Low-temperature hydraulic hose for extreme cold environments
Eaton is introducing the ICE CHAMPION EC810 hose for extreme low-temperature applications. This spiral wire reinforced hydraulic hose withstands temperatures as low as -57degC (-70degF) and pressures as high as 420bar (6100psi), making it particularly well suited for use in high-pressure hydraulic circuits operating in polar climates.
Eaton's ICE CHAMPION EC810 hose has a Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)-approved rugged abrasion-resistant cover, a feature that further enhances its suitability for extreme-duty applications on construction and forestry equipment, oil and gas rigs, mining equipment, and other high-pressure applications in frigid environments.
EC810 working temperatures range from -57degC to +100degC (-70degF to +212degF) to ensure a long operating life in demanding applications. Available in sizes -6 to -16 (4-wire) and -20 to -32 (6-wire), the EC810 hose has a maximum working pressure of 420bar (6100 psi) in sizes -6 to -24 and 350bar (5100psi) for the -32 size. The ICE CHAMPION EC810 hose is also approved for use with Eaton's "1W' series internal skive fitting and a one-piece non-skive fitting for sizes -12 to -32.
