Hydraulic hoses are an important safety element in
modern machinery. However hose characteristics
under pressure, thermal heat and UV light over the
years deteriorate.
Therefore hoses are now identified with a date
printed on the hose or a band which enables age
identification.
Legislation in certain countries and good practices
require that the hydraulic hoses are replaced when 6
years old.
