Hydraulic hoses are critical components in many industrial applications, especially in oil and gas, drilling, mining, and construction sectors. At Saab Energy Solutions, we understand how vital these hoses are to your operations. A failure can cause costly downtime, safety hazards, and damage to equipment.
The most common causes of hydraulic hose failure and how you can prevent them:
1. Abrasion and External Damage
Hydraulic hoses often rub against surfaces or other components, causing wear and tear. Using protective sleeves and proper routing can reduce abrasion.
2. Incorrect Installation
Bending a hose beyond its minimum bend radius or twisting it during installation weakens the hose structure. Ensure hoses are installed following manufacturer guidelines to avoid stress.
3. Contamination
Dirt, debris, and moisture entering the system can degrade hose materials internally. Regular maintenance and using high-quality filters help keep contaminants out.
4. Pressure Surges
Unexpected spikes in pressure can exceed hose limits, causing bursts or leaks. Installing pressure relief valves and monitoring system pressure prevents damage.
5. Extreme Temperatures
Operating hoses outside their temperature range can cause material breakdown. Choose hoses rated for your specific environment, whether extreme heat or cold.
