ENGINEERING DATA ASSEMBLY LENGTH
                            How To Determine Correct Assembly Length
For most assemblies, the  correct assembly length may be
determined by direct measurement of the equipment or a drawing. Minimum bend radii as shown in the hose specification tables
should be observed.                                                             Assemblies are measured to the end of the Seal.		 To determine the length of hose needed in making assemblies with permanent or reusable couplings, subtract Dimension "C" (Cut Off factor) for  each coupling from the required overall assembly length.
Remember that hydraulic hose under pressure will elongate up to 2% of its length or contract up to 4% depending on pressure, type and size. Sufficient allowance should be made to permit such changes in length.
