IT'S FLUID CONDUCTOR CONTROL THAT COUNTS

Abstract

WHETHER it delivers lubricant to working surfaces or conveys a column of fluid transmitting mechanical thrust, a flexible hose unit becomes a potential weak link if its performance falls short in any way of that of the remainder of the installation of which it is an integral part. A weak oil seal not up to its job impairs the fluid conductor systems. That much might seem obvious but, with increasing application of hydraulics in industry, and with heat and pressure conditions far more severe now than a couple of decades ago, new standards of reliability in fluid conductors and seals have become mandatory.
