PURPOSE OF THE TEST
To simulate the failure of a hydraulic hose at high pressure and to demonstrate the protection offered by the protective sleeving against damage from a burst or pin hole. The protective sleeving is designed to prevent damage caused by the failure and to safely dissipate the kinetic energy of the hydraulic fluid in a controlled manner.
Webbing Products utilise two high pressure tests, burst and pin hole, to support the quality of their protective sleeving.
