Is the R18 CPLT Synthetic Braided Thermoplastic Hose suitable for use with both hydraulic oil and water-based fluids at low temperatures?

Yes. The R18 CPLT Synthetic Braided Thermoplastic Hose is suitable for both hydraulic oil and water-based fluids at low temperatures. It’s engineered for demanding hydraulic oil systems and compatible with water-based fluids, and is rated to operate reliably down to −55°C. Note the specified maximum temperature differs for fluids: general range is −55°C to +100°C, but for water and air the upper limit is +70°C. The hose meets SAE 100R18 and ISO 3949-R18 standards, features a polyester inner layer with one or two synthetic braids for reinforcement, and a micro-perforated polyurethane cover for abrasion and environmental resistance, providing strength and durability in cold conditions.

Can the R18 CPLT Synthetic Braided Thermoplastic Hose be safely used for transferring fuels and gases at pressures up to 210 bar across its full temperature range?

R18 CPLT Synthetic Braided Thermoplastic Hose Format can be used for transferring fuels and gases at pressures up to its rated working pressure of 210 bar across the specified temperature range, subject to application limits noted in the description. The hose is certified to SAE 100R18 and ISO 3949-R18, constructed with a polyester inner layer and one or two synthetic braids for strength, and is explicitly stated as suitable for gases, air, fuels, and water-based fluids. Its working pressure is 210 bar and its operating temperature range is −55°C to +100°C (with a lower maximum of +70°C for water and air). However, safe use requires matching the hose’s media compatibility, pressure rating, and temperature limits to your specific fuel or gas, including transient pressure spikes, chemical compatibility, dynamic flexing, abrasion, fittings/assembly method, and applicable safety factors or regulations. For water and air note the +70°C limit. If in doubt for a particular fuel, gas, or extreme duty cycle, consult the manufacturer’s detailed specifications and a qualified engineer.
