3:16 cpvc hydraulic hose

3/16" CPVC hydraulic hose

We currently do not offer 3/16″ CPVC hydraulic hose. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is typically used for plumbing and certain industrial applications where corrosion resistance and temperature handling are key, but it is not generally used for high-pressure hydraulic hose applications. Hydraulic hoses require materials with significantly higher pressure ratings and flexibility, usually involving synthetic rubber or thermoplastic cores reinforced with steel wire or high-tensile aramid fibers.

Custom Lengths and Assemblies

We provide custom 3/16 hydraulic hose in precise lengths, cut to your exact specifications. This eliminates waste and ensures a perfect fit for your unique machinery or application. Beyond just length, we can also pre-assemble hoses with specific fittings, saving you valuable time and labor during installation. This level of customization ensures optimal performance and reduces potential points of failure.

Fitting and End Connection Selection

We understand that the right fittings and end connections are crucial for a leak-free and efficient hydraulic system. That’s why we offer a vast selection of compatible fittings for our 3/16 hydraulic hose, including NPT, JIC, ORB, and metric options. We work with you to ensure the perfect match for your equipment, guaranteeing secure and reliable connections.

Material and Pressure Specifications

We offer a range of material options for your 3/16 hydraulic hose to suit various fluid types and environmental conditions. More importantly, we can customize the pressure rating to match your system’s demands, ensuring both safety and longevity. Whether you need a hose for low-pressure return lines or high-pressure power transmission, we have the expertise to provide the right solution.

Branding and Labeling

For wholesale orders, we offer customization options for branding and labeling on your 3/16 hydraulic hoses. This includes printing your company logo, part numbers, or specific safety warnings directly onto the hose. This not only enhances your brand identity but also improves traceability and maintenance efficiency for your customers, adding significant value to your product offering.

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.

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.
