Silicone hose sleeve offers you excellent hose protection solution
Hydraulic hose is one of the necessary hoses in industry. It has many types for different work conditions. According to material, there are rubber hydraulic hose and thermoplastic hose. While based on the reinforce type, it can be spiral hydraulic hose and braided hydraulic hose.
The production process is different between braided hydraulic hose and spiral hydraulic hose
The steel wire of high pressure steel wire braided hose is mesh shape. While it is spiral type of high pressure spiral hose.
Number of steel wire layers is different
The braided hose can have an odd number or an even number of layers. But the spiral hose must have an even number of layers. Because one layer must be wound clockwise, and the other layer must be wound counterclockwise. Only this the steel wire will not loosen.
Pressures
With the same number of layers of steel wire, spiral hose can withstand greater pressure than braided hose.
Price
In general, the price of braided hose is lower than that of spiral pipe.
Which one is to choose?
The selection is mainly based on the working pressure of the hydraulic system. In general, it is enough to use braided hose. But if the working pressure is too high, you should choose a spiral hose. On the market, the hoses with less than 2 layers are braided hose. While the spiral hoses has more than 4 layers.
