Description
Product details
Standard and Designation: SAE Standard: The R 14 designation is part of SAE J517, which specifies hydraulic hoses designed to handle high-pressure applications. This standard outlines the construction, performance, and testing requirements for such hoses. Construction: Inner Liner: Typically made from a high-quality PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) or similar fluoropolymer material. PTFE provides excellent chemical resistance and low friction, ensuring smooth fluid flow and compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic fluids. Reinforcement: The hose is reinforced with multiple layers of steel braiding. This reinforcement provides the necessary strength to withstand high pressures and resist external damage. Outer Cover: Usually made from a durable synthetic rubber or thermoplastic material that offers protection against abrasion, weathering, and chemicals. The outer cover is designed to extend the hose’s service life and enhance its durability. Pressure Rating: Working Pressure: R 14 hoses are designed to handle high pressures, typically up to 30 bar to 70 bar (approximately 450 psi to 1000 psi), depending on the specific design and application. Temperature Range: Operating Temperature: Generally operates effectively within a temperature range from -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F). The specific temperature range can vary based on the hose’s construction materials. Flexibility: Flexibility and Bending Radius: Designed to be flexible, making it easier to handle and install in various applications. The hose typically has a tight bending radius, allowing it to be used in confined spaces. Chemical Resistance: Compatibility: The PTFE liner provides excellent chemical resistance, making the hose suitable for use with a wide range of hydraulic fluids, including aggressive chemicals, oils, and solvents.
