I'm presently doin n Engineerin Degree n Portsmouth, I need help regards the use of flexible hoses on hydraulics n pneumatic systems! I've been asked2 mention any hose types for specialist applications, I was thinking along the line of mayb micro surgery, or micro machines etc. or mayb I should just keep it simple? Can anyone out there help? Kind regards John E

Name any hydraulic or pnuematic system, and 99.9% of those applications will have some sort of flexible hose.

As a side note, most engineering level courses I'm aware of require the proper use of the English language. I'm not trying to be rude, but it's something you should get into the habit of. If two engineering quotes are equal, the one with poorly applied English will lose the contract.

Hello Josh,
Thanks for that, your the second person today, (my instructor being the other), to mention my appalling us of the English language, I've simply got into a bad habit of using mobile text shorthand, I've stopped as off now!
Regards the project I cannot use anything already mentioned in any of the college handbooks, which makes things difficult because, its an Engineering college! I need a topic thats new/original, and something I can give a 15 lecture on that will keep my fellow classmates interest?
Kind regards, John Eagleson

You can try this site for some general info on hose from Eaton/Aeroquip.

Parker, Weatherhead nd Swagelok are others that might be helpful sites.

Try Googling for these other companies.

We use a special non-conductive hydraulic hose for some applications on an electric arc furnace. Paraflex if my memory serves me correctly-system pressure of 3000 psi on mineral oil-maybe this will help.
