Power management company Eaton introduced the ICE CHAMPION EC810 hose for extreme low temperature applications. This spiral wire reinforced hydraulic hose withstands temperatures as low as -57°C and pressures as high as 420 bar making it particularly well-suited for use in high pressure hydraulic circuits operating in polar climates.
The hose has a Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) approved rugged abrasion-resistant cover, a feature that further enhances its suitability for extreme-duty applications on construction and forestry equipment, oil and gas rigs, mining equipment, and other high pressure applications in frigid environments.
EC810 working temperatures range from -57°C to +100°C to ensure a long operating life in demanding applications. Available in sizes -6 to -16 (4-wire) and -20 to -32 (6-wire), the hose has a maximum working pressure of 420 bar in sizes -6 to -24 and 350 bar for the -32 size. It is also approved for use with Eaton’s ‘1W’ series internal skive fitting and a one-piece non-skive fitting for sizes -12 to -32.
