Compressive strength
PVC steel wire hose has good compressive resistance. The steel wire embedded in its tube wall plays a role in strengthening the structure. Thus it can withstand a certain external pressure without obvious deformation. In general, under normal use conditions, it can withstand a pressure of 0.3-1.0MPa. While the specific value depends on factors such as the specifications of the hose, the material, and the density of the steel wire. For example, a steel wire hose used to transport media such as water and oil can maintain good shape and performance under normal pressure.
Tensile strength
PVC steel wire hose also has considerable tensile strength. The combination of steel wire and PVC enables the hose to resist large tensile forces when subjected to axial tensile forces. Usually, its tensile strength can reach tens of Newtons per square centimeter or even higher. This allows it to work reliably in some occasions that require pulling or moving. Such as fluid transportation of mobile equipment, temporary pipeline connections, etc., and is not easily damaged by stretching.
Tear strength
Due to the presence of steel wire, PVC steel wire hose performs well in tear resistance. When the hose is torn by external force, the steel wire can prevent the crack from expanding and improve the hose’s tear resistance. This feature makes it difficult for the hose to tear even if the surface is scratched or worn to a certain extent.
