Steel Braided Hydraulic Hose

Specifications for Steel Braided Hydraulic Hose

Technical Specifications and Performance

Our steel braided hydraulic hose is engineered for peak performance across diverse operating conditions. Below are the comprehensive specifications:

• Size Range: Available from 3/16 inch (4.8mm) to 2 inch (51mm) inner diameter.

• Working Pressure: Ranges from 300 psi to 6,000 psi, depending on size and construction.

• Pressure Performance: Designed with a 4:1 safety factor; minimum burst pressure is four times the maximum working pressure.

• Specialty Options: Available in abrasion-resistant, low-temperature (-55°C), high-temperature (+150°C), and super-flexible variants.

• Compliant Standards: Manufactured to SAE 100R1, SAE 100R2, SAE 100R16, EN 853 1SN/2SN, and ISO 1436 standards.

• Pulse Performance: Tested to withstand over 200,000 impulse cycles at 133% of working pressure, ensuring long service life.

• Fluid Compatibility: Excellent resistance to petroleum-based hydraulic oils, water-glycol fluids, and air.

• Flexibility: Minimum bend radius is carefully engineered to allow tight installations without kinking.

• Durability: Outer cover is abrasion-resistant, ozone-resistant, and weather-resistant for extended outdoor use.

• Temperature Range: Continuous operation from -40°F to +212°F (-40°C to +100°C); optional high-temperature versions reach +125°C.

Construction and Materials

Understanding the layered construction is key to appreciating its performance:

• Inner Tube: Made from oil-resistant synthetic rubber (Nitrile/NBR), ensuring smooth fluid flow and compatibility with hydraulic fluids.

• Reinforcement Layer: This is the core feature. It consists of one or two layers of high-tensile steel wire braid. This braiding provides the hose’s strength, preventing expansion under pressure and resisting external impacts.

• Outer Cover: A layer of abrasion and weather-resistant synthetic rubber (often Chloroprene/CR or a specially formulated blend), protecting the reinforcement from damage and environmental factors.

• End Connections: Compatible with various fittings, including crimped fittings for permanent hose assembly and reusable fittings for field repairs. We also supply adapters, flanges, and protective sleeves or guards for complete system protection.

Compliance and Certifications

Our high pressure hose products adhere to the highest international benchmarks:

• SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers): SAE 100R1, SAE 100R2, SAE 100R16

• ISO (International Organization for Standardization): ISO 1436, ISO 3862

• DIN (German Institute for Standardization): DIN EN 853

• Certifications: ISO 9001 quality management system certification.

Key Advantages

• Superior Strength: The wire braided hose construction withstands high surge pressures.

• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of media and temperatures.

• Safety: High burst pressure and rigorous testing ensure operator safety.

• Longevity: Excellent resistance to abrasion, ozone, and weather extends replacement cycles.

Applications and Market Reach
