Malone Specialty: Choosing the Perfect Hydraulic Hose for Optimal Performance 

According to Fluid Power World, selecting the right hydraulic hose for your application requires careful consideration and attention to various factors. While inner diameter and working pressure are essential starting points, outer diameter and weight play a crucial role in mobile machine applications.

For factory settings or mining drill makers, the hose’s life expectancy, indicated by the pressure impulse cycle rating, becomes critical. The impulse cycles subject the hose to sudden on-off pressures, testing its durability. Factors such as hose fittings, fluid type, abrasion resistance, flexing cycles, and installation challenges must also be considered.

To ensure informed decisions, it is recommended to consult standard references such as SAE 517 and SAE J1273 for guidance on hose properties, installation, and maintenance. Understanding these aspects will lead to the best hose selection for your hydraulic machine, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Malone Specialty: Understanding the Power of Hydraulics: How Moving Liquids Drive Machines 

According to Explain That Stuff, the fascinating world of hydraulics connects a simple water pistol to massive cranes. It all revolves around the science of moving liquids to power various machines, from garbage trucks to motorboat steering. Unlike gases, liquids are virtually incompressible, making them behave more like solids when pressure is applied. This unique property allows for the efficient transmission of force and speed, making hydraulic systems crucial in numerous applications.

From firing a water pistol to operating cranes, the principle of hydraulics remains constant. Discover the science behind this technology that keeps industries moving efficiently and safely.

Malone Specialty: Selecting Hydraulic Piping and Fittings

According to Hose Assembly Tips, hydraulic systems often utilize steel piping as a fluid conductor, especially for high-volume fluid movement or when cost considerations favor it over tubing. Seamless carbon steel piping is commonly used in the basic hydraulic circuit. Attention to detail is crucial when choosing piping, ensuring it is free from dust, rust, and manufacturing residue. Steel pipes are typically coated with a lacquer finish to prevent rusting during shipping and storage. Galvanized pipes are not recommended for hydraulic systems.

For sizing pipes, the “Nominal Pipe Size” (NPS) system is used, with the inside diameter smaller than the outside diameter for pipes up to 12 inches. Pipes larger than 12 inches have the NPS referring to the outside diameter.

Commercial grade carbon steel pipes are available in standard sizes ranging from 1⁄8 to 42 inches, with various wall thicknesses affecting fluid flow efficiency.

Malone Specialty: Understanding Hydraulic Machines

As explained by HowStuffWorks, hydraulic systems operate on a simple principle of transmitting force using an incompressible fluid, typically oil. When force is applied to one piston, it is efficiently transmitted to another piston through the fluid-filled pipe, thanks to the incompressible nature of the oil. This characteristic allows the pipe to be flexible in shape and length, accommodating various configurations between the pistons. Moreover, hydraulic systems offer easy force multiplication or division by adjusting the relative size of pistons and cylinders.
