This Enerpac HC7206 hydraulic hose is for use with highpressure applications such as hydraulic jacks and has a maximum working pressure of 10,000 (pounds per square inch) psi. It is 6 in length, with a polyurethane outer jacket for resistance to abrasion and two layers of steel wire braids for strength and resistance to expansion. It has a rubber strain relief crimped on each end for improved life and durability, with a 3/8 NPTF (National Pipe Thread Fuel) fitting on one end and a CH604 fitting on the other.Industrial hoses transfer or convey air or liquid in hose systems. When selecting industrial hoses, use the STAMPED method to help determine the type of hose needed:S = Size (ID, OD, and length)T = Temperature (maximum and minimum temperatures of material being transported)A = Application (industry or process)M = Material (to be conveyed, type and concentration)P = Pressure (maximum working pressure)E = Ends (type of end connectors or couplings on hose)D = Delivery method (volume and velocity)The inside diameter of the hose must be adequate to keep pressure loss to a minimum and avoid damage to the hose due to heat generation or excessive turbulence. The hose must be capable of withstanding the minimum and maximum temperatures that occur within the hose system. Some applications require specialized oils or chemicals to be conveyed through the system. In this case, hose selection must ensure compatibility of the hose tube, cover, couplings and Orings with the fluid used. Industrial hoses are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.Enerpac manufactures highpressure tools and equipment for industrial applications. The company, founded in 1910, is headquartered in Menomonee Falls, WI.
