Even the best chemical resistant hoses require regular maintenance to ensure their integrity and longevity. Inspecting hoses for signs of wear, cracking, or warping can prevent leaks and other hazards. Proper storage is also important; hoses should be kept out of direct sunlight and stored in a way that prevents kinking or crushing.

2. Reinforcement After extrusion, the hose is reinforced with layers of textile or wire mesh. This reinforcement is crucial as it helps the hose withstand the high pressures exerted by the hydraulic fluids. Depending on the application, different types of reinforcement can be used, such as braided steel wire or spiraled textile yarns, to enhance the strength and flexibility of the hose.

4. Pneumatic Crimpers Operating on compressed air, these crimpers are efficient and are often used in shops where air supply is readily available.

In agriculture, hydraulic hoses connect tractors and other farming machinery to power implements like plows, seeders, and harvesters. Their reliability can significantly impact productivity during planting and harvesting seasons, where downtime can result in lost yields and increased operational costs.

Crimping is the process of compressing a fitting around the end of a hose to create a secure and leak-proof seal. Unlike hose clamps, which can loosen over time or fail under pressure, crimped fittings provide a permanent bond that is less likely to degrade. This is particularly important in high-stress environments, where the consequences of a hose failure can be catastrophic.
