Steering hydraulic hoses are flexible tubes that transport hydraulic fluid between the steering pump and steering gear, enabling smooth power steering operation. They are designed to withstand high pressure and ensure precise control of vehicle direction. Proper maintenance of these hoses is crucial for safe and efficient steering system performance.

Steering Hydraulic Hoses:
Size: 1/4" to 1" ID (Inner Diameter)
Grade: SAE 100R1, 100R2, or 100R3
Viscosity: Compatible with ISO 32 to ISO 68 hydraulic fluids
Buoyancy: Neutral to slightly negative in water
Material: Nitrile rubber (NBR) inner tube, reinforced with steel wire braid or spiral, and covered with abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber.

Steering Systems:
Size: Varies by vehicle (typically 3/8" to 3/4" hose connections)
Grade: SAE J188, J189, or J1273 compliant
Viscosity: Optimal performance with ISO 32 to ISO 68 hydraulic fluids
Buoyancy: Not applicable (system components are non-buoyant)
Material: Aluminum, steel, or cast iron for housings; nitrile rubber seals; hardened steel gears or racks.

Steering Hydraulic Hoses and Steering Systems may comply with maritime standards such as ISO 10592, ISO 7840, or specific classification society requirements like those from ABS, DNV, or Lloyd's Register. Always verify with the manufacturer for exact compliance details.
