Hydraulic Hose Burst Protection Sleeve

Our Hydraulic Hose Burst Protection Sleeve goes over hydraulic hoses to prevent fluid injection or severe injury if there is a burst in the hose.
A burst or pinhole leak in a hydraulic system can cause serious injuries and potential fire hazards, especially for anything or anyone located within a one-metre line of sight. The Department of Primary Industries requires this type of protection for hydraulic hoses where there is potential for harm to personnel or the environment in the event of a hose failure. Oil injection to your machine operator is a very serious safety issue. High-pressure oil injection can lead to a minimum of surgery or even amputation.

FAQs

What is hydraulic hose burst sleeve protection? A hydraulic hose burst sleeve is a protective covering designed to contain and control leaks and bursts in high-pressure hydraulic hoses. It is typically made of a tough, flexible material such as nylon or polyester, and is designed to fit snugly around the outside of a hydraulic hose.

How long do hydraulic hoses last? Answers vary on the treatment of the machine and hoses. Machines regularly maintained and looked after whilst operating can have hydraulic hoses lasting over two years (on average). If the machine is in a rougher environment then the hydraulic hose may last up to 1-2 years.

Why has my hydraulic hose burst? There are many reasons why hydraulic hoses can burst, the most common reasons are kinks in the hose, abrasion, crushing or extension pressure and pulling.

What are the dangers of a hydraulic hose bursting? There are many risks associated with hydraulic hoses bursting, not only to life and limb in the immediate vicinity but can also cause fire if the oil comes into contact with a hot surface such as exhaust manifolds.

How does burst sleeve protection work? A burst protection sleeve disperses the high pressure from a burst hydraulic hose so that it cannot harm anything or anyone in its path. Once the oil comes into contact with the hose protection, it will run harmlessly down the inside of the woven material.

What is Hydraulic Hose Burst Protection Sleeve made of? Our burst protection sleeve is made from high-quality nylon yarn.
