When choosing a hydraulic hose, the following factors need to be considered:
Hose size
The inner diameter of the hose directly affects the smoothness of the medium flow. At the same time, consider the compatibility of the hose with the pipe clamp or steel plate to ensure that the outer diameter size matches.
Hose pressure
Select the appropriate pipeline pressure according to the working pressure of the equipment. The impact load of the hydraulic system requires that the maximum working pressure of the hose is usually higher than the max working pressure of the system. And its bursting pressure is usually 3~4 times the maximum working pressure.
Medium and environment
Select a hydraulic hose that is suitable for the conveying medium and consider the use environment. Such as factors such as light exposure time, friction frequency and external temperature.
In addition, the following issues should be paid attention to during the use of hydraulic hoses:
Temperature
Hydraulic hoses have a shorter service life at high temperatures. Therefore, avoid heat sources as much as possible. If necessary, use a silicone fire sleeve to protect your hose.
Prevent surface friction
During the installation and application process, contact with other pipelines should be avoided to prevent cracking caused by friction. Protective equipment should be used in cases where crossing is necessary or friction may occur. For example, spiral hose guard.
Bending
Avoid sharp bends when bending hydraulic hoses. Make sure the bending radius meets the regulations to prevent damage to the hose.
In general, hydraulic hoses play a vital role in hydraulic systems. Selecting and using appropriate hydraulic hoses is of great significance to ensure the normal operation and service life of the hydraulic system.
