FAQ: SAE100 R17 Technical Terminology
1. What are the key materials used in sae100 hydraulic hoses?
SAE100 R17 hoses predominantly use NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) or EPDM for the inner tube to guarantee oil resistance and flexibility; outer covers utilize SBR/CR/EPDM for abrasion, weather, and ozone protection. Reinforcement is achieved via one or two high-tensile steel wire braids.
2. Which international standards do 100r17 hose products comply with?
They comply with SAE J517 (hydraulic hose standards), ISO 18752 (performance-based), EN857, and in mining use, MSHA flame-resistance requirements.
3. What are the typical sae 100r17 hose specifications?
SAE 100R17 hoses have an inner tube diameter of 3/8"–1", a max working pressure up to 21 MPa (for smaller sizes), and a minimum bend radius dramatically tighter than standard SAE hoses. See the parameter table for details.
4. What installation standards must be observed?
Installations should comply with ISO 4413:2010 (hydraulic fluid power—general rules and safety), ensure correct bend radius, avoid torsion, and use certified (EN ISO 12151) crimped fittings for leakfree performance.
5. What is the expected lifespan of sae100 hydraulic hoses?
With proper installation and SAE-standard usage (impulse cycles ≥ 200,000), working life is 2–3 years under heavy-duty cycles, and up to 4+ years in moderate conditions.
6. Are hydraulic hoses suitable for special fluids or extreme temperature?
Yes: Custom compound variants for bio-oil, phosphate ester fluids (with EPR tube), and ultra-low temp (-55°C) or high-heat (+125°C) are available.
