2. Hydraulic Hose Material Specifications


Hydraulic hoses are made up of multiple layers to handle pressure and environmental conditions.

Hose Structure:
1. Inner Tube – Synthetic rubber (NBR, EPDM, or PTFE) for oil & fluid compatibility.
2. Reinforcement Layer – High-strength steel wire braiding or spirals for pressure resistance.
3. Outer Cover – Weather-resistant synthetic rubber (CR, NBR) for durability.

Material Types:

Rubber (NBR, EPDM, CR) → Standard hoses for oil-based fluids.


PTFE (Teflon) → High-temperature and chemical-resistant hoses.
Thermoplastic → Lightweight, used in mobile equipment.
Steel Reinforced (Wire Braided/Spiral) → High-pressure and heavy-duty applications.

Backhoes rely on hydraulic systems for all major functions, including digging, lifting, and material handling. Below is a simple e

1. Hydraulic Hose Work in Backhoes

Hydraulic hoses carry high-pressure fluid to operate cylinders and motors. Key factors in hose selection:

Pressure rating (measured in PSI or bar)


Diameter (affects flow rate)
Material (rubber, reinforced steel, or synthetic compounds)
Length (longer hoses may reduce pressure due to friction)

Formula for Hydraulic Pressure Drop:

ΔP=4fLQ2d5\Delta P = \frac{4 f L Q^2}{d^5}ΔP=d54fLQ2​

Where:

ΔP\Delta PΔP = Pressure drop (Pa)


fff = Friction factor
LLL = Hose length (m)
QQQ = Flow rate (m³/s)
ddd = Hose diameter (m)

Example:
A 10-meter-long hose with a diameter of 0.02 m, flow rate of 0.005 m³/s, and friction factor of 0.02:

ΔP=4×0.02×10×(0.005)2(0.02)5=12500 Pa (12.5 kPa)\Delta P = \frac{4 \times 0.02 \times 10 \times (0.005)^2}{(0.02)^5} = 125

This means a pressure loss of 12.5 kPa due to hose resistance.

2. Material Pressure in Backhoe Hydraulics

Hydraulic systems operate at high pressures, usually 2000-5000 PSI (140-350 bar).

Formula for Force from Hydraulic Pressure:

F=P×AF = P \times AF=P×A

Where:

FFF = Force (N)


PPP = Pressure (Pa)
AAA = Piston area (m²)
Example:
If a cylinder has a piston diameter of 0.1 m (10 cm) and operates at 3000 PSI (20.7 MPa):

Area A=π4d2=3.14164×(0.1)2=0.00785 m2A = \frac{\pi}{4} d^2 = \frac{3.1416}{4} \times (0.1)^2 = 0.00785 \text{ m}^2A=4π​d
Force F=20.7×106×0.00785=162.5 kNF = 20.7 \times 10^6 \times 0.00785 = 162.5 \text{ kN}F=20.7×106×0.00785=162.5 kN

So, the cylinder can generate 162.5 kN (16.25 tons) of force.

3. Lifting Capacity of a Backhoe

Lifting depends on hydraulic pressure, boom length, and cylinder strength.

Formula for Lifting Force:

L=F×DhL = \frac{F \times D}{h}L=hF×D​

Where:

LLL = Lifting capacity (N)


FFF = Hydraulic force (N)
DDD = Distance from pivot to lifting point (m)
hhh = Height from pivot to cylinder connection (m)

Example:
If a hydraulic cylinder produces 50 kN force, with D = 2 m and h = 0.5 m:

L=50×20.5=200 kN (20 tons)L = \frac{50 \times 2}{0.5} = 200 \text{ kN} \ (20 \text{ tons})L=0.550×2​=200 kN (20 tons)

The backhoe can lift 20 tons at that position.

4. Summary

Hydraulic hoses must handle high pressure and minimize losses.


Material pressure determines force; higher pressure = more power.
Lifting capacity depends on hydraulic force and geometry.
Use simple formulas to estimate performance.
