Extracts from SAE J1273 DEC2014: Recommended Practices for Hydraulic Hose Assemblies
1. Scope—SAE J1273 provides guidelines for selection, routing, fabrication, installation, replace-
R is ment, maintenance, and storage of hose and hose assemblies for fluid-power systems. Many of these
SAE Recommended Practices also may be suitable for other hoses and systems.
5. Hose Selection and Routing—A wide variety of interacting factors influence hose service life and
the ability of each fluid-power system to operate satisfactorily, and the combined effects of these
factors on service life are often unpredictable. Therefore, these documents should not be construed
as design standards. For applications outside the specifications in SAE J517, SAE J514, or other
relevant design standards, performance of hose assemblies should be determined by appropriate
testing. Carefully analyze each system. Then design routings and select hose and related compo-
nents to meet the system-performance and hose-service-life requirements, and to minimize the risks
of personal injury and/or property damage. Consider the following factors:
5.1 System Pressures—Excessive pressure can accelerate hose assembly failure. Analyze the
steady-state pressures, and the frequency and amplitude of pressure surges, such as pulses and
spikes. These are rapid and transient rises in pressure which may not be indicated on many common
pressure gauges and can be identified best on high-frequency-response electronic measuring instru-
e ments.
ble
l- For maximum hose service life, hose selection should be based on a system pressure, including
at surges, that is less than the hose maximum working pressure. Hose may be used above its maxi-
mum working pressure where reduced life expectancy is acceptable. SAE J1927 provides one
method to help predict wire-reinforced hose service life for a given hydraulic application, where the
surge pressure peaks vary, and/or the highest pressure peaks occur infrequently.
he
? 5.2 Suction—For suction applications, such as inlet flow to pumps, select hose to withstand both the
negative and positive pressures the system imposes on the hose.
of 5.3 External Pressure—In certain applications, such as in autoclaves or under water, the external
re environmental pressures may exceed the fluid pressure inside the hose. In these applications, con-
in? sider the external pressures, and if necessary, consult the manufacturers.
ve
5.4 Temperature—Exceeding hose temperature ratings may significantly reduce hose life. Select
an hose so the fluid and ambient temperatures, both static and transient, fall within the hose ratings. The
effects of external heat sources should not raise the temperature of the hose above its maximum op-
erating temperature. Select hose, heat shields, sleeving, and other methods for these requirements,
and route or shield hose to avoid hose damage from external heat sources.

5.5 Permeation—Permeation, or effusion, is seepage of fluid through the hose. Certain materials in 5.12
hose construction are more permeable than others. Consider the effects of permeation dard
whenselecting hose, especially with gaseous fluids. Consult the hose and fluid manufacturers for
permeability information. 5.13
dete
5.6 Hose-Material Compatibility—Variables that can affect compatibility of system fluids with hose clea
materials include, but are not limited to: ther
5.9 Sizing—The power transmitted by pressurized uid varies with pressure and rate of ow. Select 5.20
hose with adequate size to minimize pressure loss, and to avoid hose damage from heat generation from
or excessive velocity. Conduct calculations, or consult the manufacturers for sizing at ow velocities.
5.21
5.10 Unintended Uses—Hose assemblies are designed for the internal forces of conducted uids. othe
Do not pull hose or use it for purposes that may apply external forces for which the hose or ttings radi
were not designed. rupt
5.11 Specications and Standards—When selecting hose and ttings for specic applications, refer 5.22
to applicable government, industry, and manufacturer’s specications and standards.

r, 5.15 Vibration—Vibration can reduce hose service life. If required, conduct tests to evaluate the fre-
quency and amplitude of system vibration. Clamps or other means may be used to reduce the effects
of vibration. Consider the vibration requirements when selecting hose and predicting service life.
on
d 5.16 Hose Cover Protection—Protect the hose cover from abrasion, erosion, snagging, and cutting.
Special abrasion-resistant hoses and hose guards are available for additional protection. Route hose
to reduce abrasion from hose rubbing other hose or objects that may abrade it.
o
5.17 External Physical Abuse—Route hose to avoid:
a. Tensile loads
b. Side loads
c. Flattening
d. Thread damage
e. Kinking
f. Damage to sealing surfaces
g. Abrasion
h. Twisting
5.18 Swivel-Type Adapters—Swivel-type ttings or adapters do not transfer torque to hose while be-
ing tightened. Use these as needed to prevent twisting during installation.
g in
lect 5.19 Live Swivels—If two components in the system are rotating in relation to each other, live swiv-
els may be necessary. These connectors reduce the torque transmitted to the hose.
ct 5.20 Slings and Clamps—Use slings and clamps to support heavy or long hose and to keep it away
on from moving parts. Use clamps that prevent hose movement that will cause abrasion.
es.
5.21 Minimum Bend Radius—The minimum bend radius is dened in SAE J343 and is specied in
s. other SAE standards and hose manufacturer’s product literature. Routing at less than minimum bend
radius may reduce hose life. Sharp bending at the hose/tting juncture may result in leaking, hose
rupturing, or the hose assembly blowing apart (see 4.2)
efer 5.22 Elbows and Adapters—In special cases, use elbows or adapters to relieve hose strain.
5.23 Lengths—Unnecessarily long hose can increase pressure drop and affect system performance.

