• Hydraulic hoses are part of most hydraulic systems, from industrial hydraulics with open loop hydraulic systems to mobile hydraulics with closed loop hydraulic systems. The design parameters of hydraulic hoses may influence the duty cycle dynamics of these systems. One of the factors that influence the behavior of a hydraulic hose under pressure loading is the steel braid angle with respect to the hydraulic hose axis. This work aims to determine the effect of the hydraulic hose braid angle on the change in its geometry. The next objective is to determine the forces that occur at the hose ends under pressure loading. The stresses occur when fluid pressure is applied to the inner wall of the hydraulic hose. Consequently, these stresses are transferred to the hose ends through the steel braid or spiral. The phenomenon of the neutral braid angle provides a balance between the stresses generated inside the hydraulic hose. Therefore, hydraulic hose manufacturers try to produce hydraulic hoses with a neutral braid angle, because the lifetime of the hydraulic hose is also related to this. As part of this research work, an experimental device was constructed in order to measuring the properties of hydraulic hoses. When the hose was loaded with fluid pressure, the change in hose geometry was measured and the angle of the hose braid was measured simultaneously. Upon the measurements, the effect of the braid angle on the hose behavior under pressure loading was determined.
