To read hydraulic hose numbers, start by identifying the hose's size, which is typically indicated by a dash number representing the hose's inner diameter in sixteenths of an inch (e.g., -08 for 1/2 inch). Next, check for the pressure rating, usually shown in PSI or bar, and the type of hose, which is often specified by a standard such as SAE or ISO. Additional information may include temperature range, fluid compatibility, and manufacturer details.
