Hydraulic Hose and Fitting in Chennai

A hydraulic system relies on much more than just pumps, cylinders and valves. A hose and fitting assembly is also vital to the safety and efficient operation of the machine, transporting hydraulic fluid from one component to another. A hose that lacks the appropriate pressure rating or a fitting that is the incorrect size can result in leakage, a loss of pressure, hose failure and unexpected downtime. We are experienced and trusted Hydraulic Hose and Fitting Dealers in Chennai and provide our customers with the right hose and connection solutions that cater to customers' pressure, size, temperature, movement, routing and equipment needs. If you are looking for a new hydraulic hose, fittings for a new assembly, or complete hose fitting assemblies, we have a practical solution for the application in mind.

The Hose and Fitting Work as One Assembly

A hose should not be chosen without taking its fittings into consideration. Needs to be fully installed. The hose is used to transport the hydraulic fluid at pressure, and the fittings join the hose and equipment. Either part that's not appropriate could have an impact on the overall reliability. Matching the hose to the application and the hose fitting can help minimise hose and fitting failures due to premature failures or leakages.

The entire construction should be accounted for:

• Working pressure
• Hose size and length
• Temperature
• Hydraulic fluid
• Hose flexibility
• Bend requirements
• Connection type
• Fitting size
• Machine movement
• Installation conditions

Selecting the Correct Hose Size

The size of a hose is not limited to just the physical fitment of the hose. The inside diameter has an impact on the flow of the hydraulic fluid and the performance of the system. If the pipe diameter is too small, the pressure loss will be greater, and this may impact the performance of the hydraulic circuit. On the other hand, despite choosing a hose with alternative considerations to its actual installation needs, certain space and routing problems can be created. 

Hose selection should thus depend on the requirements of flow rate, operating pressure, available installation space and connection size. At Unitech Engineering, our team is available for assistance in determining the appropriate hose dimension for the appropriate hydraulic application.

Hydraulic Fittings for Secure Connections

Hydraulic hoses are used to join hydraulic units together or to attach hydraulic hoses to units with fittings. Several iterations of fittings may need to be done depending on the machine setup. 

Common requirements include:

Straight Fittings: Useful when it is possible to connect the hose without having to turn it around.

Elbow Fittings: Useful where the hose needs to be routed at an angle or around other machine components.

Adapters: When a size or a piece of thread assembly must be matched up.

Tee Fittings: Apply to locations requiring the connection of a hydraulic line to another circuit.

Bulkhead Fittings: Where a hydraulic connection has to penetrate a machine panel or machine structure.

Why Hose Routing Matters

It is possible that even the best hose will fail prematurely when it has been improperly installed. Avoid bending, stretching, rubbing over adjacent parts or twisting the hose to the extreme. Thus, the proper routing and correct bend radius must be taken into account when installing or replacing hydraulic hoses. Adequate space for movement is also necessary where there is machinery in motion in operation. A hose should never be used as a structural member to hold another member in place.

When there is poor routing, the following issues are likely to arise:

• Outer-cover damage
• Excessive bending
• Kinking
• Abrasion
• Fitting stress
• Premature leakage
• Reduced hose service life

Why Choose Unitech Engineering?

Availability of product is just part of the requirement when ordering hydraulic hoses and fittings. Identification and suitability of application are equally important. At Unitech Engineering, we deal with the real world of hydraulic connections and assist customers in making appropriate hose-to-fitting choices. Our goal is to provide reliable hydraulic connection solutions that can fit into the working environment of the equipment.
