SAE 100 R2 AT Hydraulic Hose Supplier in the UAE
Two steel wire braids to SAE 100 R2 AT, in nine bores. The workhorse high-pressure grade: roughly double the working pressure of R1 at the same bore.
What a sae 100 r2 at hose is
SAE 100 R2 AT is a hydraulic hose specification from the SAE J517 family. This grade uses two braids of steel wire, which is what sets its pressure range and its flexibility.
It is the workhorse high-pressure braided grade, specified wherever a single-braid hose does not have the margin and a spiral hose would be unnecessarily stiff and expensive.
Working pressure changes with bore, from 80 to 400 BAR across the range. Read the figure from the row for your bore in the table above.

Where SAE 100 R2 AT sits in the range
R2 carries two wire braids against R1's one, at roughly double the working pressure for the same bore. Below them, R3 and R6 are textile-braided for low-pressure and return lines. Above them, the four-spiral EN 856 hose is the high-pressure option.
Working pressure changes with bore on every grade in this family, so read the figure from the row for the size you are specifying rather than from a headline number. The table above gives every bore individually for exactly that reason.
Couplings and fittings
Terminate with crimped fittings sized to the hose and fitting series. Match the fitting to the grade as well as the bore — a fitting crimped to the wrong wall thickness is the most common cause of a hydraulic joint letting go.
Tell us the bore, the fitting standard you work to and the assembly length, and we supply the hose made up and pressure tested.
What this hose is not for
Published because the wrong hose is a failure in service, not an inconvenience. If your duty is in this list, say so and we will route you to the right product or tell you plainly that we do not have it.
Working pressure varies by bore.
Never design from a single figure for the grade. Use the row for your bore in the table above.
Petroleum-based hydraulic fluids.
That is what the catalogue states. Fire-resistant fluids such as water glycol or phosphate ester attack some compounds — tell us the actual fluid before ordering.
Minimum bend radius is not published here.
The catalogue prints no bend radius for this grade, so we publish none. Ask before committing to a tight route.
Not an air, steam or chemical hose.
An oil-resistant hydraulic tube is not a substitute for a hose designed for those media.
Use in the United Arab Emirates
The UAE buys hose through two different doors. Dubai and Jebel Ali are a distribution hub, where stock on a shelf in a free zone competes with a factory in India. Abu Dhabi is heavy industry: downstream refining at Ruwais is among the largest single-site refining complexes anywhere, and Musaffah is a working industrial district of machining, offshore fabrication and shipyards with a long private waterfront. Steam and blast hose consumption follows the second, while purchasing often happens through the first.
Hydraulic hose demand in the UAE follows plant maintenance: earthmoving and crane fleets, port equipment, workshops and industrial machinery across the emirates.
Downstream refining
Steam tracing and cleaning duty on the Ruwais refining and petrochemical complex.
Shipyards and offshore
Hull and structure blasting at the Musaffah yards and the Dubai maritime cluster.
Metals and smelting
Surface preparation and plant steam across the Abu Dhabi industrial zones.
Oil and gas fabrication
Pipe and vessel blasting in the fabrication yards serving offshore work.
Free-zone distribution
Coil stock into Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port for onward regional supply.
Construction and cement
Structural blasting and steam service in the Northern Emirates industrial belt.
Shipping to the UAE
We ship from Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and Mundra on FOB, CIF and CFR terms. Transit below is time from sailing, not from order — add production time, which we confirm on the quotation.
- Jebel Ali, Dubaiex Nhava Sheva. 4 to 10 days ex Mundra4 to 8 days
- Khor Fakkan3 to 9 days
- Khalifa Port, Abu Dhabi4 to 10 days
These ranges are working figures for planning. They are confirmed against the sailing schedule at the time of quotation.
We also ship to Port Khalid, Sharjah, Port of Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah. We do not publish a transit range for those lanes because we do not have a figure we can stand behind, so transit is confirmed at the time of quotation.
Documents and conformity
Stated plainly rather than implied, because this is what most export enquiries actually turn on.
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Certificate of origin
- Bill of lading
- Test certificates
What we do and do not certify
UAE conformity requirements are administered by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology. ECAS and EQM apply to product categories on the regulated list, and industrial rubber hose was not among the categories in the guidance we have seen. Confirm your own position with your customs broker rather than relying on this page. We supply the consignment document set below and batch test reports; we hold no UAE conformity certificate and do not claim one.
Getting a quotation for the UAE
Send the duty, not just the part number
Bore, working pressure at the hose, medium and temperature. Those four decide the grade.
Name the delivery port
Jebel Ali, Dubai or whichever port you clear through. We quote FOB and CIF side by side so you can compare against a local stockist honestly.
Tell us the documentation you need
Batch test certificates or a specific certificate of origin format. Asking at quotation stage is free; asking after dispatch is not.
Questions about sae 100 r2 at hose in the UAE
What pressure does the sae 100 r2 at hose take?
Working pressure changes with bore, from 80 to 400 BAR across the range. Read the figure from the row for your bore in the table above.
What sizes are available?
9 sizes, from 1/4″ to 2″ (06.00 to 50.00 mm). Every size is listed individually in the specification table above, with the figures your fitting has to match.
What is the service temperature range?
−40 C to +100 C, as printed in the catalogue. We publish no figure outside that band, so if your duty runs hotter or colder, tell us before ordering rather than after.
Is it BIS certified?
This grade is built to the catalogue specification shown above (SAE 100 R2 AT). It carries no BIS licence and we do not describe it as certified, compliant or conforming.
Do you supply to the UAE?
Yes. We ship from Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and Mundra on FOB, CIF and CFR terms, with Jebel Ali, Dubai typically 4 to 8 days from sailing. Transit ranges for the other UAE lanes we serve are in the shipping section above.
What documents come with the shipment?
Commercial invoice, Packing list, Certificate of origin, Bill of lading, Test certificates. Conformity certification required by the UAE scheme sits with the importer of record; we hold no UAE conformity certificate and do not claim one.
Can you fit couplings before dispatch?
Yes. Tell us the bore, the fitting standard you work to and the assembly length, and we supply the hose made up rather than loose. Size the fitting to the hose's outside diameter, which is published for every bore above.
What is the HS code?
We do not publish one, because classification is the importer's declaration and an error at your border is your cost rather than ours. Our export desk states the code we invoice under on the quotation so your broker can confirm it against the current UAE tariff schedule.
What length is supplied?
The catalogue prints no standard coil or cut length for this grade, so we publish none rather than invent one. Tell us the length you need and we will confirm what the works can supply.
How do I get a quotation?
Send the bore, quantity, fitting requirement and delivery port. WhatsApp is the fastest route. A quotation with an FOB and a CIF figure and a transit range for your port comes back the same working day in most cases.
What is SAE 100 R2 AT used for?
It is the workhorse high-pressure braided grade, specified wherever a single-braid hose does not have the margin and a spiral hose would be unnecessarily stiff and expensive. It is supplied for petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, in the bores listed in the specification table above.
What is the working pressure of SAE 100 R2 AT?
It depends on the bore — the figure falls as bore increases, and the table above gives every size individually. We do not publish a single headline pressure for the grade because it would be wrong for most bores.
How does it compare with the other grades?
R2 carries two wire braids against R1's one, at roughly double the working pressure for the same bore. Below them, R3 and R6 are textile-braided for low-pressure and return lines. Above them, the four-spiral EN 856 hose is the high-pressure option.
Can you supply SAE 100 R2 AT assemblies with fittings?
Yes, crimped and pressure tested before dispatch. Send the bore, the fitting standard and the assembly length. We ship to the UAE from Nhava Sheva and Mundra.
