Necessary conditions to cause a dust explosion
In daily life and production, we encounter many types of hoses. But how many common ones are there? Let’s take a closer look.
First, Metal Hoses
What is a metal hose? It’s a flexible hose made from metal—most often stainless steel. Plastic-coated metal hoses are also common.
Features
High elasticity, low stiffness, flexibility, and vibration resistance. However, they cost more than PVC or rubber hoses.
Uses:
Protection tubes for automation instrument signal wires and cables.
Civil shower hoses.
Connections in pipeline systems.
Second, Plastic Hoses
Plastic hoses are made from plastic materials, with PVC hoses being the most common. Others include PU, PE, and PP hoses. Examples include PVC garden hoses, lay-flat hoses, and suction hoses.
Features
High elasticity, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. However, they have limited temperature resistance and may harden in cold weather.
Note: Market quality varies widely, so choose reputable brands like Orientflex.
Uses: Widely used for water supply and gas transfer.
Third, Flexible Rubber Hoses
Rubber hoses have three layers: an inner tube, reinforcement (fibre or steel wire), and a cover. Common types include water hoses, air hoses, oil hoses, sandblast hoses, acid-resistant hoses, and industrial hydraulic hoses.
Features: Smooth inner walls (easy to clean) and high wear resistance.
Uses: Primarily transport hydraulic fluid, water, oil, and chemicals.
Fourth, Nylon Hoses
Nylon hoses are made from PA6 or PA12, also called PA hoses.
Features: Eco-friendly, low cost, and easy to maintain.
Uses: Ideal for vehicle brake systems, the electronics industry, and various pneumatic tools.
From metal to plastic, rubber, and nylon, each hose type serves unique purposes. When choosing, prioritize quality and reliability – Orientflex offers trusted options for all your hose needs. Contact us today for expert advice and quotes!
