Whether you need a more rigid hose for fixed systems or a flexible option for tight spaces and maneuverability, we offer reinforcements like braided fibers to enhance strength while maintaining flexibility and ease of use.

What is the standard hydraulic hose size?

While there isn’t one single “standard” hydraulic hose size that applies to every application, hydraulic hose sizes are primarily determined by their inside diameter (ID), which is crucial for fluid flow and pressure. 

These IDs are commonly expressed in increments of 1/16th of an inch, using what’s known as “dash sizes” (e.g., a -6 hose has a 6/16″ or 3/8″ ID).

Common sizes range from 1/4 inch up to 2 inches, with 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch being particularly prevalent in many industrial and mobile hydraulic systems.

The specific size chosen depends heavily on factors like the system’s flow rate, required pressure, and the physical space available for routing the hose.

how to measure hydraulic hose sizes?

Measuring hydraulic hose sizes accurately is essential for ensuring compatibility with fittings and system components. Properly sized hoses prevent leaks, improve system efficiency, and extend the hose’s lifespan

Here’s a step-by-step guide to measuring hydraulic hose sizes:

  • Measure Inner Diameter (ID): The inner diameter is the key measurement for fluid flow, to measure the inner diameter, use a caliper or ruler to measure the distance across the inside of the hose, ensuring the correct flow rate for your system and preventing inefficiency or damage due to restricted fluid movement.
  • Measure Outer Diameter (OD): The outer diameter ensures compatibility with the fittings, measured across the outside surface of the hose, including any reinforcement layers, to determine if the hose will fit into your hydraulic system’s fittings, preventing leaks or difficulties during installation and ensuring a secure, leak-free connection.
  • Determine Hose Length: Hose length is important for installation and fluid flow, measure the hose’s total length from one end to the other, excluding fittings, ensuring it’s long enough to reach between system components without slack that could lead to damage, kinks, or reduced fluid efficiency during operation.
  • Check Hose Pressure Rating: The pressure rating ensures the hose withstands system pressure, identify the working pressure rating of the hose to ensure it can handle the maximum pressure of your system, preventing hose failure under high-pressure conditions and guaranteeing that the hose can safely operate within your system’s pressure range.
  • Verify Fitting Compatibility: Ensure hose fittings match your system components, measure the fittings’ sizes such as thread type, diameter, and shape to ensure compatibility with the hose and hydraulic system components, preventing leaks, ensuring a secure connection, and maintaining optimal hydraulic system performance.

What is the difference between SAE 100R16 and 100R17?

SAE 100R16 and SAE 100R17 are both compact hydraulic hoses designed for applications requiring smaller bend radii and lighter weight than traditional SAE 100R1 (single wire braid) or 100R2 (two wire braid) hoses. However, their primary differences lie in their pressure ratings and reinforcement:

SAE 100R16:

  • Typically features one or two wire braids for reinforcement.
  • Has varying working pressure ratings depending on the hose size, generally offering higher pressures for smaller diameters and decreasing for larger ones.
  • Designed for high-pressure applications where a compact design and good flexibility are critical.

SAE 100R17:

  • Often features one wire braid for smaller sizes and two wire braids for larger sizes.
  • Maintains a constant working pressure of 3000 psi across all sizes up to 1-inch ID, simplifying system design.
  • Also designed for high-pressure applications with a focus on compactness and flexibility, similar to R16 but with a consistent pressure rating.

What is the most common hydraulic hose?

The most common type of hydraulic hose is generally considered to be rubber hydraulic hoses with braided wire reinforcement, particularly those meeting SAE 100R1 and SAE 100R2 standards

These hydraulic hoses offer a versatile balance of flexibility, durability, pressure resistance, and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for a vast array of medium to high-pressure applications across various industries.

Key reasons for their commonality include:

  • Versatility: They are compatible with a wide range of hydraulic fluids.

  • Pressure Range: Available in configurations for moderate to high pressures, with SAE 100R1 (single wire braid) for medium pressure and SAE 100R2 (double wire braid) for higher pressures.

  • Flexibility: The rubber inner tube and braided reinforcement provide good flexibility for routing in diverse machinery.

  • Durability: The rubber outer cover offers resistance to abrasion, oil, and weather conditions.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Generally more affordable than specialized hose types like thermoplastic or PTFE hoses.
