Abrasive Wear When two surfaces move in opposite directions from one another, they can be subject to abrasive wear. The number of metal particles lost will depend on the types of metals, the quality of lubrication, speed, tolerances, amongst other factors. Abrasion happens when hard…
Sources of Contamination
Taking into consideration the sources, sizes, and quantity of contaminates when engineering a complex hydraulic system is essential. These factors can influence the size, micron rating, and location of filters Manufacturing & Maintenance Manufacturing and maintenance can introduce a large range of particles and solid…
4 Best Practice Tips When Installing & Routing Hydraulic Hose
Installing & routing hydraulic hoses within a circuit system is always a lot more than simply tightening the obvious connections. Hoses don’t last forever. But by observing some of HydPower’s best practice advice, you can help maximise their life and create more efficient systems in the…

Why You Should Clean Your New Hose Assemblies
Contaminates in hydraulic fluid is the most crucial factor affecting the reliability of hydraulic systems – with between 50% to 70% of all hydraulic system failures being attributed to contamination. Therefore, it is critical to keep all contaminants out of the system by thoroughly, cleaning…
The Importance of Hydraulic Hose Size
Hose size. Like most providers, HydPower use Dash Numbers as our method of measurement to identify the required hose and fitting size. The inner diameter (I.D) is actually in sixteenths of an inch. An example of this might be: -08 which is ½” ID hose….
