Even if properly stored and under permissible
stress, hoses and hose connections are subject
to natural ageing. This limits their shelf life and
their utilization period.
Deviating from this, the utilization period can
also be determined on the basis of empirical
values, particularly under due consideration of
the endangering potential. For hoses and hose
lines made of thermoplastics other guide values
may be decisive.
The utilization period of hydraulic hoses
should not exceed six years, including a
possible storage time of maximum two years.
Depending on the conditions of use (e.g. weather
influences) or in case of higher strains on the ma -
chine the hoses may need to be replaced earlier.
