When transporting cement mortar, choosing the right hose is crucial. The quality and performance of hoses not only affect construction efficiency, but also affect project quality and service life. Therefore, when selecting a cement mortar conveying hose, many factors must be considered to ensure that a suitable hose is purchased.
First, consider the material of the hose.
There are two main materials for cement mortar conveying hoses currently on the market: plastic and rubber. Plastic hoses have the advantages of being lightweight, not easy to age, and have a long service life, but the price is relatively high. Rubber hoses have better elasticity and pressure resistance. However, it is easily affected by temperature and has a relatively short service life. When choosing, you should decide based on actual needs and budget. For example, where long-term use is required, plastic hose may be a better choice. In short-term use or in more cost-sensitive situations, rubber hose may be more suitable.
Secondly, pay attention to the size and specification of the hose.
Factors such as the inner diameter, wall thickness and length of the hose will affect the transportation efficiency and construction effect. Generally speaking, hoses with larger inner diameters can increase conveying speed and reduce construction time. Hose with thicker walls have better pressure resistance and can better adapt to the complex environment of the construction site. When choosing a length, consider construction site space constraints and ease of operation. A hose that is too long will make construction more difficult, while a hose that is too short may not meet construction needs.
Also, pay attention to how the hoses are connected.
There are currently two main connection methods on the market: threaded connection and clamp connection. The advantage of threaded connection is that the connection is tight and not easy to leak. The disadvantage is that disassembly is cumbersome and requires professional tools. The clamp connection is relatively simple and easy to disassemble. However, there may be a risk of leakage. When choosing a connection method, you must weigh the pros and cons based on the actual situation.
