There are many rubber hoses to suit your needs. It is important to assess the material according to your specific application.
Synthetic rubbers are an excellent option, offering good oil resistance and a broad temperature range. They also handle sunlight and ozone well. They are a great choice in a variety of applications.
industrial wear-resistant rubber hose series
The industrial wear-resistant rubber hose series is a versatile line of hoses designed for heavy-duty applications. These hoses can withstand heat, abrasion and weather and have high-resistant textile reinforcement which allows them to be used in harsh industrial environments.
These hoses are perfect for abrasion-resistant water transfer and discharge, jetting, irrigation, general dewatering and pumping. They are lightweight and flexible. They can be crimped or banded to make assemblies per your specifications.
Popular synthetic rubber with a durometer of 60 is Neoprene/Chloroprene. This type of rubber is a great choice for abrasion, tearing, flexibility, rebound (hot), UV aging, ozone resistance, oil and gasoline.
It is important to consider many factors when choosing the right hose. This can help you select the best hose for your application and ensure the hose will last.
Parker’s ToughCover abrasion-resistant hose covers are made from synthetic rubber and have 80x the abrasion resistance than standard rubber hose. Parker also offers the SuperTough polymeric cover, which is 650x more abrasion-resistant than Standard rubber hose.
Rubber hose with wear resistance
Hoses with abrasion resistance have a variety of applications in the construction industry. These hoses are used for transporting sand, plaster grout, cement, and other dry material by air or water. They are also used in sandblasting and plastering machines.
There are several ways to increase the abrasion resistance of hoses, including choosing a compound that has a higher percentage of rubber and adding fillers. Neoprene can be added for oil resistance and abrasion resistance to high-temperature hoses.
A cover that protects the hose’s interior from rubbing is another way to increase abrasion resistance. You can use a thermoplastic hose cover, a textile hose cover, or a traditional rubber-covered one.
The cover also has to offer protection from chemicals, UV rays and ozone attack. Some hose covers feature a coiled spring-like wire that can offer blunt-force impact protection. Other options include woven nylon and corrugated plastics.
ToughJacket hydraulic hoses from Parker are designed to be used in heavy-duty applications that require abrasion resistance and durability. These hoses feature a special polyurethane jacket to withstand abrasion and are ideal for boom or cable track applications where long lengths of hose are required. They are lightweight and compact, with a very low length change under pressure and superior ultraviolet resistance.
Media transported by wear-resistant rubber hose
Wear-resistant rubber hose can only be used with media that are highly abrasive and prone to erosion. These materials include hard rock, silica, crushed sand and other highly erodible materials.
For these materials, rubber hoses offer a large advantage in transporting them over steel pipelines. This is because of the higher elasticity of rubber which helps to absorb the energy of particles impacting on the hose, thereby reducing the pressure drop (see Figure 2.21).
These hoses can transport fluid-like media or cohesive media. This is because the hoses are made of rubber which can adapt to the properties of the material being conveyed and provide the necessary tensile strength, flexibility and resistance against weathering, UV light and ozone.
There are many cover options for hoses, including traditional neoprene and plastic-rubber mixtures with high-end thin polyethylene sheaths. These reduce friction and increase wear resistance. A smooth plastic hose is more resistant to snags than a textile hose. The thermoplastic cover can also be made from a combination of different plastic resins to increase abrasion resistance.
