Ölschläuche

Ölschläuche, also known as oil hoses, are flexible conduits designed for the safe and efficient transfer of petroleum-based fluids. These hoses are specifically engineered to withstand the chemical properties of oils and lubricants, preventing degradation and leaks that could occur with less specialized materials. The construction typically involves multiple layers. An inner tube, often made of synthetic rubber compounds like nitrile or neoprene, handles direct contact with the oil. This is reinforced by layers of textile braiding, wire helix, or steel wire for pressure resistance and structural integrity. The outer cover provides protection against abrasion, ozone, and environmental damage.

Common applications for Ölschläuche span various industries. In automotive settings, they are crucial for conveying engine oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Industrial machinery relies on them for hydraulic systems, lubrication lines, and fuel transfer. They are also found in agricultural equipment for hydraulic power and in marine applications for fuel and oil systems. The selection of an appropriate Ölschlauch depends on factors such as the type of oil, operating temperature, pressure requirements, and the environment in which the hose will be used. Manufacturers often specify compliance with relevant industry standards to ensure safety and performance.
