1 Inch Hydraulic Hose Size And Temperature And Application And Media And Pressure
Hydraulic hoses are used for transferring fluids in high-pressure petroleum- and water-based hydraulic systems commonly found on industrial, mining, and manufacturing equipment.
The hoses are reinforced to maximize their strength.
Bulk hydraulic hoses can be cut to a desired length, and compatible hose fittings can be attached to the ends of the hoses to create custom hydraulic hose assemblies.
Hydraulic hoses are used for high pressure fluid power applications on mobile and fixed machinery.
Sinopulse carries a large inventory of high quality hydraulic hoses. Our customers include the largest onshore and offshore oil & gas drilling contractors, mining/construction operators, waste/recycling fleets, power generation companies, as well as thousands of repair and maintenance professionals.
Understanding Orientation:
When you are assembling a hydraulic hose, you have a choice of end fittings that could be straight, 45°, 90° and other combinations. When you choose two angled fittings, such as a 90° and a 45° fitting, we need to know how they should be installed so you can put the hose back on your equipment. Use this chart below to provide us the accurate orientation. Please call our office before ordering if you are unsure of your hose orientation options!
Selecting the Proper 1 Inch Hydraulic Hose Size
To ensure the best selection for your hose options, industry professionals adhere to the S.T.A.M.P.E.D. system, which stands for size, temperature, media, pressure, ends, and delivery. 1 Inch Hydraulic Hose Size
The inner diameter of the hose must be correctly sized to ensure proper fluid flow within the system. Too much flowrate by the hose being too small of ID can cause inconsistency, internal damage, and fluid leaks, while too large of hose can compromise the system’s response output.
Temperature
When selecting a hose for your system, it is critical to determine the operating temperature range of your equipment. Some materials contract, expand, or fail when exposed to high or low temperatures and thermal fluctuation. To avoid these complications, select a hose material that will operated within the expected equipment temperature ranges to be encountered.
1 Inch Hydraulic Hose Application
Different applications require different hoses. Many hoses are custom-built assemblies made to meet specifications for a prescribed application need. Consider the system configuration, fluid type, and product routing, and hose orientation to determine the best hose for the job. Normally, if the hose is to be used as a replacement of an existing hose, replacing with the same type/rating of hose is a good choice for similar durability and performance expectations. Consult the product catalog for basic information and seek application assistance from Jason if there are any questions.
Media
A wide variety of materials can be conveyed using hoses, so you must consider the potential for physical or chemical reactivity between the fluid medium and the hose material. If an unsuitable material is used in the hose or its fixtures, it can damage the system or lead to failure of the hose and potentially create hazardous conditions due to the failure. Compressed gases require specially designed and manufactured hose constructions. Some materials can damage the hose reinforcement and even the end fittings and seals all which may lead to sudden and catastrophic failure. Understand the application and check to verify compatibility if there are any questions or concerns.
1 Inch Hydraulic Hose Pressure
Your hydraulic hose will need to withstand the working pressure of the application, as well as any additional pressure that could be caused by fluctuations within the system. Careful consideration of the specific application must be made to assure the hose is properly selected for best durability and safety.
Ends
When selecting your ends or couplings, consider the size, material, and application. Fittings come in a dizzying variety of styles, orientations, and attachment methods to meet the particular needs of every system. Each connector type has many attributes as well as limitations on ratings and resistance to leakage and pressure. Consult Jason for more information.
Delivery
Timely and reliable delivery is an often-overlooked necessity when selecting the proper hose. Whether you need special packaging, unique shipping, certification, testing, or tagging, Jason Industrial will help you get the product you need, when you need it. Guide 1 Inch Hydraulic Hose sizing
The dash size:
People new to the hydraulic industry often ask what hose dash size means. Simply put, a dash size refers to an I.D. of a hydraulic hose or fitting in 1/16" increments. For example, -6 hose would indicate a hose with I.D. of 6/16" - or 3/8".
Hoses are measured by inside diameter, unlike tubes which are measured by outside diameter. As a matter of fact, that is how the hoses and tubes are differentiated.
How to determined dash size for your specific hydraulic application
By using a standard nomogram, we can find the relationship between three variable quantities using simple geometric construction.
In this instance, our variables are Dash Size (Hose I.D.), Desired Flow Rate, and Recommended Flow Velocity. If any two of these factors are known, you can easily determine the third factor.
The nomograph shown below:
Pick the two known values.
Lay a straightedge to intersect the two values.
Intersection on the third vertical line gives the value of that factor.
For example, if we know the Desired Flow Rate is 16 gallons per minute and our Recommended Flow Velocity is 20 feet per second, we can mark these numbers in the corresponding left- and right-hand columns.
When we lay a straightedge between the columns and draw a line to connect the values, we see where the line crosses the center column graph; where it intersects determines the Hose I.D. / Dash Size.
In this case, we would require a 0.625" (5/8") inch (or larger) hose. The nomogram is an easy and effective tool for helping size your hydraulic hoses.
