A fire hose is an essential tool for firefighting—no fire response plan works without it. Yet many people don’t know how to operate a fire hose properly. This lack of knowledge can lead to serious losses if a fire breaks out, especially in high-rise buildings. To help you act quickly and safely, here’s a simple,…
A fire hose—often a flexible layflat hose—transfers high-pressure water or fire-retardant liquids like foam to fight fires. Most common fire hoses use rubber linings wrapped in polyester. But advanced models, like PU fire hoses (made with polymer materials), offer better durability. Every fire hose has metal joints on both ends: these let you connect additional…
Industrial hoses are workhorses in modern industry. They play a vital role in chemical plants, oil refineries, petroleum facilities, power plants, and more. The right industrial hose keeps fluid systems running safely and efficiently. The wrong one? It can disrupt operations, put workers at risk, and cut into profits. Yet, many businesses overlook their hoses…
Workers treat water through multiple processes to create deionized water. This water is colorless and odorless. It contains no harmful substances or infectious bacteria. For these reasons, people consider it high-quality water. In industrial and laboratory fields, transporting deionized water is a very important step. Choosing the right delivery hose is key here—it ensures the…
The food industry relies on various types of hoses. These hoses play an important role in key processes: food delivery, mixing, and storage. However, different food hose materials have unique features. So choosing the right hose is crucial to ensuring food safety. In general, most food-grade pipe materials fall into two categories: plastic and rubber.…
Polyurethane hose uses polyurethane material as its base. Its structure features strong, elastic copper-plated steel wire that covers the pipe wall. The wall itself uses a special polyether-PUR material—a modern alternative to industrial PVC. Compared to PVC, PUR material offers better wear resistance. Furthermore, climate changes do not affect the pipe body. It also has…
When rubber hoses are used improperly, they age quickly. So what causes rubber hoses to age? Oxygen plays a role in this process, and different hoses age differently under its influence. For example, natural rubber hoses, isoprene hoses, and butyl high/low pressure hoses undergo thermal-oxygen aging. During this process, their macromolecular chains mainly break, making…
PVC pipe is a vital material in home decoration, with many advantages over other options. First, it’s lightweight—easy to carry and install. This saves a lot of manpower and materials. What’s more, it resists chemicals and corrosion, making it perfect for the chemical industry. Its inner surface is smooth too, so there’s little resistance when…
Precautions for Using Hoses 1.Always use food-grade hoses within their recommended temperature and pressure ranges. 2.Hoses expand and contract with internal pressure. So cut them slightly longer than you need. 3.When applying pressure, open and close valves slowly. This avoids shock pressure. 4.Use hoses only above their minimum bending radius. Otherwise, the PU duct hose…
Industrial hoses are common in production and industrial workshops across various industries. They come in many types, classified by material. Plastic hoses are one such type. Choosing the right hose for the job yields different results. Today, let’s focus on the advantages of plastic hoses. First, plastic hoses have an attractive appearance When buying any…
