Is the EN 853 2SN S double braided steel hydraulic hose suitable for temperatures up to +120Â°C temporarily and what limits apply for water and air (max +70Â°C)?

Yes. EN 853 2SN S double braided steel hydraulic hose is rated for an operating temperature range of â40Â°C to +100Â°C and may be used temporarily up to +120Â°C. However, for fluids such as water and air the maximum permitted operating temperature is +70Â°C. Additional limit: when using air at pressures above 17 bar, the hose requires microâperforation of the outer layer. Ensure application durations at +120Â°C are truly temporary and consistent with manufacturer guidance and safety margins.

Does the EN 853 2SN S double braided steel hydraulic hose require special treatment or limitations for continuous use at high pressures near 415 bar?

EN 853 2SN S double braided steel hydraulic hose can operate up to 415 bar depending on diameter, but requires precautions for continuous use near that maximum. Use within specified working pressure for the hose size only; avoid sustained operation at or above the maximum rating to prevent accelerated wear and safety risk. Observe operating temperature limits (-40Â°C to +100Â°C, temporarily +120Â°C); higher temperatures reduce pressure capability. For water and air keep temperature â¤ +70Â°C. For compressed air above 17 bar the outer layer must be micro-perforated. Regular inspection for abrasion, kinks, fittings, and periodic replacement per service conditions are recommended. Follow manufacturer installation, safety factors and pressure cycling guidelines.

Can EN 853 2SN S double braided steel hydraulic hose be used with compressed air above 17 bar without outer layer micro-perforation?

No. EN 853 2SN S double braided steel hydraulic hose is not suitable for use with compressed air above 17 bar without micro-perforation of the outer layer. According to the provided specification for this general-purpose hydraulic hose, air service above 17 bar requires micro-perforation of the outer rubber cover. Using the hose for highâpressure compressed air without performing that microâperforation would violate the stated requirement and could create safety and performance risks.
