid?

A: Rubber. Rubber hydraulic hoses are usually made of nitrile rubber since it's compatible with most hydraulic fluids. Rubber hoses can either have textile braid for lower pressure applications under 1,000 psi, or high tensile steel wire for pressures up to 7,000 psi and beyond.

Q: How do I know what size hydraulic hose I need?

A: Refer to Manufacturer's Specifications: Consult the manufacturer's specifications or hydraulic hose catalog to find the recommended maximum flow velocity and pressure ratings for various hose sizes. These specifications will help you choose the right hose size based on the calculated velocity and pressure requirements.

Q: Do hydraulic hoses wear out?

A: Hydraulic hoses are built to be robust and withstand pressure but they're not infallible. Over time, and without professional maintenance, a hose can both naturally degrade and also sustain damage, causing it to fail prematurely.

Q: Does O'Reilly's make hydraulic hoses?

A: O'Reilly Auto Parts builds custom hydraulic hoses using Gates Hydraulic hose and Gates Hydraulic fittings. We carry Gates MXT, 4-wire, and non-conductive hydraulic hose, and can even special-order hydraulic hose for your application.

Q: How often should hydraulic hoses be replaced?

A: Between one and two years
Hydraulic hoses should last between one and two years with many lasting up to ten years, so if the hoses on your equipment are failing in less than two years, then there are external factors that are reducing their life.

Q: Does Napa make hydraulic hoses?

A: NAPA is known for its wide variety of auto parts but we also specialize in high pressure hydraulic hoses. We have high-pressure hoses, pressure hydraulic systems, and a wide variety of fittings in many configurations are available in permanent coll-o-crimp or field attachable.

Q: What causes a hydraulic hose to break?

A: Hydraulic hose manufacturers estimate that 80% of hose failures are attributable to external physical damage through pulling, kinking, crushing or abrasion of the hose. Abrasion caused by hoses rubbing against each other or surrounding surfaces is the most common type of damage.

Q: How many psi is a hydraulic hose?

A: Almost all hydraulic hose has a 4:1 ratio of minimum burst pressure to recommended maximum working pressure. For example, 1/4" SAE 100R2AT two-wire hose has a minimum burst pressure of 20,000 PSI and a maximum working pressure of 5,000 PSI.

Q: What is the most flexible hydraulic hose?

A: Rubber and elastomeric hydraulic hose are a strong choice when you need flexibility. A Fluoropolymer hose has a durable flex life, it also has excellent corrosion and chemical resistance and it can handle high temperatures. Thermoplastic hydraulic hose has a tight minimum bend radius.

Q: How tight should hydraulic hoses be?

A: Once aligned, tighten the nut until it is "firm" against the washer and o-ring, with the nut becoming snug with a feel of metal-on-metal in less than one revolution. Over-tightening causes as many leaks as under-tightening.

Q: Does hydraulic hose length matter?

A: The hose's length determines how much hydraulic fluid will safely pass through the pipeline before it breaks, slows, or jams. Longer hoses can handle a greater volume and a more rapid hydraulic fluid flow rate.Air contamination is the entrance of air into a hydraulic system and consists of two types - aeration and cavitation. Both can cause severe damage to the hydraulic system over time by wearing down the pump and surrounding components, contaminating hydraulic fluids and even overheating the system.

Q: How do I choose a hydraulic hose?

A: It is important to know both the system working pressure and any surge pressures and spikes. Select a hose with the published maximum working pressure equal to or greater than the maximum system pressure AND any surge pressures or peak transient pressures in the system.

Q: How do you know if your hydraulic hose is bad?

A: Visual damage: If you notice any visible damage to the hose, such as cuts, abrasions, or kinks, it is a sign that the hose needs to be replaced immediately. It is essential to inspect hydraulic hoses regularly for signs of wear, damage, or leaks to prevent equipment downtime and potential safety hazards.

Q: How do I stop my hydraulic lines from leaking?

A: Over time, seals can wear out or get damaged, resulting in fluid leakage. To stop leaks, regularly inspect seals and replace them as necessary. Corrosion or contamination of fittings can compromise their integrity and cause leaks. Use appropriate materials and ensure a clean hydraulic system to prevent these issues.

Q: Who should replace a hydraulic hose that has a leak?

A: If you don't have such equipment or expertise (or time), it's best to go to a trusted supplier who can quickly create a durable, reliable replacement. One of the best ways to prevent a hose from failing is to replace it before it wears too far.

Q: Can you fix a hydraulic hose with tape?

A: No, you cannot fix a hydraulic hose with tape. Hydraulic hoses operate under very high pressure, and a tape repair wouldn't be able to withstand that pressure. Attempting to fix a hydraulic hose with tape could result in a catastrophic failure and potential injury when the hose is pressurized.

Q: What happens when a hydraulic hose fails?

A: Hose Burst.System failure results in equipment shutdown which leads to costly downtime and expensive repairs. In addition, under high pressures there is the potential of serious physical injury from hydraulic injection caused by hoses bursting or pinhole leaks.

Q: How do you test a hydraulic hose?

A: To conduct a burst test on hydraulic hose assemblies, the pressure is consistently increased beyond its proof pressure until the assembly is no longer able to be used due to failure.Refer to Manufacturer's Specifications: Consult the manufacturer's specifications or hydraulic hose catalog to find the recommended maximum flow velocity and pressure ratings for various hose sizes. These specifications will help you choose the right hose size based on the calculated velocity and pressure requirements.

Q: Do hydraulic hoses need to be bled?

A: One of the primary reasons you need to bleed hydraulic lines is to remove air from the system. Air entering the system can cause various problems, such as reduced efficiency and increased wear on components. Bleeding the lines helps to remove air from the system and allows the system to operate more efficiently.
