Different specs of steel wire rubber pipes can bear various pressure ranges. But how to make sure the pressure resistance of rubber hoses? In fact, we can judge based on the following aspects.
The thickness of the inner layer of rubber hoses
The thicker the inner rubber layer, the higher pressure it can bear. In general, the thickness of the inner rubber layer is between 0.5-1.5mm and can bear 0.5-1.5MPa.
Diameter of steel wire reinforce layer
The larger the size the steel wire, the higher the pressure it can bear. In general, the diameter of the steel wire is 6-16mm. While it can bear the pressure of 0.5-4MPa.
Material of outer rubber layer
The material of the outer layer will also affect the pressure bearing capacity of the steel wire rubber pipe. In general, natural rubber and nitrile rubber can bear higher pressure.
Besides the material and diameter, the reinforce type also affects the pressure resistance. As for the reinforce type, there are many kinds. First is the normal steel wire rubber hose and it can bear 0.5-1.5Mpa. Second is the reinforced steel wire hose. While this type can bear 1-4Mpa pressure. The third is steel wire spiral hose. It can bear higher pressure than the former 2 kinds hose. While it can bear 2-8Mpa. Then the last is spiral hose. It has better pressure resistance than the spiral hose. While it can bear 2-10Mpa.
