Are You Keeping the Application in Mind When Selecting Your Hydraulic Hose?

Whether you need a hose solution for agriculture, mining, construction, or transportation, the first thing to do is to fully analyze the application and equipment involved before specifying a hose. According to a recent blog posted by the Parker Fluid Handling Team, some factors to keep in mind based on the application are:


·         Bend Radius
·         Abrasion
·         Environmental Conditions
·         Temperature
·         Chemical Compatibility
·         Surrounding Environment
·         Regulatory Standards

Every manufacturer offers hoses based on specific applications such as for suction and return, phosphate ester, low temperature, transportation, marine, refrigerant, and oil and gas. However, when it comes to hydraulic hose in general, certain aspects of a hose could be preferred due to the application requirements.” – Kyri McDonough, Parker Hose Products Division
