Standards of hydraulic hose fittings
In recent years, the market for rubber hoses used in automobiles has been expanding at an approximate rate of 25%. These auto hoses are predominantly integrated into five key systems: the brake system, air conditioning, power steering system, cooling system, and oil system. As the automotive industry progresses, the demand for auto hoses is set to soar.
Regarding the material, the traditional single rubber has been phased out. To adapt to diverse working conditions, synthetic rubbers are now favored. Among them, SBR, NBR, CR, and EPDM are the most commonly utilized. In terms of structure, hoses have evolved from single-layer to multi-layer, typically comprising an inner tube, a reinforcement layer, and a cover.
What makes rubber hoses stand out?
Firstly, they possess excellent processability and are easily molded. Through various molding techs, we can produce a wide variety of products.
Secondly, they exhibit remarkable high and low temperature resistance. Capable of enduring long-term operation at 200°C, they still maintain their elasticity even at -60°C.
Thirdly, their electrical insulation properties are top-notch. The dielectric feature, especially at high temp, far surpass those of ordinary organic rubbers. Moreover, within the 20 – 200°C range, the dielectric strength remains relatively unaffected by temperature changes.
Fourthly, they offer outstanding resistance to weather, ozone, and UV rays. When used outdoors for extended periods, they rarely crack. Under proper maintenance, general rubber hoses can last for over five years.
In addition to regular rubbers, silicone auto hoses have also gained significant popularity due to their superior properties. Orientflex is a highly capable and dependable factory, proficient in manufacturing both rubber and silicone auto hoses. We also provide OEM/ODM services, allowing you to customize your hoses. You can simply send us the OEM number or a drawing, and we’ll supply you with the finest hoses. We can even print your logo and text as per your request.
