Can EN 853 2SN S Hydraulic Hose with Double Steel Braid be used for air applications above 17 bar without micro-perforating the outer layer?

Yes. EN 853 2SN S Hydraulic Hose with Double Steel Braid can be used for air applications above 17 bar only if the outer layer is micro-perforated. According to the product description, for air and water applications the maximum operating temperature is +70°C, and for air pressures exceeding 17 bar the hose requires micro-perforation of the outer layer to ensure safe use and prevent micro-perforation damage during operation. Without this modification, using the hose for air above 17 bar is not recommended.

Can EN 853 2SN S Hydraulic Hose with Double Steel Braid be used for water applications above +70°C?

No. EN 853 2SN S Hydraulic Hose with Double Steel Braid should not be used for water applications above +70°C. The hose’s specified maximum operating temperature for water and air applications is +70°C; although the hose’s general temperature rating is -40°C to +100°C (short-term to +120°C), the manufacturer explicitly limits water/air use to +70°C to ensure safety and performance. Using it for water above +70°C could compromise materials, reduce service life, and risk failure.
