Abstract

The present study investigates the effect of thermostatic subzero (−65°F) and high ambient temperature (+275°F) on the hose performance when tested at a flexing frequency of 70 CPM with an amplitude of ±3.5 inches. The investigation was carried out through hose tear down analysis which includes surface and subsurface deformations at crimp zone, wire braid analysis, over the crimp silicon crack propagation, and microhardness measurements. It was observed that the flexing mechanism of hose when combined with thermostatic subzero and high ambient temperature, it contributes to different deformation mechanisms for the hose and the fitting juncture.
