ContiTech Mobile Fluid Systems has introduced a high-pressure hydraulic hose with stainless steel braid. The Extended Life XR16SC high-pressure hydraulic hose features excellent abrasion resistance, tight bending radii and flexibility. The hose can be used both with oil and with water-based hydraulic fluids.
The company has re-engineered these hoses incorporating the latest in materials technology. The new hose for oil and fuel transfer utilizes a stainless steel braid and is therefore more flexible and inexpensive than previous high-temperature hoses. At a pressure of 15 bar they withstand continuous temperatures of up to 230°C, with transient peaks of 250°C.
