SAE 100R6

This hose should be used with petroleum- and water-based hydraulic fluids within a temperature range from140° to 100° C.

It consists of an inner tube of oil-resistant synthetic rubber, one braided ply of suitable textile yarn, and an oil- and weather-resistant synthetic rubber cover.

SAE 100R7

This thermoplastic hose should be used for synthetic, petroleum-, and water-based hydraulic fluids in a temperature range from140° to 93° C.

It consists of a thermoplastic inner tube resistant to hydraulic fluids with suitable synthetic-fiber reinforcement and a hydraulic fluid- and weather-resistant thermoplastic cover. Nonconductive 100R7 is identified with an orange cover and appropriate lay line. Its pressure capacity is similar to that of 100R1.

SAE 100R8

This high-pressure thermoplastic hose should be used with synthetic, petroleum- and water-based hydraulic fluids within a temperature range from140° to 93° C.

It consists of a thermoplastic inner tube resistant to hydraulic fluids with suitable synthetic-fiber reinforcement and a hydraulic fluid- and weather-resistant thermoplastic cover. Nonconductive 100R8 is identified with an orange cover and appropriate lay line. Its pressure capacity is similar to that of 100R2.

SAE 100R9

This hose should be used with petroleum- and water-based hydraulic fluids within a temperature range from 140° to 100° C.

Type A - This type consists of an inner tube of oil-resistant synthetic rubber, four spiral plies of wire wrapped in alternating directions, and an oil- and weather-resistant synthetic rubber cover. A ply, or braid, of suitable material may be used over the inner tube and/or over the wire reinforcement to anchor the synthetic rubber to the wire.

Type AT - This type is the same construction as Type A, but has a cover designed to assemble with fittings which do not require removal of the cover or any portion of it.

SAE 100R10

This hose should be used with petroleum- and water-based hydraulic fluids within a temperature range from140° to 100° C.

Type A - This type consists of an inner tube of oil-resistant synthetic rubber, four spiral plies of heavy wire wrapped in alternating directions, and an oil- and weather-resistant synthetic rubber cover. A ply, or braid, of suitable material may be used over the inner tube and/or over the wire reinforcement to anchor the synthetic rubber to the wire.

Type AT - This type has the same construction as Type A, but its cover is designed to assemble with fittings which do not require removal of the cover or any portion of it.

SAE 100R11

This hose should be used with petroleum- and water-based hydraulic fluids within a temperature range from 140° to 100° C.

It consists of an inner tube of oil-resistant synthetic rubber, six spiral plies of heavy wire wrapped in alternating directions, and an oil- and weather-resistant synthetic rubber cover. A ply, or braid, of suitable material may be used over the inner tube and/or over the wire reinforcement to anchor the synthetic rubber to the wire.

SAE 100R12

This hose should be used with petroleum- and water-based hydraulic fluids, within a temperature range from 140° to 121° C.

It consists of an inner tube of oil-resistant synthetic rubber, four spiral plies of heavy wire wrapped in alternating directions, and an oil- and weather-resistant synthetic rubber cover. A ply, or braid, of suitable material may be used over the inner tube and/or over the wire reinforcement to anchor the synthetic rubber to the wire.

SAE 100R13

This hose should be used with petroleum- and water-based hydraulic fluids, within a temperature range from 140° to 121° C.

It is constructed with an inner tube of oil-resistant synthetic rubber, followed by multiple spiral plies of heavy wire wrapped in alternating directions, and concluding with an oil- and weather-resistant synthetic rubber cover. A ply, or braid, of suitable material may be used over the inner tube and/or over the wire reinforcement to anchor the synthetic rubber to the wire.

SAE 100R14

This hose should be used with petroleum-, synthetic-, and water-based hydraulic fluids within a temperature range from 154° to 204° C.

Type A - This type consists of an inner tube of polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) reinforced with a single braid of type 303XX stainless steel.

Type B - This type has the same construction as Type A, but has the additional feature of an electrically-conductive inner surface to prevent buildup of an electrostatic charge.

SAE 100R15

This hose should be used with petroleum-based hydraulic fluids within a temperature range from 140° to 121° C.

It consists of an inner tube of oil-resistant synthetic rubber, multiple spiral plies of heavy wire wrapped in alternating directions, and an oil- and weather-resistant rubber cover. A ply, or braid, of suitable material may be used over or within the inner tube and/or over the wire reinforcement to anchor the synthetic rubber to the wire.
