Hydraulic and Industrial Hoses - Sinopulse hose

Sinopulse Group is specialized in manufacturing hydraulic hoses, and we also supply industrial hoses, in our latent mind, a question maybe appear what is the difference between hydraulic and industrial hoses, in this article, we will dive into their respective features in the aspects like definition, application, size, pressure, assembly, and so on.

For more information, please visit our website.

Definition of hydraulic and industrial hoses

The industrial hose has the core word &#;industrial&#;, it indicates its application scenarios and is involved in all industrial applications, such as construction, plant, agriculture, mining, forest, etc. in our company, the industrial hoses we offer are mostly made of rubber, of course, in order to meet client&#;s requirement, some plastic hose is supplied either.

Industrial hoses

The hydraulic hose has the core word &#;hydraulic&#;, it&#;s a narrow concept in contrast the the former, the function of the hydraulic hose is obliged to convey hydraulic power by means of pressurized hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic hose which is combined with other hydraulic components integrates the system to fulfill periodic tasks.

Hydraulic hoses

Application

As mentioned above, hydraulic hoses are only a part of some equipment with an actuator that conducts periodic motion. the media in the inner tube of the hydraulic hose can be petro-, water-, lubricate&#; emulsion-based hydraulic fluid. the hydraulic hoses are mostly used from zero point several meters to a few meters.

Relatively, industrial hoses have wider applications than hydraulic hoses, they are often specially named due to their respective usage. they tend to transport steam, cement, gas, oil, fuel, resin, sand, hot tar, nitrogen, and thousands more from one point to another, they extend distances between several meters and dozens of meters, or even longer.

Pressure

As often as not, industrial hoses have far lower working pressure ratings than hydraulic ones, correspondingly the safety factor of the former is lower than the latter, for instance, the working pressure of industrial hoses ranges up to 300psi in most, however, the hydraulic hoses mostly range from psi to thousands of psi in working pressure rating.

The safety factor of hydraulic hoses is 4:1 which is stipulated considering the hazard in an explosion accident under such high pressure. however, the safety factor of industrial hoses is 3:1 or even lower.

Size

The nominal diameter of the hydraulic hoses generally ranges from 1/4&#; to 2&#;, since the hydraulic hose is meant to transfer hydraulic power, the flow capacity and the recommended velocity shape the dimension.

However, the diameter of industrial hoses generally ranges from 1/4&#; to 8&#;, because their mission is used to transport gas, liquid, or powder from one point to another, how large the diameter is is up to their requirement.

Temperature

The temperature of the hydraulic media in the inner hydraulic tube ranges from -40°F to 212°F for rubber materials, special rubber hydraulic hoses can be made up to clients&#; needs like in extreme cold use.

However, depending on the application, the temperature rating of industrial hoses varies widely as well, on some special occasions may need to handle steam up to 450°F.

Assembly

The hose assembly is referred to the hose and its coupling at the two ends of the hose. how the couplings are fixed to the hose end differs between hydraulic hoses and industrial hoses. Hydraulic hoses sustain high pressure, and most of the hydraulic fittings are crimped on the end with an exclusive machine.

The hydraulic fittings normally fall in JIC, NPT, SAE, BSP, Metric, and JIS standards in thread type&#; They are generated exclusively for hydraulic application.

However, due to their lower application, industrial hose couplings may be crimped, swaged, clamped, or even banded.

Industrial couplings vary widely in availability as well, thread type, configuration, material, and connection method. It is common to see steel, iron, brass, stainless, or even plastic coupling for industrial hoses.

Summary

As a professional hydraulic hose manufacturer, Sinopusle Group supplies both hydraulic hoses and industrial hoses, and most of them are made of synthetic rubber, in addition, we offer hydraulic fittings, rubber hose couplings, adaptors, and so on, and we are devoted to hose and connection.

From the description above, I think you can figure out the difference between hydraulic and industrial hoses, all these maybe give you some inspiration and build up to your insight about rubber hoses, after all, if you have some questions or requirements, you can contact us any time, reply on time are ensured with us.

7 Types of Industrial Hoses and When You Should Use Them

The global industrial hose market will most likely [5] grow rapidly in the next six years - and it is no wonder why. Many industries need industrial hoses &#; from agriculture to the food industry. But how can they be sure they are using the right hose?

The safe transference of fluids is important in any industry. Using the incorrect type of hose can have devastating effects. Some of these effects are chemical exposure, leaks, explosion, fire, electrocution, flooding slippery floors, and many more. Thankfully, there is a solution.

