Automotive Industry:
Hydraulic pipes, also known as hydraulic tubes or hoses, are used in the automotive industry to transmit hydraulic fluid to different parts of a vehicle. This fluid creates pressure that powers the vehicle's components, such as the brakes, steering, and suspension.
- Air craft
- All types of Cars
- Truck and Towable vehicles
Uses of hydraulic pipes in the automotive industry:
- Brakes:
Hydraulic brake systems use brake fluid to transfer pressure from the brake pedal to the brake calipers, which stops the vehicle.
- Steering:
Power steering systems use hydraulic fluid to make steering easier and more responsive.
- Suspension:
Hydraulic dampers in suspension systems control the vertical displacement of the wheels, improving the vehicle's comfort, safety, and control.
- Gears:
Gearboxes have been hydraulically operated since the early 1940s. Hydraulic pipe materials
- Steel:
A commonly used material for hydraulic pipes because it's strong and durable.
- Stainless steel:
Preferred for hydraulic systems in corrosive environments because it's resistant to rust.
- Cold-drawn tubes:
Used in power steering lines because they can withstand high pressures and resist corrosion.
