MIL-DTL-8794 – Hydraulic Fuel & Oil Hose
MIL-DTL-8794 covers rubber hoses designed for hydraulic fluids, fuels, and lubricating oils, making it one of the most critical specifications for aviation, marine, and military land vehicles. This MIL-SPEC ensures that hoses maintain consistent performance under fluctuating pressures and temperatures, particularly in hydraulic systems where precision and reliability are essential. These hoses must meet strict requirements for burst pressure, tensile strength, and flexibility, ensuring their ability to withstand intense operating conditions. They are commonly used in aircraft hydraulic systems, ship propulsion controls, and military ground vehicle hydraulics. The standard also mandates compatibility with petroleum-based fluids and synthetic hydraulic oils, reducing the risk of hose failure due to chemical degradation.
