Hydraulic systems
Hydraulic systems are under a lot of pressure, and a hose that is too short or isn’t routed properly can cause serious damage. Therefore, it is important to make sure the hoses and fittings are all in good working condition before you start using them.
hose
A hydraulic hose is used in a variety of industries and applications to convey fluid power or energy between two points. It is comprised of three main components: the inner tube, the reinforcing layer, and the cover.
inner tube
The inner tube of hydraulic hoses is made of a rubber or synthetic material. The proper choice of material depends on the hydraulic fluid being transported and the environment in which it will operate.
Hydraulic
Hydraulic hoses are available in several different materials, including nitrile (NBR), chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and thermoplastics, and fluorocarbons such as PTFE.
flexible
Hydraulic hoses are designed to be robust and flexible. They have a high pressure capacity and are constructed with a reinforced inner tube. This reinforcement can be braided or spiral-wound metal wire or textile yarn.

Choosing the right hydraulic hose and fittings is critical to the overall functioning of your equipment. Selecting the right product and assembly can help to prevent physical or operational hazards, environmental damage, and costly downtime.
Chlorinated
Fittings connect hoses to pumps, valves and cylinders. The wrong choice of fitting can cause leaks, damage and even safety issues.
Depending on the application and equipment, hoses can be constructed from various layers of material to address different fluid types, temperature, pressure or abrasion. Most hoses have an inner liner that is either rubber or Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) synthetic rubber, then a layer of mesh braid, typically stainless steel or nylon.
fittings
Hydraulic hoses and fittings work together to create a hydraulic system that can transport fluid safely. They are used in all kinds of machinery across many different industries, from agriculture to construction and industrial manufacturing.
Using these factors to help you choose the right hoses and fittings will increase your chances of achieving maximum performance from your hydraulic equipment.
Agricultural
Agricultural hydraulic hoses and fittings must be robust, flexible and versatile. They need to be able to handle high pressure, extreme temperatures and abrasion.
Hoses and fittings are made from a variety of materials, such as steel, stainless steel and brass. They are also available in a wide range of thread standards, sizes and sealing options. There are several types of seals that can be found on hydraulic hose fittings, including metal seal, soft seal and tapered thread. Each has its benefits and must be carefully chosen for use in your hydraulic system.
