You name it, Caterpillar tests it: rubber compression and elongation; wire tensile - strength; house impulse, burst pressure, temperature adaptability, abrasion, flexibility; coupling salt-spray, and metallurgical testing exceeding many key industry standards.
Internal Failure Testing
Cat XT hoses are tested at 1 million impulse cycles for internal failure (the applicable SAE standard is 500,000 cycles, the EN standard is 400,000).
Flex and Impulse Testing
In flex tests and impulse testing pressure on/off, from 0 pressure to 133% of maximum working pressure, hoses withstand a million repetitions.
