Q

If the numerical designation indicated on the outside of a hydraulic hose is BXP-10, the "dash size" 10 indicates that the inside diameter of the hose is _______.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Dash size system for hydraulic hoses (each dash = a specific fraction of an inch) • Relationship between dash number and inside diameter (ID) of the hose • Converting between sixteenths of an inch and common fractional inch sizes (like 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, etc.)

💭 Think About

• How is a dash size (like -10) normally defined in terms of a basic unit of measurement (for example, sixteenths of an inch)? • If dash size is based on sixteenths of an inch, what is the diameter in inches for dash 10? • Once you get the decimal or fractional inch value, which of the choices matches it exactly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm how many sixteenths of an inch correspond to dash size 10 • Convert that number of sixteenths into the simplest fraction of an inch • Match that simplified fraction carefully to the listed answers, watching for near but incorrect fractions (like 5/8 vs 3/4)
