Contamination while replacing a hydraulic hose is a significant concern, as an ingress of contaminants can impair the performance of your hydraulic system, leading to inefficiency, increased wear and tear, and even potential system failure. Contaminants can enter a hydraulic system in various ways during hose replacement, and are often introduced through the hose ends during cutting or assembly, and they may also enter while the system is open during hose replacement.

Hydraulic hoses are the blood vessels and arteries of hydraulic systems, transferring the pressurised fluid from one device to another within a system, and conveying the energy required to operate complex machinery and industrial applications. For hydraulic design engineers, therefore, specifying the right type of hydraulic hose is crucial to sustaining the proper functioning of the system and preventing any damage due to incorrect hose selection. In this article, we’ll look at the main commercially available hydraulic hose types, with suggested applications.
