Six-spiral hose has 350 bar working pressure

Hydraulic systems & components

First Quarter 2008 Hydraulic systems & components

Genflex Hydraulics has introduced a six-spiral, pressure tested hydraulic hose to its range of product offerings. The six-spiral SAE100R13 2-inch hydraulic hose has a working pressure of 350 bar (±5000 psi) and its burst pressure is rated at 1400 bar (±20 000 psi).

This pressure tested hose is used mainly on raise boring machines, huge earthmoving machinery and specialised safety equipment in the mining, construction and industrial sectors.

According to David Michelle, Genflex director, any large bore hose which is required in a critical application on equipment such as mine winding and lifting equipment should, for safety’s sake, be pressure tested and certified to eliminate any chance of failure. To this end Genflex offers the SAE100R13 pressure tested guarantee. In order to fulfil the terms of the warranty customers should allow time for the pressure certification process to be completed satisfactorily.

The high pressure rated hose is currently available only from Genflex head office in Alrode South and not from its branches.

The company also offers a range of adaptors and hydraulic fittings, and whilst some competitors are offering newly designed fittings which have a shorter tail length and collar Genflex only uses traditional hydraulic fittings, which they believe have a more reliable staying power than the shorter fittings.

How to protect against water hammer
SA Gauge Editor's Choice Hydraulic systems & components
Water hammer is a high-pressure surge or wave created by the kinetic energy of moving fluid when it is rapidly forced to stop or change direction, altering the liquid’s velocity. The progression of the water hammer shockwave needs to be detained and slowed before reaching the instrument sensor. SA Gauge manufactures several such devices in order to achieve this.
