Problems and solutions for flexible metal hose
PU steel wire hose is one of the most popular flexible hoses in industry. It transports abrasive materials like sand and gravel.
Common connection methods for PU steel wire hoses include threading, flanging, and clamping. Which one you choose depends mainly on the specific application and medium.
First, clamp connection
This is the most common method, and it mainly works for transporting granular or powdery media.
Advantages: It’s easy to install and disassemble, and it costs the least.
Disadvantage: It doesn’t seal well. If liquid or air passes through, leaks can occur.
Next, flange connection
It’s common for large-diameter hoses, and the media are mostly powder, gas, or liquid.
Advantages: It seals completely and can withstand a certain amount of pressure.
Disadvantages: It’s hard to install and disassemble. The flange and hose are integrally formed, with a fixed length. You can’t separate them, so the cost is high.
Finally, thread connection
It’s often used to connect hoses to each other, usually to lengthen them.
Advantages: It seals effectively and can handle powder, gas, liquid, and other media. It also withstands a certain amount of pressure.
Disadvantages: It costs more. The connection is one-piece, and the hoses are produced in fixed lengths.
