This is a two day course covering the various theoretical and practical elements involved in working with hose and connectors. During the two days the candidate is trained to an assessed level of ability in working with hose and connectors.
• understanding how to correctly identify an end termination by following 8 steps
• use a range of measuring instruments and gauges in conjunction with tabulated data to positively identify a range of
• end terminations
• understand the main characteristics and geometry of the male and female end termination along with how it seals for a range
• of end terminations including; BSP, (60o cone ‘o’ ring and non ‘o’ ring, elastomeric and metal to metal sealing), BSPT, JIC,
• SAE 45o flare, flange, ORFS, Metric, (light and heavy), Metric port / stud end, French GAZ, NPT / NPTF, BSP – Japanese,
• SAE port / stud end, Metric – Komatsu and staple type connectors
• discuss the various positive and negative features, (both technical and commercial) for each end termination
• understand the production equipment and their associated requirements for the successful production of quality hose
• assemblies
• understand the test and inspection requirements for hose assembly production equipment
• work through the theoretical and practical aspects of manufacturing hydraulic hose assemblies using a combination of verbal
• and written instructions
• coupling selection
• the industry standard method of measuring hose assembly lengths
• selecting and cutting the hose to length – the importance of a good, clean cut
• skiving – internally and externally
• contamination control, (covered more in-depth in Chapter 3)
• preassembly of one piece and two piece couplings, pros and cons of each coupling type
• angular orientation and hose bias when the hose assembly has two angled connectors
• crimping / swaging. Covering all aspects from correct die selection, machine setting, correct positioning of the hose assembly
• within the machine, measuring the crimp diameter, reducing the crimp diameter if necessary and ensuring that the operation
• has been completed correctly
• pressure testing of hose assemblies – ratios based on working pressure and application
• cleaning and protecting of hose assemblies prior to supplying to the customer
• pressure testing of hydraulic hose assemblies
