What Is SAE 100 R2 Hydraulic Hose?
The SAE 100 R2 hydraulic hose — also written as SAE 100R2 or R2 AT hose — is a double steel wire braid, high-pressure hydraulic hose manufactured to the SAE J517 / SAE 100 R2 AT standard. It is the go-to specification for high-pressure hydraulic circuits in India: hydraulic presses, cranes, injection moulding machines, construction equipment operating above 150 bar, and industrial systems where the single-braid R1 is insufficient. The "AT" designation indicates an abrasion-resistant outer cover.
The Flexihose R2 hose pipe construction uses a black oil-resistant NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) inner tube, two braids of high-tensile brass-coated steel wire reinforcement, and a weather-resistant, abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber outer cover. Brochure data covers 1/4″ to 2″ nominal bore, working pressures from 35 bar (2″ bore) to 400 bar (1/4″ bore), minimum burst pressure of 4× working pressure per SAE J517, and a service temperature range of −40°C to +100°C.

How to Select the Right SAE 100 R2 Hydraulic Hose — Procurement Guide
A practical step-by-step guide for procurement managers, plant engineers, OEM buyers, and hydraulic press manufacturers selecting SAE 100 R2 hose for their application.
Confirm System Working Pressure
SAE 100 R2 is rated from 35 bar (2″ bore) to 400 bar (1/4″ bore). If your system pressure is below 150 bar at 1″ bore, SAE 100 R1 (single wire braid) is sufficient and more cost-effective. If your system exceeds 400 bar at small bore, consider EN 856 4SP/4SH spiral hose. Always apply a safety factor — do not operate continuously at the maximum rated working pressure.
Select Bore Size by Flow Rate
1/4″–3/8″ for high-pressure pilot and control lines on presses and cranes. 1/2″–3/4″ for most high-pressure industrial and construction circuits. 1″–1-1/4″ for large-bore high-pressure power packs. 1-1/2″–2″ for heavy industrial OEM assemblies. Undersizing bore increases pressure drop and heat generation — always size for the required flow rate.
Verify Fluid Compatibility
The NBR inner tube is compatible with petroleum-based hydraulic oils (HLP, HM, HV grades), water-glycol mixtures, fuel, and lubricating oils. For phosphate ester fluids or water-based fire-resistant fluids, confirm inner tube compatibility before ordering. Not suitable for aromatic solvents or strong acids.
Check Temperature Range
The service range is −40°C to +100°C. For hydraulic systems with high-temperature oil return lines, heat-generating circuits, or outdoor operation in extreme cold (North India winters, high-altitude construction), confirm the actual operating temperature before specifying.
Specify Fitting Type and Assembly
SAE 100 R2 AT is dimensionally compliant with SAE J517 and accepts standard BSP, JIC (37° flare), and NPT fittings. Flexihose can supply cut lengths, 50m or 100m coil reels, or complete hose assemblies with crimped fittings to your specification. Specify end connection type (male/female, BSP/JIC, straight/elbow) when ordering.

SAE 100 R2 Hose Construction & Materials
Layer-by-layer construction of Flexihose SAE 100 R2 AT hydraulic hose — what each component does and why it matters for high-pressure hydraulic system reliability.
NBR Inner Tube
Black oil-resistant NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) synthetic rubber compound. Formulated to resist petroleum-based hydraulic oils (HLP, HM, HV grades), water-glycol mixtures, fuel, and lubricating oils. The inner tube is the primary fluid barrier — its integrity determines hose service life under continuous high-pressure cycling in press, crane, and industrial hydraulic systems.
Double Wire Braid Reinforcement
Two braids of high-tensile brass-coated steel wire. The double-braid construction is what distinguishes R2 from R1 — it nearly doubles the working pressure rating at equivalent bore sizes. The brass coating ensures strong adhesion between wire and rubber layers, preventing delamination under impulse pressure cycling. This construction delivers up to 400 bar at 1/4″ bore per SAE J517.
AT Outer Cover
The outer cover carries the AT (abrasion-resistant) designation — a weather-resistant, abrasion-resistant, ozone-resistant synthetic rubber compound rated −40°C to +100°C. Protects the double steel wire reinforcement from mechanical damage, UV exposure, and mild chemical splash in field conditions across Indian construction sites, industrial plants, and press shop environments.
In-House Testing & Certification
Every production batch is tested at our Bhiwadi in-house laboratory with NABL-calibrated equipment: hydrostatic burst pressure test (minimum 4× working pressure per SAE J517), impulse pressure cycling, dimensional checks, and outer cover adhesion tests. Test certificates with actual measured values are issued as standard with every order — not templated data.
SAE 100 R2 vs R1 vs EN 856 4SP — Which Hydraulic Hose to Choose?
Buyers often need to choose between R2, R1, and 4SP hydraulic hose. Here is a practical comparison to help with selection for Indian industrial, construction, and press applications.
| Parameter | SAE 100 R2 AT | SAE 100 R1 AT | EN 856 4SP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reinforcement | 2 × High-tensile steel wire braid | 1 × High-tensile steel wire braid | 4 × Spiral steel wire |
| Max WP at 1/4″ bore | 400 bar (5,800 PSI) | 215 bar (3,120 PSI) | 420 bar (6,090 PSI) |
| Max WP at 1″ bore | 165 bar (2,395 PSI) | 88 bar (1,275 PSI) | 350 bar (5,075 PSI) |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +100°C | −40°C to +100°C | −40°C to +100°C |
| Flexibility | Moderate | Good | Less flexible |
| Typical Use | Presses, cranes, high-pressure industrial circuits | Tractors, excavators, general industrial hydraulics | Very high-pressure circuits, mining, heavy industry |
| Relative Cost | Higher than R1 | Medium | Highest |
SAE 100 R2 is the correct choice when system pressure exceeds 150 bar at 1″ bore or when a higher safety margin is required over R1. For very high-pressure circuits above 400 bar, specify EN 856 4SP/4SH spiral hose. Not sure? WhatsApp your system pressure and bore size to +91 8094002348 for a recommendation.
