What is SAE standards?



Hydraulic hose construction and performance is covered by various national and international standards including ISO, BSI, SAE, DIN, API and CETOP. Most proprietary hoses conform to one standard or another, the SAE standards being the most widely followed. SAE standards provides general, dimensional and performance specifications for the most common hoses used in hydraulic systems on mobile and stationary equipment.

SAE is based on construction technique and material of hydraulic hose. The various application parameters required when selecting hose are size, temperature, fluid type and pressure, to name a few. Depending on these criteria, the choice of hose construction will change to suit the conditions. The majority of hydraulic machines are not exotic, and typically your standard 100R1 or 100R2 ("1-wire" and "2-wire" respectively) hoses are appropriate. When extreme pressures and exotic fluids come into play, however, the options for suitable hose are reduced.

Each of the hydraulic hose styles below must meet a set of dimensional and performance characteristics as set forth by SAE, and they are designated as 100R1 through 100R19.  However, SAE issues no approval source lists, certification, or letters of approval-conformance to these standards by manufacturers is strictly voluntary. In short, the standards only assure a similarity of products among different manufacturers.
