A company that chooses the wrong hose can meet with disaster resulting in added maintenance, decreased safety, and equipment failure. What are the primary characteristics you look for in a hydraulic hose? Over the last 3 months, Triad ParkerStores have been participating in a GlobalCore Football Fever promotion. This inaugural campaign has customers happily discussing their hydraulic applications and their past “dirty hose” experiences with Triad representatives. While people cite a long list of explanations for choosing Parker GlobalCore hoses, we’ve narrowed it down to the Top 5 reasons.

Avoiding hose failure and the "dirty" hose scenario
When it comes to hydraulic hoses, there are many choices in the marketplace. Sometimes too many. Are you experiencing hose failures? Typical failures result from:
-
Incorrect operating pressure
One of the biggest reason for hose failure occurs when the maximum operating pressure of the hose does not meet the application requirements. In markets such as mobile equipment or oil and gas, hoses need to handle extremely rugged conditions, which means they need to consistently perform under high pressures (and temperatures). Every hose has an ideal working pressure and if this is constantly exceeded, the hose life will be substantially shortened.
-
Temperature extremes
Performance degrades and assemblies fail when the hose operates under excessively high or low operating temperatures. The harsh environment degrades the rubber turning it hard and brittle.
-
Incorrect fittings
Improper fittings also cause significant issues including reduced performance and efficiency due to leakage, as well as equipment downtime due to the fitting blowing right off the hose.
When you consider the range of factors for selecting your hose including size, temperature, application, materials, installation hose ends (fittings and couplings), it is easy to get overwhelmed by the selection process.
Simplifying hose selection and staying tough under pressure
Responding to OEM and MRO requests for an easier way to build their hose assemblies, Parker designed GlobalCore, consisting of five hydraulic hoses and two fittings series. GlobalCore significantly reduces engineering and service complexity. It provides the first comprehensive hose and fitting system that encompasses the most common constant working pressure classes.
With only five hoses, customers can quickly select the ideal hose based on working pressure. Then, they can easily select the fitting with a choice between Parker’s versatile 43 Series or the high pressure 77 Series. And at half the bend radius of conventional hose, GlobalCore makes installation and routing much easier.
Parker’s tested design provides customers worldwide with durability, ease of use, performance and support, simplifying their hose inventory to one product and one supplier.
GlobalCore is an ideal replacement for hoses of all competitive brands, meets ISO 18752 standards and is available globally at 3,000 psi to 6,000 psi in sizes -4 through -32.
