Specifications and characteristics of hydraulic hoses are a vital consideration when selecting the right hose for your application. These include pressure ratings and abrasion resistance. Return lines should be larger than pressure lines for safety reasons (see the manufacturer’s noograph). Also, bending the hose in more than one plane can reduce service life. How hydraulic […]
Chemical transfer hose fittings are designed for specific applications. They must be able withstand the chemicals being transferred. They may break or lose the seal if they are not. Choosing the right hose for the job is vital for process optimization, efficiency, and safety. To do so, gather the following information: the chemical substance’s safety […]
Specifications and models of air conditioning hoses vary, but all offer the same basic functionality. These hoses are designed to transport refrigerant between the compressor and the A/C components in cars. They are resistant to chemicals, pressure, and temperature fluctuations. EverCool mobile A/C Hose GH001 has features that are industry leading, such as near-zero leakage, […]
Air conditioners work by transferring heat from inside your home to the outside. This process uses a cooling agent called refrigerant. The hoses that carry this heat come standard at a predetermined length. Extending the exhaust hoses can damage your air conditioner, as well as expose you to dangerous fumes. It can also lead to […]
Blast hoses play a vital role in any blast system. They convey the abrasive media from the blast gun to the surface being blasted. Proper hose selection will improve production, lower maintenance costs and protect your blasters from electric shock. Heavy duty abrasion resistant sand and shot blast hose that will accept higher working pressures […]
It is important to know the specifications and characteristics of fiber-braided hoses in order to choose the right hose for your needs. In addition to abrasion resistance and corrosion protection, hoses must also withstand varying temperature ranges and working pressure. Hoses that use a textile or steel wire braid are more flexible than spiral hoses. […]
Sandblast hoses transfer blast media from the nozzle to the hose. These hoses can cause safety and performance issues. The type of abrasive is an important consideration. Mineral abrasives such as silica produce dust that can lead to silicosis, a debilitating lung disease. Other mineral abrasives, such as garnet, produce less dust. Wear-resistant blasting hose: […]
Fittings are used to connect tubing and hoses in car wash equipment. Tubing is used to transport liquids or gases under pressure, while hoses are used to carry water and cleaning agents. Check hose clamps on a regular basis. A missing or loose one can lead to leaking. Operators should also track hose replacements using […]
When you think of a car wash, you probably picture soapy water and high-powered hoses. However, few people think about the recycled water systems that help to clean cars and conserve resources. A good hose will resist kinking, and should have a locking system. It should also have metal couplings for durability. The number of […]
Acid fracturing hoses come in different models and specifications. They are used to transfer fluids from and to the fracking sites. These include drilling fluid, crude oil, or hydrochloric acids. Foam-based fracturing fluids can be tailored to the conditions of individual reservoirs through environmentally friendly chemical additives. They can be adjusted to thermal changes that […]
