The factors include the type of oil or fuel, operating pressure, temperature range, hose material, and any regulations or standards particular to the location or application.
Always use STAMPED (Size, Temperature, Application, Media, pressure, Ends, Delivery) to evaluate and select the right hose and fittings to perform your job safely! Some key factors to consider when determining the correct size include flow rate, maximum working pressure, the length of the hose, and the diameter of the fitting.
All our experts are trained and experienced in the STAMPED requirements and other industry standards and guidelines such as SAE, in order to design, engineer, manufacture, and test our hydraulic hoses, and provide you with the most accurate and reliable information to solve your tough challenges.
Some of the common reasons for hose failure are excessive pressure, high temperature, physical damage, incorrect installation, and incompatible fluids.
Store hoses in a cool, dry, and shaded area, away from sunlight and heat sources. It is recommended to store hoses in loops or coils vertically or horizontally.
Hoses should be inspected regularly for signs of wear and tear. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on inspection and testing intervals and replace hoses that have reached the end of their useful life.
