Hydraulic systems on construction equipment, mining machinery, and industrial plants demand hoses that can withstand
constant pressure cycling, tight bend radii, oil saturation, and abrasive environments. A single-braid hose often
fails prematurely under these combined loads. This Double-wire-braid flexible hydraulic hose uses a double-layer
high-tensile steel wire braid and a flexible rubber compound to deliver the pressure capacity of a heavy-duty hose
with the routing flexibility required in compact machine compartments. It is manufactured by Hengshui Zhehan Rubber
& Plastic Products Co., Ltd., a direct factory with in-house compounding, braiding, and pressure-testing
operations.
Design, Construction & Verified Performance
Double-Layer Steel Wire Braid
The reinforcement consists of two layers of high-tensile galvanized steel wire, cross-braided at a precise angle.
This construction provides approximately 60% higher pressure capacity than a comparable single-braid hose of the
same diameter. The braid angle is controlled to maintain hose stability under impulse loads and prevent wire
displacement or "bird-caging" during flexing.
Compliance with EN853 2SN
The Double-wire-braid flexible hydraulic hose is designed and tested in accordance with the dimensional and
performance requirements of EN853 2SN, a recognized European standard for compact double-wire-braid hydraulic hose.
This provides a verifiable reference point for pressure ratings, bend radius, and impulse performance.
Impulse Fatigue Resistance
Under impulse testing at the rated working pressure, the hose has completed 500,000 pressure cycles without leakage,
burst, or structural failure. This test simulates the repeated pressure spikes that occur when hydraulic cylinders
reverse direction or when loads shift suddenly.
Pressure & Burst Data
Standard working pressure: 21 MPa to 35 MPa (3,046 psi to 5,076 psi)
Minimum burst pressure: ≥ 80 MPa (11,603 psi)
This burst-to-working-pressure ratio provides a clear safety margin for hydraulic systems with unpredictable pressure
spikes.
Oil & Media Resistance
The inner tube is compounded from a high-density oil-resistant synthetic rubber. It is suitable for mineral hydraulic
oil, water-oil emulsions, and many standard hydraulic fluids. Long-term immersion does not cause significant
swelling, hardening, or cracking.
Flexibility & Small Bend Radius
The hose is engineered with a smaller minimum bend radius than many standard double-braid hoses. This allows
installation in tight spaces—such as excavator boom joints or compact agricultural equipment—without kinking or
internal flow restriction.
Wide Temperature Range
The hose remains serviceable from -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F) continuous, with intermittent exposure up to
125°C (257°F). The rubber compound does not become brittle in freezing conditions or soften excessively near hot
engine bays.
Weather & Abrasion Resistance
The outer cover is made from a synthetic rubber formulated for ozone, UV, and abrasion resistance. It protects the
steel braid from rust and mechanical damage in outdoor and industrial environments.
Typical Applications
Construction Machinery
Excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, and mobile cranes. The hose is used for boom, bucket, and steering
circuits where high pressure and tight bending occur simultaneously.
Mining & Tunneling Equipment
Hydraulic roof supports, roadheaders, and conveyor tensioning systems. The double braid provides an extra margin
against rock impact and external abrasion in underground conditions.
Metallurgical & Heavy Industrial Plants
Forging presses, rolling mill hydraulic systems, and continuous casting equipment. These applications involve
high-frequency pressure pulses and high ambient temperatures near furnaces.
Agricultural & General Machinery
Combine harvesters, sprayers, injection molding machines, and compact utility equipment. The hose's flexibility
simplifies routing in confined spaces, and its oil resistance suits long service intervals.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance
Installation
Route the hose without exceeding the published minimum bend radius. Avoid twisting during fitting assembly. Use
compatible crimped fittings and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's torque specification. If the hose must be
routed near hot surfaces or sharp edges, use protective sleeves or clamps.
Operating Limits
Do not exceed the rated working pressure. Pressure spikes above the rating will shorten hose life. The hose is not
intended for strong acid, strong alkali, or solvent service. For alternative fluids, contact the manufacturer before
ordering.
Inspection
Check the outer cover regularly for cuts, abrasion, or swelling. Inspect fittings for leaks or movement. If any steel
wire is visible or the hose has been crushed, replace it immediately.
Cleaning
Keep the cover free of heavy oil, mud, and debris. Accumulated grime can hide early signs of wear and accelerate
cover degradation.
Storage
Store unused hose in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight, rain, and ozone-generating equipment. Do
not stack heavy objects on hose coils.
