Hydraulic Hoses Selection of hydraulic hoses Working pressure: When selecting a hose it should be considered that it’s working pressure should be higher than the maximum operating pressure of the system. For determination of the maximum operating pressure the system engineer should always consider possible pressure peaks during start up and inversion. Pressure peaks may be so short that they are only measurable with electronic devices. In suction applications, the capacity of the hose to withstand negative pressure is a decisive factor. Working pressures are given for working temperature of + 20ºC (+ 68ºF). For increased temperatures a de-rating factor should be considered.

Electrical conductivity: Electrical conductivity, to avoid static electricity build up, or non-conductivity, to avoid electrical discharge through the assembly, may be decisive requirement to avoid explosion or electrical shocks. Whenever the hose is not unequivocally branded either non-conductive or anti-static, its electrical characteristics should always be considered as not controlled.

Remarks on Use of Hoses Chemical Hose and Resistance to Chemicals Besides the before mentioned standards some common ruler are: * Clean hoses after use * select the correct method of cleaning according to hose type * select the correct hose according to application, c­ hemical conveyed, pressure and temperature * use appropriate procedures for fitting hose couplings * issue maintenance schedules and controle hoses for visible damages or changes in structure

Cleaning of Hoses Most common cleaning procedures are flushing with hot or cold water, use of diluted acids and bases, commercial detergents and steam.

Always make sure that the correct method of cleaning is selected according to hose type. When steam cleaning hoses with saturated steam in open systems following time/temperature ratings are recommended and should not be exceeded: NR CIIR EPDM UHPE-X CPE

100°C 140°C 150°C 130°C 130°C

20 min 30 min 20 min 30 min 30 min

SBR NBR PE-X FEP

110°C 130°C 110°C 150°C

20 min 20 min 20 min 20 min

For Food hoses we recommend to clean them with a 0,4% natriumchloride and 0,5% natriumhydroxide solution at 40°C for 24- 48 h before first use. Goodyear products included in this catalogue are all approved for S.I.P., C.I.P. and C.O.P cleaning systems.

Special care must be taken when steamcleaning hose with plastic liners as PE-X, FEP, UHPE-X or Polyamide. Avoid direct contact with hose liner and steam lance in order to avoid melt through.

Lengths change and Endloads of Hoses Change in lenghts of hoses under pressure or vacuum are specified in most standards for hoses. Care should be taken that these figures are reflected in the calculation of assembly lenghts in order to avoid undue stresses or damages. Hoses also must be fitted free of torsion.

As a general rule each 10°C increase of temperature above ambient will reduce burstpressures by ca 20%.

Care must be taken when applying pressure ratings to PVC spiral hose.

The burstpressures quoted in this catalogue are indictaive only. PVC spiral hose should only be used in short lenghts, ambient temperature applications for pressure.

Vacuum and Temperature All Vacuum ratings mentioned in this catalogue are valid at ambient temperature of 23°C only.

Higher Temperatures, abrasive materials or chemical aggressive media can strongly influence these values. We recommend to contact us in these cases. When selecting a hose particulary for high vacuum applications a physical phenomen should be considered.

If a water column rises at high speed through a hose and a valve or the pump is suddenly shut off, the rising water column creates a very high vacuum at the end of the r­ ising column. This short term vacuum can surpass actual pump and system ratings. Irreversible damage to the hose can be the result.

Bend Radius All Bend radius mentioned in this catalogue are valid at ambient temperature of 23°C only.

Make sure that hoses are fitted in radus equal or bigger then specified in order to avoid permanent damage to hose structure.

At higher temperatures or if used with high abrasives bend radius should be increased with minimum 30%. When fitting in Ushape or equalizing height levels make sure that sufficent hose lengths is used or appropriate couplings including bends are selected.

Under certain conditions like strong mechanical and/or chemical attack or very short lengths the use of fixed p­ iping or compensators is recommened.

Abrasion Resistance

Every hose is capable to accept a certain amount of loads, like pressureload, weight of hose, medium and c­ ouplings and extra mechanical stresses. For safety reason the maximum endload of a hose should not exceed the pressureload at working pressure including correction factors ofor temperatures.

Abrasion resistance of rubbers and plastics can be d­ etermined theoretically with a degree of accuracy. However practical implications are a different thing.

ENDLOAD is the sum of all pressureloads, weights and mechanical forces acting on a hose.

The DIN 53516 test is a rather simple grinding test where abrasion is determined as a function of volume loss in mm3. These tests however do not take a number of p­ ractical implications into consideration.

Pressure and Temperature All pressureratings mentioned in this catalogue are subject to ambient temperatures at 23°C. Higher or lower temperatures can reduce the pressure carrying capacities of hoses considerably by changing physical properties of the compound or the reinforcements. For example on oil hoses based on NBR rubber the burstpressure can reduce at 90°C up to 40%.

This means an oil hose rated at 16 Bar WP at 23°C can safely be used with working pressures of 10 Bar at 93°C. Following safety should be applied at 23 °C (WP : BP) Water up to 10 Bar 1:3 Fluids above 10 Bar 1:4 Air or inert gases 1:4 Fluids which can change into the gaseous phase under change of pressure 1:5 Steam 1:10 Hot water 70 - 90°C 1:4 For thermoplastic hoses, especially PVC hoses pressure/temperature charts are available. PVC hoses mentioned in this catalogue can generally be used for temperatures up to 60 °C.

In order to enable users to compare abrasion resistance of various hoses, DIN 53516 or ASTM tests are employed.

Noteworthy are points like hose construction, assembly of hose lines or flow characteristics which are not covered by a.m. standards.

In praxis a number of cases are known where a hose with higher abrasion value is outlasting a hose with a low abrasion factor.

