When considering hose pressure, it is crucial to account for both the system’s working pressure and any surge or spike pressures. The selected hose must have a published maximum working pressure that meets or exceeds the system’s maximum pressure.
Surge or peak transient pressures must remain below the hose’s published maximum working pressure. Using a hose beyond its rated capacity can lead to failure, even if burst pressure ratings exceed the working pressure.
All Vereks hydraulic hoses meet industry standards for burst pressure and maintain a 4:1 design factor unless otherwise specified. However, burst pressure ratings are intended only for manufacturing tests and not for operational use. For this reason, burst pressure values have been removed from the hose charts in our catalog to emphasize safe usage within the recommended working pressure limits.
