Testing Hydraulic Hose Lines
Hydraulic hose lines are essential components of machinery and systems. They therefore require extensive maintenance and should be professionally checked by authorized persons after initial commissioning and every 12 months. HİDROMAN deals with the programming, implementation and documentation of legally required visual and functional tests. This puts you at ease as the operator and increases the safety of your work equipment.
EXPERT INSPECTION FOR HYDRAULIC HOSE LINES
AS A SYSTEMS SUPPLIER IN FLUID TECHNOLOGY, Hidroman knows what to look out for when testing hydraulic hose lines and provides a comprehensive service for everything related to hose management through experienced and trained experts.
HİDROMAN guarantees safety according to regulations
Hydraulic hose lines are considered work equipment in accordance with the Industrial Safety and Health Directive (BetrSichV) and the EU Work Equipment Directive 2009/104/EG. In addition, hose lines are subjected to high loads in daily operation, such as dynamic pressure curves and pressure peaks. Therefore, hoses and connections should be checked regularly for functionality. Only flawless hose lines guarantee the safety of people, systems and machines. During testing, the relevant machinery directives of the DGUV and the Industrial Safety Regulation must be followed. HİDROMAN experts are familiar with all laws and regulations and perform each test in a legally compliant manner.

Hydraulic hose lines should be tested at regular intervals, but at least every 12 months, according to the relevant operational risk assessment. The test may only be performed by persons authorized to perform the test. HİDROMAN experts have these qualifications and will support you with the following measures:
Visual and functional tests
Check for changes that need to be checked
Repeated checks at regular intervals

OTHER SERVICES FOR HYDRAULIC HOSE LINES
For uninterrupted monitoring of test intervals and results, it is advantageous to have a separate code for each hydraulic hose line. With X-CODE, HİDROMAN offers a tried and tested solution for both initial recording and subsequent coding.
With its decades of experience, HİDROMAN supports customers in determining the basis for the correct creation of hazard reports. Of course, this also includes the risk assessment according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG.
As oil-contaminated equipment, hydraulic hoses pose a significant environmental hazard. Transport and recycling are therefore subject to strict legal requirements. HİDROMAN together with a certified waste company, including storage in tested collection containers and complete documentation
