length considerations
For the following formulas:
L = Live length of hose (inches)
T = Travel (inches)
S = Hose outside diameter (see product data pages 9-18)
Verify that the installed radius is greater than the stated Minimum Bend Radius for
the hose at the required working pressure.
Verify that the centerline of the hose remains in the same plane during cycling to
prevent twisting the assembly.
CONSTANT RADIUS TRAVELING LOOP (A-Loop)
23
Formula: L = 4R + 1/2T
VARIABLE RADIUS TRAVELING LOOP (B-Loop)
Formula: L = 4R + 1.57T
