SAE 100 R13 Hydraulic Hose
SAE 100 R13 hoses are engineered with an oil-resistant synthetic rubber inner tube, four or six layers of high tensile steel wire spirals, and a durable synthetic rubber outer cover that resists abrasion, weather, and oil. These hoses meet or exceed SAE J517 Type R13 and ISO 3862 specifications, making them suitable for the toughest applications, including mobile equipment, industrial hydraulic presses, mining, and construction machinery.

FAQs
SAE 100 R13 hoses are designed for the most demanding hydraulic applications that require high working pressure, high impulse performance, and excellent flexibility. Common uses include mining, offshore drilling, heavy mobile equipment, and industrial hydraulic presses.
R13 hoses generally offer higher pressure ratings, better flexibility, and longer impulse life compared to R12 hoses. This is due to additional layers of spiral steel reinforcement and updated construction design, making them suitable for modern high-efficiency hydraulic systems.
R13 hoses are compatible with petroleum-based hydraulic oils, water-glycol fluids, oil-water emulsions, and certain biodegradable hydraulic fluids. Always check the compatibility of the fluid with the hose’s tube material before use.
Yes. Our factory provides OEM customization services including private branding, custom lengths, special covers (abrasion-resistant, flame-retardant), and pre-assembled hose assemblies to meet specific application needs.
R13 hoses meet or exceed SAE J517 Type R13 and ISO 3862 standards, which guarantee the required pressure ratings, impulse life, and safety factor for ultra-high pressure hydraulic applications.
