PVC fibre reinforced hose is a general material for both civil and industrial use. It can transfer both water and oil. Thus it almost serves in everywhere. For example, agriculture and petrol. Flexible and elastic properties make it’s better than other normal hoses. However, not each of such hose fits your well. Because you should choose the proper one as per your condition.
Then how to choose a proper PVC fibre reinforced hose?
1. Pressure
You have to confirm the work pressure first. Then choose a proper hose that fits the pressure demand. Because once the work pressure beyond it that hose can bear, the hose may fail earlier. Besides, the suddenly change of pressure also reduces the lifespan.
2. Medium
First of all, you have to make sure what the medium is. Water, gas or oil. Because it can’t bear strong chemicals. For example, acid. Then confirm the temperature. Because over high temp will affect its lifespan.
3. Work condition
Include the work place, temp and humidity. Other special factors like UV, ozone and chemical may cause hose fail.
4. Mechanical stress and bend radius
Make sure your PVC fibre reinforced hose has a smaller bend radius. Because in the most cases, it need to bend during the work. Besides, the work space is narrow. During the work, there will be vibrator and twist. Thus you the bend radius should be smaller.
5. Temperature
Generally, it can bear max 65℃. Thus if the work condition beyond 65℃, the hose may turn soft. Then it losses the mechanical property. Last, it fails.
Above are the 5 points to choose a proper PVC fibre reinforced hose. And hope it can help you. If you still have no idea, please feel free to contact Orientflex. We will offer you the best solution.
