NW Washington | The main issue with galvanized pipe or fitting in a hydraulic plumbing is the possibility of zinc flakes making it into the hydraulic fluid and causing problems.
Using schedule 40 or 80 pipe as hydraulic lines is generally not a good idea, especially with newer tractors and higher working pressures.
Here is the working pressure and burst pressure for schedule 40 carbon steel pipe. http://www.kalhour.ae/downloads/psi_chart_as_per_pipe_wt.pdf | |
