What is Spiral Hose
Spiral hydraulic hose or spiral hose is a high-pressure hydraulic hose that is a key component of hydraulic systems used in dozens of industries. Spiral hose is named after its reinforcement, which is made of multiple layers of metal wires (usually four or six layers) that are twisted together and stacked in alternating directions to form a ‘spiral’ shape.
Spiral Hose Features
Of the two main types of rubber hydraulic hose (braided and spiral), spiral hydraulic hose is the preferred choice for high pressure applications and extreme conditions where the extra rigidity of the spiral structure makes it a stronger, safer choice than the more flexible braided hydraulic hose. However, due to this rigidity, spiral hoses have a significantly smaller bend radius than braided hoses. As with all things, the choice of hose depends on the application.
Spiral Hose Application
Spiral hoses are reliable and robust high-pressure hydraulic hoses that perform heavy-duty jobs safely and efficiently. They are popular in industries such as construction, mining, agriculture, road maintenance and any application that deals with high peak pressures and stringent operating conditions.
Thanks to their fairly rugged design, spiral hoses offer maximum durability and perform well even in freezing temperatures. Snow removers, tractors and other winter equipment are other good examples of spiral hose applications.
Spiral hydraulic hoses are versatile and popular. Because of this, spiral hoses come in many different categories, types and sizes, so finding the right hose and size for your operation can be difficult and overwhelming. They can transport oil- or water-based fluids and operate in temperatures as low as -40°F and as high as +302°F. They can withstand pressures up to 6,500 psi.
