FAQ: Technical Glossary & Support Q&A
Expert Q&A – Oil Cooler Hose SAE J1532
1. What is the main material used in Oil Cooler Hose SAE J1532 and why?
NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) is the primary material, chosen for its best-in-class oil and fuel resistance, excellent mechanical strength, and resilience in both high and low temperature environments.
2. What are the typical size and ID/OD specifications?
Standard bore sizes range from 4mm to 25mm; OD varies by reinforcement and cover, typically with a ±0.2mm tolerance. Custom dimensions are available on request.
3. What certifications prove SAE J1532 hose quality?
Must comply with SAE J1532, ISO 1307, and relevant ISO 9001 or IATF/TS 16949 (for automotive). Each batch receives a test report (pressure, burst, and ozone/aging).
4. How is installation standardized?
Ends should be fitted according to SAE J516 (fitting) and ISO/TS 17165-2 (hose assembly practices). Ensure bend radius is respected to avoid kinking and premature wear.
5. What's the rated working temperature and pressure?
Continuous: -40°C to +125°C, intermittent to +150°C. Pressure: up to 15 bar (depending on diameter and cover reinforcement).
6. Service life and warranty?
Typical lifetime is 6-8 years in normal use; Kemohose grants a 24 months defect-free warranty with technical support.
7. Are the hoses compatible with all oils and fluids?
Compatible with mineral/synthetic ATFs, engine oils, most cooling fluids; not suitable for strong oxidizers or fuels with >15% aromatic content unless tested by Kemohose lab.
