Hydraulic piping provides transportation for fluid from one component to another. It can provide an inherent versatility to designers at times.
Hydraulic piping are often constructed of multiple materials. The most common materials are fluoropolymers and silicone, elastomers, metal, and thermoplastics. Composite or laminated materials are also common. Rubber and elastomeric hydraulic piping is a strong choice when you need flexibility.
Be strong enough to prevent pipework or fittings failing , as they usually become deadly missiles when they do.
Prevent leakage of the high-pressure hydraulic fluid from the system.
Compensate for component misalignments and movement during operation.
