An R2 hydraulic hose (specifically SAE 100R2) is similar to an R1 hose but built for higher pressure applications. Here's how it stacks up:
🔧 SAE 100R2 Hydraulic Hose – Key Features:
Construction:
Tube: Oil-resistant synthetic rubber.
Reinforcement: Two layers of high-tensile steel wire braid (vs. one in R1).
Cover: Weather, abrasion, and oil-resistant synthetic rubber.
Applications:
Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems.
Used in industrial machinery, mining, and heavy equipment.
Pressure Ratings:
Higher than R1 – usually ranges from 2,000 to 6,000 psi (140 to 415 bar), depending on hose size.
Temperature Range:
Typically from -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F).
Hose Identification Example:
SAE 100R2AT 3/8' WP 4800 PSI (a 3/8 inch hose rated for 4800 psi).
