MIL-DTL-52471 – High-Pressure Hydraulic Hose (Type 100R2)
MIL-DTL-52471 sets the standard for high-pressure hydraulic hoses, particularly those classified under Type 100R2. These hoses are widely used in heavy-duty hydraulic applications, such as military construction equipment, ship steering systems, and weapons control hydraulics. The specification requires hoses to be reinforced with two layers of high-tensile steel wire, providing exceptional strength for use in high-pressure hydraulic circuits. They must also demonstrate compatibility with petroleum-based and synthetic hydraulic fluids, ensuring optimal performance in mission-critical defense applications. Military-grade hydraulic hoses meeting MIL-DTL-52471 must pass rigorous testing for impulse resistance, flexibility, and temperature stability, ensuring they can operate in demanding field environments.
