A chemical suction and discharging hose is versatile, durable, and reliable and can be used for many applications. These hoses are resistant against heat, pressure, and abrasion and are easy to store and handle.
They are also lightweight and super flexible. These hoses come in a variety of sizes and lengths to meet the needs of each industry.
characteristics of chemical suction and discharge hoses
Suction and discharge hoses are used to transport water and slurries from one location to another. They are also useful in dewatering applications, such as bringing down flood levels or helping to create stable soil on construction sites.
These hoses are made of high-quality materials to ensure they last a long time and perform well. To increase their stiffness and pressure resistance, they are often reinforced with fibers or steel cords.
The hose’s tube is made of synthetic rubber or another material that can resist abrasion. It can also be made to withstand different temperatures and pressures.
The inner tube is usually lined with ultra-high molecularweight polyethylene to transfer chemicals and solvents into the liquid being transported. These hoses can be ordered in a variety of sizes to suit your needs.
These hoses can be used to handle almost any industrial chemical. They are constructed with a non-staining UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) tube and an abrasion resistant EPDM cover.
These hoses can be used to transfer most chemicals, solvents and corrosive liquids in pressure and gravity flow services. However, it is important to check the chemical resistance chart provided by Novaflex to make sure that the hose can handle the chemical at the concentration and temperature required.
how to extend the life of chemical suction and discharge hose
A good way to extend the life of your chemical suction and discharge hose is to choose one that has abrasion resistance. This will protect it against damage like cuts, accidental compression, and deep goesuges.
A hose with an internal layer of steel wire can also extend its lifespan because it helps to prevent kinking. It will also give the hose more flexibility during operation.
A cover made of weather- and ozone-resistant rubber can also help prolong the life of your chemical discharge and suction tubes. This will protect the tube against cracking and stiffening from UV radiation and ozone exposure.
Lastly, a spring guard or coil hose guard can be used to protect the tube from abrasion and damage. This is particularly useful in applications where you need to handle acidic and corrosive chemicals.
Besides the above mentioned factors, hoses are subjected to many other conditions that can shorten their service life and affect their integrity. It is crucial that you understand these factors so that you can choose the right hose for your application.
Chemical suction and discharge hose wire layer fault
There are many causes of the fault in the steel wire layer. Most common is misapplication of the hose for an application it is not intended for. The hose may be damaged by excessive pressure or temperature. The hose could also lose its elasticity. In addition, the local environment, such as UV-exposure, may also affect the hose’s lifespan.
Another common failure is the kinking of the hose or the crushing of its section near the fittings. This causes damage to the hose’s cover and damages its reinforcement, resulting in a ruptured hose. Finally, the hose can be crushed or bent beyond its minimum bend radius (measured from the inside edge of the hose, not its centerline). This is most common with vacuum hoses and high pressure hoses. The resulting rupture is usually a large one and can be seen in the form of a burst.
