Hydraulic hoses are critical components in high-pressure hydraulic systems. A hose failure, fitting leak, or crimping problem can result in equipment downtime, hydraulic oil loss, safety risks, and unexpected maintenance costs.
Hidroman provides hydraulic hose pressure testing, leak testing, and test reporting services for industrial, mobile, construction, mining, and heavy-duty hydraulic applications.
Our testing approach is designed to verify the condition of hydraulic hose assemblies under controlled pressure and identify potential leaks or connection-related problems before the hose is returned to service.
For critical hydraulic systems, testing is an important part of quality control, preventive maintenance, and hose assembly verification.
Hydraulic hose testing is the controlled application of pressure to a hydraulic hose assembly to verify its pressure performance and identify potential leakage or connection problems.
Depending on the application and test procedure, testing can include:
The appropriate test pressure, hold time, and test method should always be determined according to the hose manufacturer's specifications, applicable standards, customer requirements, and the intended application.
Hydraulic systems can operate at very high pressures. A hydraulic hose assembly that appears visually acceptable may still have a problem with its crimp, fitting, hose connection, or assembly.
Pressure testing can help identify potential problems before the hose is installed or returned to operation.
Hydraulic hose testing can help:
For industrial and heavy-duty equipment, preventive testing can be an important part of a structured hydraulic maintenance program.
Hidroman's hydraulic hose testing process is performed using appropriate high-pressure test equipment and controlled testing procedures.
The hydraulic hose assembly is visually inspected before testing.
The inspection can include the hose condition, fittings, connections, crimp areas, and visible signs of damage or deformation.
The hose assembly is securely connected to the hydraulic test system using suitable test connections.
Pressure is gradually increased to the required test pressure.
The test pressure is determined according to the hose specifications and the applicable test procedure. The test should not exceed the limits specified for the hose assembly and test equipment.
During the test, the hose assembly and connection points are monitored for signs of leakage, deformation, or other abnormal conditions.
Particular attention can be given to the hose-to-fitting crimp area, where assembly-related problems may become visible under pressure.
When required, test results can be recorded and documented for quality control, maintenance, or customer records.
Hidroman offers high-pressure hydraulic hose testing solutions for applications requiring controlled pressure testing.
Our available testing equipment includes systems designed for different pressure ranges, including:
The required test pressure should always be selected according to the hose manufacturer's specifications and the applicable test procedure.
For high-pressure hydraulic applications, Hidroman offers the Seide OS1000 hydraulic hose test system, with a test capacity of 50–1,000 bar (approximately 725–14,500 psi).
The system is designed for controlled testing of high-pressure hydraulic hose assemblies and can be used for applications where conventional hydraulic hose test equipment does not provide sufficient pressure capacity.
For applications requiring higher test pressures, the Seide OS2200 provides testing capability up to 2,200 bar (approximately 31,900 psi).
Static leak testing is used to determine whether a hydraulic hose assembly maintains pressure without visible leakage during a defined test period.
Depending on the applicable test specification, the hose may be pressurized to a specified proof or test pressure and held for a defined period.
The actual pressure and hold time should not be assumed to be the same for every hose. They should be established based on:
This approach helps ensure that the test procedure is technically appropriate for the hose being tested.
A documented hydraulic hose test report can provide traceability for quality control and maintenance processes.
Depending on the testing requirements, a report may include:
Documented test results can be particularly useful for industrial plants, maintenance departments, hydraulic service companies, OEMs, and equipment manufacturers.
The crimp area is one of the critical points of a hydraulic hose assembly.
A hose may appear to be in good condition while the fitting or crimp connection has an assembly-related problem.
Incorrect crimp dimensions, unsuitable fittings, improper assembly, damaged components, or other connection issues may result in leakage when pressure is applied.
For this reason, hydraulic hose pressure testing should evaluate the complete hose assembly, rather than only the hose tube itself.
Hydroman can provide testing solutions for hydraulic hose assemblies used in a wide range of applications, including:
The actual test procedure depends on the technical characteristics and pressure rating of the hose assembly.
Hydraulic hose failures can cause unplanned equipment downtime and hydraulic fluid loss.
For critical equipment, incorporating hose inspection and appropriate pressure testing into a preventive maintenance program can help identify potential problems before they develop into operational failures.
A preventive approach may include:
Inspection → Pressure Testing → Leak Verification → Documentation → Preventive Replacement
Testing should be performed according to an established maintenance or quality-control procedure and should not replace visual inspection, hose condition assessment, or manufacturer recommendations.

What is hydraulic hose pressure testing?
Hydraulic hose pressure testing is a controlled procedure used to verify the integrity and leakage condition of a hydraulic hose assembly under a specified pressure.
How much pressure can a hydraulic hose be tested at?
The required test pressure depends on the hose specifications, working pressure, applicable test standard, and customer requirements. Hidroman offers test equipment with capacities ranging from 250 bar to 2,200 bar.
Can you test a hydraulic hose at 1,000 bar?
Yes. Hidroman offers the Seide OS1000 system with a test capacity of up to 1,000 bar, approximately 14,500 psi.
Can hydraulic hose assemblies be leak tested?
Yes. Hydraulic hose assemblies can be tested under controlled pressure to identify leakage at the hose, fitting, and crimp connection areas.
Do you provide hydraulic hose test reports?
Test results can be documented depending on the selected test system and service requirements.
How often should hydraulic hoses be pressure tested?
There is no single testing interval that applies to every hydraulic hose. The inspection and testing frequency should be established according to the hose manufacturer's recommendations, equipment requirements, applicable standards, and the operating environment.
Why should hydraulic hose assemblies be tested?
Pressure testing can help identify leakage and assembly-related problems that may not be visible during a simple visual inspection.
Hidroman provides hydraulic hose pressure testing, leak testing, high-pressure test equipment, and hydraulic testing solutions for industrial and heavy-duty applications.
