Hydraulic Fittings Company introduced 8 reasons for the failure of hydraulic hoses:

2. Hydraulic hoses will fail due to dry air. Did you know that hydraulic hoses will also stop working due to dry air? This happens when the hose starts to leak due to small cracks caused by dry air. If you think that dry air may cause problems for your tissues, you can try to increase the dew point of the air or use certain types of rubber inner tubes.

3. Hydraulic hoses are not assembled correctly Another situation we often see is that the hoses are not assembled correctly. This can cause many operational problems and potential safety hazards. A hydraulic hose that does not meet the correct insertion depth may cause it to fail. One trick to prevent this is to use a depth block when inserting the hose, so you can be sure that it meets the insertion specifications.

4. Hydraulic hoses may fail due to pipe corrosion. Pipe corrosion caused by fluid or high-speed flow can also cause hydraulic hoses to leak. As a safety precaution, you can check the medium beforehand to ensure that it is not too corrosive or abrasive to the pipe. The hose assembly should also be loose enough so that fluid can pass through the inner tube of the hose. The precaution you can take is to strictly follow the specifications so that you are sure that the hose has the correct bend radius and the correct size.

5. The hydraulic hose becomes brittle due to overheating. When hoses are overheated, they may become hard due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. You can take many measures to keep the hydraulic hoses at the right temperature.

6. Hydraulic hoses may fail due to contamination. Contamination is another reason for hose failures. If materials and other debris are removed from time to time, they may remain in the hose. This can cause the hose to become clogged or cracks in the inner tube.

7. Hydraulic hoses may fail due to fluid incompatibility. Fluid incompatibility problems will cause the inner tube to leak and be contaminated, which will damage the hydraulic hoses. Check the hydraulic system and install only hoses that you are sure are compatible with the fluid they need to carry.

8. The hydraulic hose may fail due to the minimum bending radius. Finally, we noticed that the hydraulic hose may fail due to not meeting the minimum bending radius. This can cause the hose tube and cap to separate or kinks, which prevents the medium from flowing through the tube. On the other hand, if the hose exceeds the bending radius, the hose may become too flat and not bend enough.
