Bore is the specification that quietly costs money on a hydraulic hose, because it is chosen for fluid velocity rather than to match whatever fitting is on the port. Undersized hose raises velocity, velocity makes pressure drop, and pressure drop becomes heat in the oil — so a machine fitted with hose one size small runs hotter, works its cooler harder and ages the fluid and the seals, none of which looks like a hose problem. Size the bore against the flow, then confirm the pressure rating against the system relief setting rather than the working pressure, since it is the surge that bursts hose. Two build points follow. The assembly is only as good as the crimp, and hose, fitting and die must come from one matched system — a fitting from one maker on hose from another holds on the bench and lets go under cycling. And it should never be installed taut, because a hose changes length slightly under pressure and needs slack to do it in.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
| Hose standard and type | Such as SAE 100R1, 100R2, or an EN 853 or EN 856 type |
|---|---|
| Bore size | Chosen for fluid velocity, not just for the fitting size |
| Working pressure | System pressure, and whether it cycles or has surge |
| Overall assembly length | Fitting face to fitting face, with the route allowance |
| End fittings | Thread form and size at each end, straight or elbowed |
| Fitting orientation | The angle between the two ends on an elbowed assembly |
| Matched system | Hose, fitting and crimp die must come from one system |
| Fluid and temperature | Mineral oil, water glycol, or a fluid needing a special liner |
| Bend radius | The tightest bend on the route |
| Abrasion protection | Spiral wrap or sleeve where the hose can rub |
| Application | Machine, mobile plant, or a hose station with many assemblies |
| Traceability | State if assembly records or test certificates are required |
