Industrial Hose

Frequently asked questions — Industrial Hoses

• How do I choose the right industrial hose for my operating conditions?

  The selection of a hose must be based on a rigorous analysis of working pressure, chemical compatibility with the conveyed fluid and the thermal constraints of your industrial environment. It is essential to examine bend radii as well as the nature of external coverings to prevent any premature wear. To meet the most demanding configurations, we recommend relying on references from the Gates Hydraulique and Parker brands, while ensuring the overall consistency of your hydraulic circuit.
• What is the difference between an industrial hose and the other components of a hydraulic circuit?

  The industrial hose performs the function of the dynamic link within the hydraulic system, unlike other elements which provide regulating, connecting or mounting functions. This range is complemented by hydraulic connectors and adapters for connections, as well as hydraulic accessories essential to the operation of the circuits. For maintenance, the use of crimp fittings and dedicated crimping equipment guarantees assemblies that comply with the technical specifications of your installations, distinct from the direct transfer function provided by the hose.
• Are ISO standards necessary for the assembly of hydraulic components?

  Yes, compliance with ISO standards is essential to ensure the reliability and interchangeability of your devices. For the design or upkeep of schematics, the use of standardised graphic symbols compliant with the ISO 1219 standard helps ensure reliable reading and integration of the elements. Furthermore, for the mounting interfaces of hydraulic directional valves, compliance with the ISO 4401 standard is required to ensure the interchangeability of components within your installation.
• How can I ensure the compliance of assemblies carried out on my machines?

  To guarantee compliant assemblies, it is necessary to rely on specific hydraulic components, such as crimp fittings and dedicated crimping equipment. The integration of these elements, whether direct transfer solutions, washing accessories or regulating devices, must imperatively comply with the assembly instructions specific to each connection. This rigour in the choice of components and in the execution of assemblies is fundamental to the safety of interventions on industrial machinery.
