When working with hydraulics there is always a risk of hose leakage. This issue generates direct costs such as the oil lost to hose leaks, but also indirect safety risk costs, such as slip hazards, failed fittings under pressure and injection injuries. Leaking fittings can also affect machine performance, especially in clamping and load holding applications. In order to prevent hose leakage, there are four key factors that must be performed correctly.
