What are the types of hose?

Oct 26, 2021

Hose is an important part in modern industry. The hose is mainly used as the wire and cable protection tube for wires, cables, automatic instrument signals and civil shower hoses, with specifications ranging from 3mm to 150mm. Small-caliber hoses (inner diameter 3mm-25mm) are mainly used for sensor circuit protection of precision optical rulers and industrial sensor circuit protection.

 

According to the purpose, it is mainly divided into: threading hose, drain hose, ventilation hose, shower hose, wiring harness tube.

According to the material, it is mainly divided into: stainless steel hose, metal hose, corrugated hose, rubber hose, and plastic hose.

 

1. The threading hose is mainly made of galvanized steel belt, stainless steel belt, PA, PE, PP and other plastic materials.

Uses: machinery manufacturing, electrical

Stainless steel hose mainly refers to the hose made of 304 stainless steel or 301 stainless steel. Uses: used as wire protection for automatic instrument signals

 

2.  Metal hose mainly refers to a spiral corrugated pipe; the other is an annular corrugated pipe.

 

The spiral corrugated pipe is a tubular shell with corrugations arranged in a spiral shape. There is a spiral angle between two adjacent corrugations, and all the corrugations can be connected by a spiral line.

The ring-shaped corrugated pipe is a tube-shaped shell with the corrugations in a closed circular ring shape, and the waves are formed by connecting the circular corrugations in series. Annular corrugated pipe is formed by seamless pipe or welded pipe. Restricted by the processing method, the length of a single tube is usually shorter than that of a spiral corrugated tube. The advantages of annular bellows are good elasticity and low rigidity.

 

3. Corrugated hose is installed in the liquid conveying system as a kind of flexible pressure-resistant pipe to compensate for the mutual displacement of the connecting ends of pipelines or machines and equipment.

The corrugated hose absorbs vibration energy and can play the role of vibration reduction and noise reduction. It has many characteristics such as good flexibility, light weight, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and high and low temperature resistance.

 

4. There are two types of plastic hoses, one is completely airtight and watertight, such as propellant transportation for launch vehicles, gas, and water heaters; the other type of plastic hose is continuous winding with tape, and ordinary winding Corrugated pipes are used to protect cables, such as magnetic card telephones and machine tools, while the corrugated pipes of table lamps are clamped with steel wires during the production process.

 

5. The rubber hose is a steel wire braided hose. The hose is composed of an inner rubber layer, a steel wire braided layer and an outer rubber layer. It is suitable for conveying hydraulic fluids, such as alcohol, fuel oil, lubricating oil, emulsion and so on.

 

6.Drain hose mainly refers to a hose made of plastic or metal. Uses: mostly used for drainage.

Shower hose:

Double hook hose, strong tension (>120 Kg), strong torsion, to ensure no cracks and no water leakage.

Hose length: 1.2 meters, 1.5 meters, 1.8 meters, 2 meters.

Hose specifications: 14mm 16mm 17mm.

Surface treatment: electrolysis, electroplating

 

7.Nylon hose (PA), made of imported modified raw materials, is a high-tech product of bellows, high toughness, high impact resistance, good bending performance, high temperature resistance, bright surface, friction resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, flame retardant , Electrical insulation> 200MΩ, halogen-free, environmentally friendly and flame retardant, widely used in automotive wiring harness, electronic, mechanical wiring harness and other fields.
