Hydraulic hose SAE 100 R5 is engineered to deliver hydraulic oil, liquid, as well as gas. It can efficiently transfer petrol-based liquids such as mineral oil, hydraulic oil, fuel oil, and lubricants. Additionally, it is perfectly suitable for water-based liquids.
This hose is widely applied across various industries, including oil, transport, metallurgy, mining, and forestry. It serves as an ideal solution for all medium-pressure applications.
SAE 100 R5 features a specialized construction consisting of an inner tube, steel wire reinforcement, and a textile cover.
To ensure optimal performance and safety, consider the following five key factors when selecting your hose:
1. Pressure Compatibility: Ensure the work pressure fits your requirements. If the work pressure exceeds the hose's capacity, it will significantly reduce service life or cause a burst. However, selecting an excessively high-pressure hose is unnecessary.
2. Proper Sizing: The hose must fix onto the machine correctly. Incorrect sizing (too small or too large) will lead to blockages or connection problems.
3. Medium Confirmation: Different mediums require specific materials. For instance, acidic liquids necessitate a hose with specialized chemical resistance.
4. Length Considerations: The hose should be slightly longer than the actual distance. Hydraulic hoses experience shock and vibration during use; if the hose is too short, it remains taut, leading to premature failure.
5. Working Conditions: Always keep the hose away from sharp objects or abrasive environments that could cause physical damage.
