It is especially used in hydraulic systems to connect moving circuit elements. Since the hoses have high flexibility, it is suitable to be used in cases where the system pressure changes frequently, vibrating, and the temperature difference is high. Hoses are made of synthetic rubber. There are one or more steel wire braids between the rubber layers in order to increase their compressive strength.
Important Considerations in Hydraulic Hose Connection
Different pipe diameters should not be used in hydraulic systems, sudden narrowing or increased section should be avoided. Sharp corners should be avoided while turning on the lines used in hydraulic systems. Excessively long and unnecessary pipes and hose lines should be avoided. In order to prevent vibration and cavitation in the system, the pipes should be fixed with clamps at regular intervals. The suction pipe should be short. The return pipe should be short. Hoses should be used in moving and vibrating places. Thermal expansions should be taken into account in pipe connections. Pipe diameters should be sufficient to provide the desired flow and pressure. Pipe wall thickness and hose type should be selected to meet the operating pressure and temperature values. Pipe and hose connections must be tight. Pipe inner surfaces must be smooth. The innermost layer of the hose must be resistant to the fluid used in the system.
