Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What points should be considered for installing a hose properly?

A.

• Changes in length.
• Proper bend radius.
• Protection from high temperature sources.
• Installing elbows and adapters to relieve strain.
• Rubbing or abrasion.
• Twisting.
• Improper hose movement.

Q. What are the inspection & maintenance requirements for a hose?

A.

• The hose should be stored in a cool and dry place.
• It should be visually inspected.
• If there is a gouge or cut in the cover exposing the reinforcement, the hose should not be used.
• It should be inspected for broken or kinking reinforcement.
• A hose with 20% reduced outside diameter at the spot where it is bent, should not be used.

Q. How to install a hose fitting into a hydraulic hose?

A.

• Select the correct size, style and length of the hose.
• Fabricate it according to the application.
• Check for minimum bend radius as installation at a lower value may significantly impact hose life.
• Install in a manner such that the relative motion of the machine components produces bending of the hose rather than its twisting.
• Protect the hose from pressure surges, flexing and contact with other mechanical components.
• Connect the ports properly while ensuring that no torque or twist is put into the hose.
• Correct external damages, if any.
• Check the complete system for proper functioning and leak-free operation.
