RECOMMENDED FREQUENCIES OF INSPECTION

EXTERNAL INSPECTION

• Damage to the outer cover (abrasion, incorrect routing).

• Exposed reinforcing wires (damaged outer cover).

• Kinked, crushed, or twisted hose (high tensile loading, incorrect routing).

• Reduction in the outside diameter of the hose (high tensile loading with no pressure).

• Blistered, soft, degraded, or loose outer cover (chemical attack, leaking fitting, permeation or high temperature).

• Cracked, damaged, or badly corroded fittings (chemical attack, poor handling, old hose assembly).

• Damage or wear on fitting threads (poor handling, old hose assembly).

• Condition of containment grips / clamps. (abrasion, frayed wires, distortion).

INTERNAL INSPECTION

• Check for damage to bore of fittings, cracks, severe abrasion and corrosion.

• Check for damages, bulges, cracks and blisters of core tube at the back of fittings (critical area).

• Scope maximum length of the core tube possible. Recommended minimum is 10 m both sides.

• Hose assemblies shorter than 20 m should be scoped on the complete length.

RETERMINATION

We provide expert retermination services for hose replacements. If it's concluded that either end of your hose requires replacement, our team is here to assist you with the necessary solutions.

HYDROSTATIC TESTING

Hydrostatic pressure testing is conducted per Parker PFDE-ES28 and will vary depending on the type of repair or recertification conducted. The hose and fittings are closely monitored during testing for signs of leakage, bulging, twisting, or any abnormal distortion. Before every pressure test, all air is purged from the hose to prevent core tube failure. A steady, constant fluid flow for at least 5 minutes, free of air bubbles or pulsations, confirms that all air has been removed.

INSPECTION REPORT

Our testing facility offers a comprehensive evaluation of both the hose and its end connections. Our detailed report includes inspection findings, MTRs, hydrostatic test charts, and recommended actions such as repair or scrapping.

PARKER TRACKING SYSTEM

Parker Tracking Systems provides a powerful solution for managing fluid power assets through real-time tracking of equipment, hoses, and fittings. Utilizing QR codes and RFID tags, it streamlines maintenance, enhances safety, and reduces downtime, helping businesses maximize efficiency and extend asset lifespan.
