Spiral Hydraulic Hoses

Balflex® hydraulic Steel Wire Spiral hoses are produced to Balflex® specifications and according to ISO 3862, SAE J517 and EN 856 standards. They cover a wide variety of very high pressure applications, for petroleum and water base hydraulic fluids.

Balflex® optimized the production of these hoses and their compatibility with a wide range of connectors, in order to assure the highest performance and the most extensive range of applications.

Balflex® hydraulic steel wire spiral wounded hoses are designed with a safety factor of
4:1 relating minimum burst pressure and recommended working pressure. Working
pressure [ W P ] and nominal diameter [ D N ] are always branded on the hose.

Hydraulic hoses are designed for petroleum base hydraulic fluids applications with a temperature range of –40˚C (-40˚F) to +100˚C (+212˚F). Special rubber compounds and other lining materials allow to exceed these limits. Hydraulic hoses may also be used for water base hydraulic fluids if the working temperature does not exceed +70˚C (+158˚F). For conveyance of Hot Air working temperature should be reduced to a maximum of +60˚C (+140˚F).
