Applications for rubber hoses SAE100 R3
Hydraulic Systems: Primarily used for conveying petroleum-based hydraulic oils (mineral oils), water-glycol hydraulic fluids, lubricants, and water within industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and mobile hydraulics. Their design ensures compatibility with fluids while maintaining flexibility under pressures typically ranging from 2.6 MPa (380 psi) to 10.5 MPa (1520 psi), depending on size.
Pneumatic Systems: Suitable for compressed air applications where lightweight, flexible hoses resistant to abrasion and weathering are required. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 100°C (intermittently up to 120°C).
Industrial Fluid Transfer: Widely deployed in manufacturing plants for handling oils, fuels, and water-based coolants in machine tools, conveying systems, and auxiliary equipment. The oil- and abrasion-resistant cover provides durability in demanding environments like workshops and assembly lines.
Mobile Equipment: Integral to construction machinery, forklifts, and agricultural tractors for low-pressure hydraulic lines controlling implements, steering, or auxiliary functions. Their flexibility aids routing in confined spaces.
SAE 100 R3 hoses are characterized by an oil-resistant synthetic rubber tube, two textile braid reinforcement layers for flexibility, and a rugged cover resistant to abrasion, weather, ozone, and aging. Standard sizes range from 3/16" (5mm) to 1-1/4" (31.5mm) ID.
