There are many types of hoses used in water conservancy projects. While each has its own unique design and function. Among these hoses, the most used are three types as follow.
Wire hose
Steel wire hose is a flexible pipe with steel wire as the reinforce. Besides, the inner and outer layer are rubber or PU. It has high tensile strength, pressure and wear resistance. In water conservancy projects, steel wire pipe is often used in water delivery, drainage, etc.
Polyurethane hose
PU has high tensile strength and pressure resistance. Besides, PU hose has good wear and impact resistance. In addition, such hose is light in weight and easy to install. Therefore, it reduces the construction difficulty in hydraulic project. In this field, PU pipe is ideal for water delivery, drainage, irrigation and other fields.
Silicone hose
Silicone has excellent high temp and corrosion resistance. Thus it has high stability in high temp and high pressure. In addition, silicone pipe is flexible. It can easily cope with bending, folding and other conditions during pipeline laying. In hydraulic project, silicone hose serves in high pressure water delivery systems. Such as hydropower stations and nuclear power plants. It can ensure the safe and stable operation of energy facilities.
To sum up, there are many types of hoses in hydraulic projects. You need to consider the medium, pressure and working condition. In addition, you should also pay attention to the installation, maintenance and inspection. Because only this can ensure that the hose is safe and reliable. For example, regularly check hoses for wear, aging, damage, etc. And replace damaged hoses promptly. During installation, make sure the hoses are securely connected to the equipment. During use, avoid excessive stretching, bending and other stresses on the hose, which will reduce its service life.
