Externet Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi all. Does anyone know this new crap about hose sizes ? Trying to find 1/8 inch or 3mm i.d. hoses; found this. Have these geniuses never heard of the millimetre ? What entity governs dimensions and terminology ? ----> https://ph.parker.com/us/en/hydraulic-constant-working-pressure-hose-5000-psi-globalcore-787-hose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you want a -2 or 2/16. edit: Which I don't see on that page... ...and no idea but I know your pain. Ordering parts sucks for hoses and pipes.

OldChemE Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Yes-- frustrating-- but not without purpose. It facilitates part numbering. For example, 787ST-24 is a model 787 hose, super tough cover, 24/16 ID. Virtually every industry over the years has faced the issue of creating meaningful part numbers primarily intended to be intelligible to professionals in their industry. This is just one example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
