The Fitting Has Blown Off the Hose
The cause of this problem is most commonly because the hydraulic hose was not injected far enough into the shell of the fitting during original assembly. Depending on the type of hose and it’s fitting, the fitting may have grips in the shell, all of these grips are needed to hold the fitting onto the hose. These grips, the last one in particular, are pivotal when it comes to applying the full holding strength needed to secure the hose in the fitting.
Solution: In this instance, the hose assembly will need to be replaced. Ensure that the correct assembly of the hose is carried out, in order to avoid this from happening in future.
The Wire Reinforcement has Failed
After a hose burst happens, the braid along the outside of the hose will be visibly broken. Furthermore, there will be minimalised outward deflection of wire in the relative area. When this occurs, it is clear that the hose can no longer work effectively.
Solution: Assess the application and then replace the entire hose assembly.
Torn Cover and Reinforcement Wires Damage
When a hose bursts and leaves the cover either torn or deteriorated, the reinforcement wires can also be affected and may be rubbed, broken or corroded. This outcome could be a result of excessive rubbing of the hose against external objects, or possibly as a result of the wrong size clamp being used.
Solution: The hose assembly needs to be replaced and the use of a hose guard is recommended . Ensure that the correct size clamps are being used in order to prevent this happening again.
