Reading the HOSE

The writings that ussually spotted in the hydraulic hose consist of :
- the brand
- the hose size (3/16" - 2")
- WP (Working Pressure in bar/Psi) : this is the limit for the hydraulic system pressure in the machine so when selecting the hose, we have to know the exact pressure of the machine.
- hose application (R1, R2, R5, R6, R7, R12, R13, 4SP, 4SH, LOC, Teflon)
