🔍 Key Concepts

• Construction of a flexible hydraulic hose (inner tube, reinforcement, cover) • Role of the reinforcement layer in withstanding internal pressure • Difference between seal material and strength member in a hose

💭 Think About

• Which part of the hose actually resists the high internal pressure trying to burst the hose? • Which components are mainly for sealing the fluid or protecting from outside damage rather than carrying the load? • If the hose were pressurized until near failure, which layer would you expect to be doing most of the work?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes the reinforcing/structural element of the hose • Separate in your mind: parts that contain fluid and provide sealing vs. parts that carry tensile/hoop stress • Verify which layer is primarily for protection from abrasion, sun, and environment, not pressure strength
