Suction hose and delivery hose serve different purposes in fluid transfer. While the main distinction lies in their functions during the movement of fluids. Next let me show you the difference between suction hose and delivery hose.
Suction Hose Purpose
Water suction hose is designed for the intake of fluids. It is to draw fluids, usually from a source at a lower level or with negative pressure.
Structure
Suction hoses can withstand suction forces and maintain their shape under negative pressure. They often have reinforce layers, such as wire helix, to prevent collapse under suction.
Application
Commonly used to transport liquid, slurry or powder from one location to another. For example, in water supply, it is to draw water into a pump for further transfer.
Delivery Hose Purpose
Delivery hoses, on the other hand, are for the discharge or delivery of fluids. They are to transfer fluids from a source (pump or container) to a destination. While it is typically at a higher level or pressure.
Structure
Delivery hose can withstand the pressure exerted during fluid discharge. It has reinforce layer for strength. But are primarily focused on handling positive pressure.
Application
Commonly used to deliver water or other fluid to a specific location. For example, delivery hose can deliver water from a pump or hydrant to extinguish fires.
In summary, suction hose is to draw fluids into a system. While delivery hose is to discharge fluids from a system. The design and structure of each type of hose are tailored to the specific conditions. Thus you should choose the right hose based on the intended use and the types of fluid.
Above is the difference between suction hose and delivery hose. And After reading this, you may have known about them. But if you still have no ideal that which one is more suitable for your work, just contact Orientflex. We are a hose manufacturer and will offer you the best fluid solution.
