Flexible Fluid Lines are
used to connect parts
to movable Areas of
high Vibration

Types of Flexible Hoses
Depend on their design
Depends on their application
Depends on the different fluids
used.
Depends on the pressure range
Depends on the fitting used.

Flexible Hoses construction
Inner liners covered with layers
of reinforcement to provide
strength
Outer cover to protect for
physical damage.

Material and manufacturing

process determine suitability
of specific hose

INNER LINER
Carries the fluid

MUST HAVE :
Minimum porosity
Chemically compatibility with the
material.

LINER must offer
Least resistance to flow
Remain flexible throughout full
range of operating temperature.

NEOPRENE

Sort of synthetic rubber that is

abrasion resistant
Used with petroleum based
fluid.

9/17/2014

11

Flexible Fluid Lines

BUNA-N
Synthetic rubber compound used to
carry petroleum based products
BUNA-N is better for petroleum
products than Neoprene

Flexible Fluid Lines

BUTYL
Synthetic rubber compound made from
petroleum raw materials .
Will brake down if used with petroleum
products.
Butyl is excellent for inner liners for
fluid lines carrying phosphate ester Base
hydraulic fluids ( such as Skydroll)

TEFLON

= TRADENAME

Has a broad operating

temperature range
( -65degrees f to + 450
degrees f)
Is compatible with nearly every
fluid

TEFLON Lines
WARNING
WHEN ISTALLING TEFLON HOSES ALWAYS
OBSERVE MINIMUM BEND RADIUS
RESTRICTIONS
TEFLON WILL TAKE A SET AFTER IN
SERVICE TIME AND BECOMES SOMEWHAT
RIGID.
DO NOT BEND AGAINST SET AFTER REMOVAL

WARNING
SOME HOSES ARE SHIPPED WITH A PRESET SHAPE.
A WIRE IS HOLDING THE ASSEMBLY IN THE
PRESET SHAPE.
KEEP THE ASSEMBLY IN THAT POSITION UNTIL
IT ASSEMBLED.

REINFORCEMENT LAYER
ALL HOSES HAVE TEDENCY TO INCREASE
IN DIAMETER AND DECREASE IN LENGTH
WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED.
THE DESIGN OF REINFORCEMENT LAYER
IS CRITICAL AS IT CAN INFLUENCE THIS
CHARACTERISTIC.

OUTER COVER
PROTECTIVE COVER MADE OF
IMPREGNATED RUBBER

IT IS PUT OVER THE REINFORCEMENT

Smaller sizes carry up to 3000 psi

Larger sizes are restricted to lower pressure.
If the hose is used with petroleum based fluid,
inner liner is made of sysnthetic rubber and
outer braid is grey black
If Phosphate ester base (skydrol) is used the
inner liner is made of synthetic butyl rubber
