High-Performance EN853 1SN Hydraulic Hose for Industrial Applications
1. Product Overview
Our EN853 1SN hydraulic hose is a premium-grade, single-wire braid reinforced flexible conduit designed for medium-pressure hydraulic systems in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured in strict compliance with the EN 853 Type 1SN international standard, this hose delivers reliable performance for transferring petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, water-glycol mixtures, and lubricating oils. With its robust construction and proven durability, the EN853 1SN series offers an optimal balance of pressure rating, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for B2B operations worldwide.
Each hose features a synthetic rubber inner tube, one high-tensile steel wire braid reinforcement, and a weather-resistant synthetic rubber cover. This design ensures exceptional resistance to abrasion, ozone, and aging, making it suitable for stationary and mobile hydraulic equipment across multiple sectors.
2. Key Features
- Single Wire Braid Construction: One layer of high-tensile steel wire provides superior burst strength while maintaining excellent flexibility for tight bends.
- EN 853 1SN Compliance: Fully certified to international standards, ensuring dimensional consistency and pressure ratings across global supply chains.
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F), suitable for extreme working conditions.
- Oil & Abrasion Resistance: The synthetic rubber cover resists petroleum-based fluids, UV exposure, and mechanical wear, extending service life in harsh environments.
- High Working Pressure: Rated for up to 250 bar (3,625 psi) depending on diameter, meeting medium-pressure system requirements.
- Minimal Fluid Permeation: Low permeability inner tube reduces fluid loss and maintains system integrity.
- Lightweight & Flexible: Reduced bend radius compared to two-wire braid hoses, simplifying installation in confined spaces.

7. FAQ
Q: What is the difference between EN853 1SN and SAE 100 R1AT?
A: While both are single-wire braid hoses, EN853 1SN has slightly tighter dimensional tolerances and more stringent impulse testing requirements. EN853 1SN is the European standard, whereas SAE 100 R1AT is the American equivalent. Our hoses meet both standards for universal compatibility.
Q: Can the EN853 1SN hose be used for water or air applications?
A: Yes, it is suitable for water-glycol mixtures, compressed air (up to 10 bar), and lubricating oils. However, for pure water or steam, we recommend specialized hoses with different tube compounds.
Q: What is the shelf life of this hose?
A: Under proper storage conditions (cool, dry, away from UV light), the EN853 1SN hose maintains its performance characteristics for up to 5 years from the manufacturing date.
Q: Do you offer hose assemblies with crimped fittings?
A: Absolutely. We supply both bulk hose and pre-assembled lengths with crimped or reusable fittings in carbon steel, stainless steel, or brass. Please provide your fitting specifications for a custom quote.
Q: How does the working pressure vary with diameter?
A: The EN853 1SN standard specifies decreasing working pressure as inner diameter increases. For example, a 1/4" (DN 6) hose is rated at 250 bar, while a 1" (DN 25) hose is rated at 85 bar. Refer to our full specification table for exact values.
Q: Is this hose compatible with synthetic ester hydraulic fluids?
A: The standard nitrile inner tube is not recommended for ester-based fluids. For such applications, we offer an EN853 1SN variant with an FKM (Viton) tube. Please contact our technical team for fluid compatibility guidance.
