This video explains how to select the correct hydraulic hose size for a hydraulic system.
It covers the engineering logic behind hydraulic hose sizing, including the relationship between flow rate, oil velocity, pressure drop, and Reynolds number. The video explains why hose size does not control system pressure or cylinder speed, and why correct hose sizing is still critical for efficiency, heat control, and component life.
▀ ▀ ▀
The video also explains how to apply STAMP for hose selection and how to choose hoses from manufacturer catalogues by understanding pressure rating, hose construction, and standards. Differences between SAE construction-based hoses and ISO constant-pressure hoses are also discussed, with practical examples.
This video is intended for mechanical engineers, hydraulic system designers, and anyone involved in hydraulic machine design.
