A chemical suction and discharge hose is a versatile, durable and reliable hose used for a variety of applications. These hoses are resistant against heat, pressure, and abrasion and are easy to store and handle.
They are lightweight and extremely flexible. These hoses come in a variety of sizes and lengths to meet the needs of each industry.
Characteristics of chemical suction and discharge pipes
Suction and discharge hoses are used to transport water and slurries from one location to another. They are also useful for dewatering purposes, such as helping to lower flood levels or creating 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 various temperatures and pressures.
Usually, the inner tube is lined with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene to transfer chemicals and solvents without leaching into the liquid being conveyed. These hoses are available in various sizes to meet your specific 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 for the transfer of most chemicals, solvents, and corrosive fluids in gravity flow and pressure. Novaflex provides a chemical resistance chart that can be used to ensure that the hose is capable of handling the chemical at the required concentration and temperature.
How to prolong the life of chemical suction hoses
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 especially useful when you are dealing with acidic or corrosive chemicals.
Hoses are also subject to other conditions that can reduce their service life and compromise their integrity. Therefore, it is important that you know what these factors are so that you can select the appropriate hose for your application.
chemical suction and discharge hose steel 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 may also lose 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 resultant rupture is usually large and can be seen as a burst.
