SAE100 R17 Compact Wire Braided Hydraulic Hose

Detailed Explanation of SAE 100 R17 Compact Wire Braided Hydraulic Hoses

As a leading hydraulic hose manufacturer, SINOPULSE delivers precision-engineered SAE 100 R17 hydraulic hoses designed for high-performance in space-constrained industrial applications. These compact hoses combine robust steel wire braiding with optimized dimensional specs, ensuring reliable pressure resistance and flexible installation. Below is a detailed breakdown of their technical parameters.

Pressure and Structural Specifications

SAE 100 R17 hoses are built to handle medium to high-pressure hydraulic systems, with working pressure ratings ranging from 207 bar (3000 PSI) for ¼" diameter models to 172 bar (2500 PSI) for 1" diameter variants. The burst pressure exceeds 621 bar (9000 PSI), providing a safety factor of 4:1, critical for preventing catastrophic failures in demanding environments like mining machinery or hydraulic presses. This strength comes from single or double layers of high-tensile steel wire braiding: smaller diameters (¼"–½") use a single braid, while larger sizes (⅝"–1") employ a double braid for enhanced reinforcement.

Dimensional and Flexibility Features

Available in diameters from ¼" to 1", these hoses feature a compact design that minimizes installation bulk. The minimum bend radius is optimized for tight spaces, ranging from 50 mm (2") for ¼" hoses to 150 mm (6") for 1" hoses—up to 30% smaller than standard hoses in similar pressure classes. This flexibility allows seamless routing in complex machinery, such as excavator arms or robotic hydraulic systems, without compromising flow efficiency. The outer layer, constructed from abrasion-resistant black synthetic rubber, offers protection against mechanical wear while maintaining flexibility for dynamic movements.

Temperature and Fluid Compatibility

SINOPULSE SAE 100 R17 hoses operate reliably across a wide thermal range, from -40°C (-40°F) in freezing industrial environments to +100°C (212°F) in moderate high-heat applications. The oil-resistant inner rubber layer is compatible with mineral-based hydraulic fluids, including petroleum oils, water-glycol emulsions, and biodegradable fluids, ensuring long-term resistance to swelling or degradation. Additionally, the hoses meet MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) standards for flame resistance, making them suitable for use in hazardous mining and tunneling operations.

Quality and Certification Standards

Every hose undergoes rigorous testing to ensure compliance with SAE 100 R17 specifications, including:

Impulse Testing: at least 500,000 cycles at 1.5 times the working pressure to verify its fatigue resistance
Ozone Resistance: Exposure to 50 pphm ozone for 72 hours without cracking
Burst Pressure Testing: Conducted at 3x working pressure to verify safety margins

As a trusted manufacturer, SINOPULSE guarantees precision in every parameter, from wall thickness (ranging 2.0–4.0 mm) to overall diameter (9.5–28.5 mm), ensuring seamless integration with standard fittings like JIC 37°, BSPP, or NPT.
