SAE 100R8 Hose

Description

• Construction:
  • Inner Tube: SAE 100R8 hoses feature a thermoplastic inner tube, commonly made of nylon (polyamide) or similar materials. The thermoplastic nature allows for flexibility and resistance to hydraulic fluids.
  • Reinforcement: These hoses typically have one or two layers of braided synthetic fiber reinforcement. The reinforcement provides strength and pressure resistance.
  • Cover: The outer cover is also made of thermoplastic material, offering additional protection to the hose.
• Application:
  • SAE 100R8 hoses are designed for high-pressure hydraulic systems and applications.
  • They are commonly used in hydraulic machinery, hydraulic jacks, and other systems where a lightweight, flexible, and high-pressure hose is required.
• Temperature Range:
  • SAE 100R8 hoses generally have a temperature range between -40°C to +93°C (-40°F to +200°F), making them suitable for a variety of operating conditions.
• Pressure Rating:
  • These hoses are intended for high-pressure hydraulic applications and often have a working pressure ranging from 140 to 350 bar (2,000 to 5,000 psi).
• Features:
  • High flexibility: The thermoplastic construction allows for increased flexibility, making these hoses suitable for applications where bending and maneuverability are important.
  • Resistance to hydraulic fluids: The thermoplastic materials used in the inner tube provide good resistance to hydraulic oils and other fluids.
• Uses:
  • SAE 100R8 hoses are commonly used in hydraulic systems where a lightweight and flexible hose is required. They are suitable for applications such as hydraulic power units, tooling machinery, and high-pressure fluid transfer systems.
• Color Coding:
  • These hoses may be color-coded for easy identification. Common colors include black, orange, or other distinct colors to differentiate them from other types of hoses.
