| Occasionally an assembly will
be required similar to the sketches to the right. The following equations
are helpful in determining the correct length.
FOR 180 TURN APPLICATION
L = overall length of the hydraulic hose assembly, in mm or inches A = allowance for a minimum straight section of hydraulic hose at each end of the assembly, measured from the outer end of each coupling, in mm or inches. These two straight sections are necessary to prevent excessive stress concentrations directly back of the couplings. See table below R = bending radius of the hose, in mm or inches. See hose specifications tables. T = amount of travel, in mm or inches. Often right angle adapters provide a convenient means of avoiding too small a bend radius |