When pressurized, hose that is too short may pull loose from its ttings, or stress the tting connec- 7.6
tions, causing premature metallic or seal failures. When establishing hose length, use the following pres
practices: vide
thes
5.23.1 MOTION ABSORPTION—Provide adequate hose length to distribute movement and prevent
bends smaller than the minimum bend radius. Foll
prop
5.23.2 HOSE AND MACHINE TOLERANCES—Design hose to allow for changes in length due to fact
machine motion and tolerances.
7.7
5.23.3 HOSE LENGTH CHANGE DUE TO PRESSURE—Design hose to accommodate length plet
changes from changing pressures. Do not cross or clamp together high- and low-pressure hoses. and
The difference in length changes could wear the hose covers.
7.7.
5.24 Hose Movement and Bending—Hose allows relative motion between system components.
Analyze this motion when designing hose systems. The number of cycles per day may signicantly
affect hose life. Also avoid multiple planes of motion and twisting motion. Consider the motion of the
hose when selecting hose and predicting service life. In applications that require hose to move or
bend, use these practices: 8. M

7. Hose Installation and Replacement—Use the following practices when installing hose assem- test
blies in new systems or replacing hose assemblies in existing systems:
8.2
7.1 Pre-Installation Inspection—Before installing hose assemblies, examine:
a. Hose length and routing for compliance with original design
b. Assemblies for correct style, size, length, and visible nonconformities
c. Fitting sealing surfaces for burrs, nicks, or other damage
NOTE— When replacing hose assemblies in existing systems, verify that the replacement is of equal
quality to the original assembly.
7.2 Handling During Installation—Handle hose with care during installation. Kinking hose, or bend-
ing at less than minimum bend radius may reduce hose life. Avoid sharp bending at the hose/tting
juncture (see 5.21). If an
7.3 Twist Angle and Orientation—Pressure applied to a twisted hose may shorten the life of the 8.3
hose or loosen the connections. To avoid twisting, use the hose lay line or marking as a reference. for r
7.4 Securement and Protection—Install necessary restraints and protective devices. Determine that
such devices do not create additional stress or wear points.
7.5 Routing—Review proper routing practices provided in Section 5 and make appropriate correc-
tions to obtain optimum performance. If an

c- 7.6 Assembly Torque—The connection end of a hose tting is normally threaded to obtain a tight
g pressure seal when attached to a port, an adapter, or another tting. Sometimes bolts or screws pro-
vide the threaded connection. Each size and type of connection requires different torque values, and
these may vary due to type of material or exterior coating.
nt
Follow appropriate torquing instructions to obtain a proper pressure seal without over-torquing. A
properly calibrated torque wrench should be used to tighten each connection, except when the manu-
facturer species tightening a specied number of hex at turns beyond nger tight to obtain a seal.
7.7 System Checkouts—In hydraulic or other liquid systems, eliminate all air entrapment after com-
pleting the installation. Follow manufacturers’ instructions to test the system for possible malfunctions
and leaks.
8. Maintenance Inspection—A hose and tting maintenance program may reduce equipment down-
time, maintain peak operating performance, and reduce the risk of personal injury and/or property
damage. The user should design and implement a maintenance program that suits the specic ap-
plication and each specic hose in that application.
8.1 Inspection Frequency—Evaluate factors such as the nature and severity of the application, past
history, and manufacturers’ information to establish the frequency of visual inspections and functional
- tests.
8.2 Visual Inspection (Hose and Fittings)—Visually inspect hose and ttings for:
a. Leaks at hose tting or in hose
b. Damaged, cut, or abraded cover
c. Exposed reinforcement
d. Kinked, crushed, attened, or twisted hose
e. Hard, stiff, heat cracked, or charred hose
ual f. Blistered, soft, degraded, or loose cover
g. Cracked, damaged, or badly corroded ttings
h. Fitting slippage on hose
nd- i. Other signs of signicant deterioration
g
If any of these conditions exist, evaluate the hose assemblies for correction or replacement.
8.3 Visual Inspection (All Other Components)—When visually inspecting hose and ttings, inspect
. for related items including:
a. Leaking ports
that b. Damaged or missing hose clamps, guards, or shields
c. Excessive dirt and debris around hose
d. System uid: level, type, contamination, condition, and air entrainment
-
If any of these are found, address them appropriately.

9.1 Age Control—Maintain a system of age control to determine that hose is used before its shelf
life has expired. Shelf life is the period of time when it is reasonable to expect the hose to retain full For
capabilities for rendering the intended service. Res
Store hose in a manner that facilitates age control and rst-in, rst-out usage based on manufactur-
ing date on hose or hose assembly. Per SAE J517:
a. Shelf life of rubber hose in bulk form, or in hose assemblies passing visual inspection and
proof test, is forty quarters (ten years) from the date of vulcanization.
b. Shelf life of thermoplastic and polytetrauoroethylene hose is considered to be unlimited.
