Hose for industrial applications

Frequently asked questions — Industrial Application Hoses

• How do I choose the right hydraulic hose for my installation?

  Selecting a hose for industrial applications requires technical consistency with the other elements of the hydraulic chain, including accessories, components and connectors. It is essential to take into account the constraints linked to the nature of the fluid being transported, the working pressure and environmental conditions. This rigour in selection ensures the tightness and performance of the connections within the system. The products available incorporate the technical specifications specific to the Gates Hydraulique and Kutting France ranges to meet operational needs.
• What is the importance of the ISO 1219 standard in my hydraulic diagrams?

  The ISO 1219 standard defines the graphic symbols used for the documentation and representation of hydraulic diagrams. Its application facilitates the understanding of installations and ensures clear technical communication between those involved in design or maintenance. This standardisation helps to structure circuits by correctly integrating hoses, hydraulic accessories and the various components required for the proper operation of the transmission chain. It is an essential reference for the technical documentation of your system.
• How do I ensure compatibility between my hydraulic components and my hoses?

  Functional compatibility between components, particularly hydraulic directional control valves, is governed by the ISO 4401 standard, which defines the mounting interfaces. Ensuring this conformity allows for an optimum connection within the entire system. When choosing a hose for industrial applications, it is necessary to validate its integration with the other elements such as adapters or crimp fittings. A rigorous selection, in line with the characteristics of the Gates Hydraulique and Kutting France products, is paramount to maintaining the integrity of the installation.
• When should you use a hose for industrial applications rather than another connector?

  The hose for industrial applications is specifically designed to integrate within a complex hydraulic chain to complement hydraulic accessories, components and connectors. Its use is recommended when a flexible connection is required to transport a pressurised fluid under defined environmental conditions. Unlike rigid elements, the hose is part of the production of bespoke flexible hoses, often requiring the use of crimp fittings or dedicated crimping equipment. It ensures the performance of the connections when the circuit configuration demands specific adaptability to the industrial environment.
