Inner Tube
The inner tube carries hydraulic fluid and must be chemically compatible with the oil or other media used in the system. Selecting an incompatible inner tube material can result in swelling, cracking, leakage or early hose failure.

Hydraulic Hoses Supplier in Chennai
Hydrofit Engineers supplies a comprehensive range of hydraulic hoses in Chennai for industrial machinery, construction equipment, agricultural machines, material handling systems and mobile hydraulic applications. Our range includes textile reinforced hoses, wire braided hoses, spiral hoses, constant working pressure hoses and hoses designed for demanding hydraulic operations.
With more than 30 years of experience in hydraulic and pneumatic products, we understand that hose selection is not simply based on pressure. The correct hose must match the hydraulic fluid, operating temperature, hose diameter, working pressure, movement, bend requirement and end connection.
Our team supports customers in identifying a suitable hose according to their actual operating conditions. We serve customers in Chennai and supply hydraulic products to industrial locations across India.
Hydraulic Hose Range Available
Hydrofit Engineers supplies hydraulic hoses across four main pressure categories. Each category is designed for different operating conditions, machinery and pressure requirements. The final hose must always be selected according to its size, rated working pressure, hydraulic fluid, temperature and application.
Low Pressure Hydraulic Hoses
Low pressure hydraulic hoses are commonly used in return lines, lubrication systems and low pressure fluid transfer applications. Their lightweight construction and flexibility make them suitable for installations where the hose needs to move through restricted spaces or around machine components.
The available range includes:
Textile Reinforced Hydraulic Hoses
Flexible Return Line Hoses
These hoses are commonly used in agricultural machinery, industrial equipment, material handling systems and general hydraulic return lines. The actual working pressure depends on the hose size and the technical specifications provided by the manufacturer.
Medium Pressure Hydraulic Hoses
Medium pressure hydraulic hoses provide a practical balance between flexibility, durability and pressure resistance. They are generally reinforced with one or two layers of high tensile steel wire braid, depending on the hose standard and application.
The available range includes:
Single Wire Braided Hydraulic Hoses
Double Wire Braided Hydraulic Hoses
Compact Hydraulic Hoses
These hoses are widely used in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, forklifts, hydraulic tools and mobile hydraulic systems. Selection should be based on the required hose diameter, system pressure, operating temperature, fluid compatibility and installation conditions.
High Pressure Hydraulic Hoses
High pressure hydraulic hoses are designed for demanding hydraulic systems where the hose must withstand higher working pressure, pressure impulses and continuous equipment movement. These hoses commonly use multiple layers of high tensile steel wire reinforcement.
The available range includes:
High pressure hoses are commonly required in construction machinery, earthmoving equipment, mining machinery, hydraulic presses, injection moulding machines and other heavy industrial systems.
The number and arrangement of reinforcement layers affect the hose’s pressure capability and flexibility. The required hose should always be matched with compatible hydraulic hose fittings and the correct assembly specification.
Very High Pressure Hydraulic Hoses
Very high pressure hydraulic hoses are intended for specialised applications where standard hydraulic hoses may not provide the required pressure capability or safety level. These hoses require carefully selected fittings, controlled assembly methods and strict compliance with the applicable technical specifications.
The available range includes:
Hydraulic Jack Hose
Water Blast Hose 30
Water Blast Hose 40
Water Blast Hose 45
Water Blast Hose 50
Specialised Very High Pressure Hoses
These hoses may be used in hydraulic jacking equipment, high pressure cleaning systems, water blasting equipment, pressure testing and specialised industrial operations.
Very high pressure hoses should never be selected only according to a general pressure category. The exact working pressure, burst pressure, hose diameter, temperature limit, bend radius and compatible end connections must be confirmed from the product datasheet before installation.
How a Hydraulic Hose Is Constructed
A hydraulic hose is an engineered fluid transfer component made from three principal layers.
Reinforcement Layer
Textile braid, steel wire braid or spiral wire reinforcement gives the hose its pressure carrying strength. The type and number of reinforcement layers depend on the hose standard, pressure requirement and operating conditions.
Outer Cover
The external cover protects the reinforcement against abrasion, oil, moisture, weather and other operating conditions. Special covers may be required when the hose is exposed to severe abrasion, heat, chemicals or outdoor environments.
The performance of a hose depends on its complete construction. A hose should therefore not be selected only by its outside appearance or nominal diameter.
How We Help Customers Select the Correct Hose
Before recommending a hydraulic hose, the following information should be considered.
Hose Size
The internal diameter must support the required fluid flow without creating excessive fluid velocity, heat or pressure loss. A hose that is too small can affect the efficiency of the complete hydraulic system.
Working Pressure
The rated working pressure of the hose must be equal to or greater than the maximum system pressure. Pressure peaks, shock loads and impulse conditions must also be considered during selection.
Working pressure and burst pressure are different values. A hose must always be selected according to its rated working pressure and not its burst pressure.
Operating Temperature
Both hydraulic fluid temperature and surrounding temperature can affect hose performance. Continuous exposure to temperatures outside the recommended range may damage the inner tube, reinforcement or outer cover.
Fluid Compatibility
The hose inner tube must be compatible with hydraulic oil, water based fluid, synthetic fluid or any other media passing through it. The outer cover should also be suitable for the surrounding operating environment.
Application Conditions
Machinery movement, vibration, abrasion, exposure, pressure impulses and hose routing influence the required hose construction. The application should be studied before choosing between textile reinforced, wire braided or spiral hoses.
End Connections
The hose must be matched with the correct hydraulic hose fittings, thread type and sealing arrangement. The fitting material and pressure rating must also be compatible with the hose and application.
Bend Radius
Installing a hose below its recommended bend radius can damage the reinforcement and reduce service life. Proper routing helps prevent twisting, stretching and unnecessary contact with machine components.
This application based approach helps reduce leakage, premature hose failure, pressure loss and unexpected equipment downtime.
Hydraulic Hose Assemblies and Fittings
A reliable hydraulic connection depends on the compatibility of the hose, fitting and assembly method. Even a correctly selected hose can fail if the fitting is unsuitable or the crimping specification is incorrect.
Hydrofit Engineers also supports requirements for hydraulic hose assemblies, ferrules and hose fittings for different industrial connections. Customers can share the required hose length, pressure, port type, thread standard, fitting orientation and application details for product selection.
The assembly should be prepared according to the hose and fitting manufacturer’s specified crimping data. Randomly combining incompatible hose and fitting systems should be avoided.