Abrasion is basically the impact of a particle onto the hose liner.

This particle can range in size from an atom to a sizable stone. Upon contact with the hoseliner part of the kinetic energy is absorbed and the particle rebounces.

The created pressure of impact is lower on rubber than on steel under certain conditions, thus giving rubber a better abrasion resistance.

For example at temperatures up to 70°C and impact angles between 25-70° classical BR or NR rubbers outclass steel products.

This is in essence also true for plastics. Depending on temperature and impact angle some plastics reach or o­ utclass the abrasion resistance of rubbers.

In practice two types of abrasion can be considered: – abrasive, caused by impact pressure, angle and geometry of the particle – heat abrasion caused by friction heat built up mainly with pneumatic transport.

Remarks on Use of Hoses Abrasion Resistance

Metallic conductors

The hoses mentioned in this catalogue are suitable for most standard applications. However please make sure that when installing hoses, sufficient bent radius are applied.

Normally three types of metallic conductors are used in hoses:

For special applications involving high flow speeds or large bore hose we require the following information: – Flow speed in m/sec – pneumatic or hydraulic transport – Hardness, type and shape of material conveyed – dimension and specific gravity of material conveyed – Drawings or templates if available In order to select a hose from our range following thumb rule may be used to select tube material: – hydraulic transport NR beige or black 40-50 Shore A – pneumatic transport NR/BR blend black, 60-70 Shore A electrically conductive The most common plastics used in abrasive applications are Polyuethane or UHPE-X. Polyurethane is available in a number of grades and shore hardness and can thus replace rubber in a number of applications for temperatures ranging from 20°C to 50°C. UHPE-X is suitable for hydraulic transport of abrasives or pneumatic transport at low flow speeds and impact pressures.

Cover abrasion resistance of bulk material hoses is ­generally considerable lower if compared to tube c­ ompounds. Suitable means of protection in service can prolongue hose life considerably, as many hoses have to be withdrawn from service more owing to cover abrasion than tube abrasion

Electrical Conductivity Any conductor moving through a magnetic field induces a voltage into the conductor. Dustparticles, liquids, a­ brasives or even gases which are conveyed at high speeds through a hose will be induced by this voltage. This voltage in turn will be transfered into a hose. If this hose is cannot discharge this voltage to earth, voltage will be further induced up to a point where the natural ­resistance of the hose breaks down. In this case spontaneous discharge of this voltage will take place, causing considerable risks to machinery or operators. Depending on the nature of discharge this can lead to serious injuries or expolsion of any combustible atmosphere. In practise two methods are being used to discharge static electricity from a hose: – electrically conductive compounds – metallic conductors In effect every rubber is to a certain effect conductive. However without including certain additives like carbon black, the specific resistance is too high to be of any practical value.

By blending conductive carbon blacks into the compound, the specific resistance will be reduced. In theory a high conductive hose could be manufactured, but limits are attached to this.

Every electron movement generates heat. Combine this heat built up with the heat created by the friction of the medium a point is reached where the hose itself gets damaged or its molecular structure is changing. This can lead even to a further decrease of resistivity and subsequent sudden combustion.

In practise black conductive compounds are seperated into two categories: – ANTISTATIC R 106 - 108 Ohm – CONDUCTIVE R 104 - 106 Ohm Please note that specific values of resistivity change with time in service owing to swell, abrasion or ­­ ageing.

All colored compounds are to be considered non conductive.

Metallic conductors must be used to assure suitable means of static discharge.

– strands of copper or stainless steel wire incorporated into the hose body and which are connected directly or via the couplings to earth.

– Steel wire helixes – steel cord or braids as found in hydraulic – or steam hoses The method of obtaining a conductive connection may vary form country to country. Most common standards are DIN 2823, EN 12115, VG 95955, BG Chemie and various British and SAE Standards.

Antistatic Properties For example BG Chemie (German safety standard for chemical industries) following recommendations are made: – Oil- and Chemicalhoses Rmax 106 Ohm – idem, but in EX atmospheres Rmax 104 Ohm – Abrasion hoses in EX atmospheres Rmax 104 Ohm An exception to the points points mentioned before are hoses used in metallurgical applications, coating equipment, electric furnace ovens or as cable protection hose.

In these applications non conductive hose is used to avoid flash over. Typical voltages encountered are 1000 Volt DC in cathodic plating equipment.

If a conductive hose is used in this application, most certainly flash over will take place, damaging the hose and equipment.

Only high grade compounds are utilized to achieve the necessary isolating values and dielectrical strenghts.

Chemical Hose and Resistance to Chemicals All temperatures mentioned in this catalogue for chemical hoses are general indications for a certain material based upon suppliers specification. Depending on chemical in use, these temperatures may vary considerably.

For individual resistance of a certain hose we kindly ask you to contact us. By purpose no general resistance chart is included in this catalogue, as resistance ratings may vary between suppliers. A good example is PE-X, where materials from various suppliers show differences in temperature­range and chemical resistance. For all ­products mentioned in this catalogue detailed resistance charts are available at Peters Rubber & Plastics.

In order to make a recommendation following information is required: – name of chemical conveyed, formula or CAS number – pure chemical, impuritiesor blends – pressure, temperature and vacuum – intermittend or continious use and information about cleaning procedures – mechanical loads and application – U.S. government or federal regulations if applicable Please note that cover compounds with identical material designations as tube compound will behave differently when coming into contact with chemicals. On cover ­compounds emphasis is laid upon weathering and abrasion resistance, thus sacrifying chemical resistance.

Guidelines for use maintanance of chemical hoses are DIN2823, BG Chemie, EN 12115 or any local or national regulations which may apply.
