Description
Cat hoses are designed to route liquids and gases through machine systems. These hoses are made of quality materials built to withstand the application-specific pressure, vibration resistance and flow requirements of Cat heavy-duty equipment. Cat hydraulic hoses and connectors are tested using some of the most rigorous processes in the industry. Every Cat hose and connector combination is tested as a system to ensure a perfect fit, maximizing safety and reliability.
The Cat XT ES hose family is designed and manufactured by Caterpillar for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Pressure ratings range from 2500 to 6000 psi (17.5 to 42.0 MPa). The ES (Enhanced Spiral) construction is a Caterpillar proprietary design that is impulse tested to twice the industry standard. Cat hose has a working radius of only half the SAE bend radius, allowing tighter routing in a wide range of applications.
Cat ToughGuard™ hose features an abrasion-resistant cover for use in extremely harsh operating conditions. Tested to more than 2000,000 SAE abrasion cycles, it offers outstanding resistance to the leading cause of hose failure – abrasion.
The hose is constructed with fabric reinforcement; four layers of spiral-wrapped high-tensile steel wire reinforcement, separated by layers of synthetic rubber. Oil-, weather- and abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber cover.
Specifications
| Hose Warning | Improper selection of hose and coupling combinations will void the warranty and may result in serious personal injury or death, property damage, or failure of components and machine systems. Cat® hose assembly products are designed and tested as a system to provide reliable connections that maximize hydraulic system safety and reliability. In addition, properly maintained, appropriate Caterpillar tooling is recommended to ensure hoses are crimped to technical specifications. Using Caterpillar hose with another manufacturer's couplings, or Caterpillar couplings with another manufacturer's hose, may result in unreliable, unsafe, or poorly performing hose assemblies. Caterpillar does not recommend or authorize this practice. For more information, refer to SAE J1273 Section 6.3 and ISO 17165-2 Section 6.3. |