This article will walk you through everything you need to know about 7 of the main types of industrial hoses.

1. Water Hose

The water hose is the easiest type of hose to understand. It works like any sort of hose you might have back at home, but on a much larger scale. You can think of it as an industrial garden hose. Its uses are relatively intuitive. You can use industrial hoses to water crops, put out fires, and clean large pieces of machinery that would be tough to reach by workers. An industrial water hose needs to be strong enough to support high-pressure water. They need to resist ozone (sunlight) and other sorts of decay that happen over time. A water hose needs a strong industrial hose reel. Our website features several high-quality [6] industrial water hose reels.

 

2. Hot Water Hose

While a hot water hose has a similar name to a water hose, its uses are different. Hot water hoses safely convey dangerously hot (or cold) liquid during an industrial process. When properly selected, they also convey steam. Hot water hoses are used in low-temperature landscaping jobs, where normal temperatures of water would freeze. They can also come of use in cold-water cleanings, such as in the case of a ski mountain that needs to have its equipment cleaned. Due to the extreme temperatures, they undergo, these hoses need to be made from high-quality application specific rubber such as an EPDM hose. They also need to take extra care to be fitted tightly.

 

3. Hydraulic Hose

 

Hydraulic hoses are an important part of hydraulic machinery. Hydraulic machinery is machinery that makes use of [7] hydraulic systems, using the shifting of oil pressure to power the machine. Hydraulic machines present themselves as a cost-efficient, simple [8] solution to the problem of creating an efficient industrial workforce. Hydraulic hoses are like the veins and arteries in the machine's body, they transfer the fluid that keeps the machines running. They are made from many different types of materials, flexible, and resistant to high levels of pressure. There are many different types of hydraulic hoses &#; such as reinforced hoses, coiled hoses, consulted hoses, and corrugated hoses &#; so make sure you do some research on which hose you need specifically.

 

4. Chemical Fume Extraction Hose

These are the most intimidating-looking hoses on this list &#; have you ever seen those long yellow hoses in a contaminated zone? These hoses safely ventilate process chemical fumes. They are most often used in the chemical industry, but they can be found in the food industry too. Because of their importance in the process of transferring dangerous chemicals, quality is of the utmost importance. They need to be resistant to chemicals and gas tight. Different chemical fume extraction hoses are made from neoprene, PTFE, aluminum, and EPDM rubber. Other common uses of chemical fume extraction hose the ventilation of high temperatures, and automobile exhaust.

 

5. Dust Collection Hose

 

If your job site contains a lot of dust, woodchips, wood shavings, sawdust, or even gases, the dust collection may help. A dust collection hose, also known as a ventilation hose acts as a sort of large vacuum cleaner, sucking up loose materials that can be pesky at their best, dangerous at the worst. The construction of these hoses needs to account for the abrasion that they will face. They usually come in medium or light weights and can be made of anything from PVC to polyurethane to thermoplastic rubber. If you and your workers find yourself around a lot of fine materials, inhaling them could damage your lungs. Make sure you invest in a dust collection hose.

 

6. Ventilation Hose (Industrial Ducting)

A ventilation hose is another extraction-based hose. Ventilation hoses remove gas, smoke, fumes, and any other sort of pollutant you can think of. If your chemical, agricultural, or manufacturing company often finds itself surrounded by hazardous chemicals, a ventilation hose could be right for you.

Ventilation hoses are made of coated fabric, thermoplastic rubber, polyethylene, metal, and PVC.

This type of hose is very similar to the chemical fume extraction hose. The biggest difference between them is that ventilation hoses are used for more general purposes &#; noxious vehicle exhaust, contaminants &#; whereas chemical fume extraction hoses are used for specific toxic chemicals.

 

7. Air Hose

Air hoses are like hydraulic hoses in that they are both used to power specific types of machines. Air hoses are used in pneumatic machines, which are machines that operate by shifts in air pressure. Air hoses carry the air between various parts of the machine.

Like many other types of hoses on this list, air hoses must withstand high pressures so that they do not leak or damage. Oil-based lubricants are often applied to air hoses, to smooth the machine's process. Because of this rubber is often used in their construction, allowing high strength/flexibility while being a surface that is easy to lube.

Buy the Best Industrial Hoses The industrial hose market is growing rapidly, as more and more people buy hoses to use in their business. Once you understand these uses of water hoses, hot water hoses, hydraulic hoses, chemical fume extraction hoses, dust collection hoses, ventilation hoses, and air hoses, you are well on your way to buying the best industrial hoses for your business.
