How to Select a Hydraulic Hose – Practical Checklist
Checklist 1. Working pressure Check: nominal pressure pressure peaks Rule: → always include safety margin (1.5–2x) 2. Temperature Consider: fluid temperature ambient temperature 3. Medium compatibility Check: oil water chemicals Wrong choice = failure 4. Bending radius Too tight: flow restriction stress premature failure 5. External conditions Check: abrasion impact environment 6. Movement and vibration Dynamic systems require:
