When determining the size of the hose, the inside diameter is the most important measurement. It must be sized to transfer the correct volume of fluid for the job it must perform. Smaller diameters usually mean greater pressures can be withstood.
Have you found that it’s more difficult to find parts to rebuild some older cars than others? If you need a hose that you just can’t find anywhere else, we’re always here to help you.
Hydraulic machinery gets very hot under the stress of normal operations and heavy loads. For that reason, take precautions to protect hydraulic hoses and couplings from heat, fire, sparks, or molten spray.
Many industrial companies who use hydraulic systems are looking to go "green" and thus use "green" or biodegradable oils. However, keep in mind that most hydraulic hoses are compatible with petroleum-based oils only, so do your research first to find a compatible hose material.
Did you know that massive machinery usually utilizes hydraulics to function? Out-of-order machines are usually not working due to issues with the hoses. Any faulty hoses should be immediately replaced.
Tip: The air hose between a compressor and its working unit should be as short and as wide as possible. This allows for the greatest amount of airflow without losing pressure over the length of the hose.
One of the best things you can do to extend the life of your hydraulic hose is to use the proper hydraulic oil. This means that the oil you use is fully supportive (has the right viscosity) of the high temperatures that it will have to endure.
If your hydraulic hose springs a leak or has problems, then you can be temped to just apply a simple patch. But this doesn't actually fix the hole, and the hose could break at a key moment. A custom hose expert can give you a replacement hose you can count on.
Are you a local inventor who’s always in need of parts for your next invention? Whether you need one hose or 100 hoses, we have the expertise and capacity to keep your inventions in stock.
Because the inlet line of vacuum pumps is under tremendous pressure because of the vacuum that is created, hoses rated for vacuum performance have been reinforced with a steel coil in the lining.
When the hose and hose assembly are compatible with both the application environment and with the fluids being conveyed, the likelihood of leaks is minimized and service life and safety are extended and improved.
Did you know that specific types of hoses in automobiles are crafted for specific applications? For example, hoses and seals for brake fluids and systems will corrode if they are exposed to petroleum products – to be safe, always double check before replacing fluids and hoses.
Custom hoses come in a lot of different styles and sizes. You may not know precisely what it is you need, but a custom hose shop can help you get just the piece that you need. And they can ensure that the job is done quickly and at a reasonable price.
Polybutadiene was one of the first types of synthetic rubber, or elastomer, to be invented. It's a lot like natural rubber, also called "polyisoprene." Car parts like belts, hoses, and gaskets are made from polybutadiene, as it can stand up to cold temperatures better than other elastomers.
The inner lining of the hose needs to be compatible with the material(s) traveling through the channel. Nitrile rubber is the preferred material for moving fluids that are eco-friendly because of its resistance to deterioration.
Don’t you just love the feeling of an air-conditioned room? Of course you do! No one likes it when it’s uncomfortable and stuffy in a room. If the AC is not working, then you probably have an issue with the AC hose. Get a replacement hose, and fix the problem.
Our quick disconnect fittings are custom installed on air hoses to offer optimum performance for years to come. Plus, with our custom length services – we can craft short to long air hoses made with approved materials for any purpose.
Hoses perform better in hydraulic systems than pipes do because they are better able to absorb vibration and resist shock, are more easily configured, are adaptable to different systems, and they will not rust or corrode.
Do you ever worry that designing custom machinery for your company will cripple your business when a hose breaks? When you need high-quality hoses for your machinery that fit your specifications, we can make that a reality.
When it comes to customized hydraulic hoses, one thing to pay careful attention to is pressure capabilities. The chosen hydraulic hose must be able to withstand a greater amount of pressure than the system actually generates.
Did you know that constant abrasion can lead to a shorter life span of your automotive hoses, as it will eventually wear away the cover and damage the reinforcement? We will ensure your hoses fit exactly right within the assembly.
When planning or evaluating the route for a hose, it should be such so that the hose does not kink, or become compressed or stretched; otherwise, performance, service life, and safety are all compromised.
Hydraulic hose construction consists of three different component parts. There is the synthetic rubber inner tube that carries the fluid or liquid, the reinforcement layer that is reinforced with wire, and the outer protective layer, which is abrasion resistant.
The temperature of the media passing through the hose affects its performance and service life. Some materials, such as rubber, become less flexible and reliable when the materials being conveyed fall outside the ratings.
