Platinum cured silicone hose has a wide range of application
In irrigation, we often use double layer layflat hoses. Although this is a very common hose, many people may not know how to use it. Wrong use will affect its work and service life. So, what is the correct way to use it? How do we choose high quality hoses?
Correct use of double layer layflat hoses
When laying the hose, we should avoid touching sharp objects. We should use special hose hooks when placing the hose vertically to high places. When crossing the railway, the hose should pass under the track. Because this prevents the wheels from rolling the hose and running the intermittent water supply.
How to choose a high quality hose?
First, we need to understand the appearance of the qualified coated hose. This way we will have the criteria for selection. Generally speaking, double layer layflat hoses’ thickness needs to be above 1.5mm. Its pressure is above 0.6 MPa and the surface is smooth. The weight is at least 0.5kg. The hose must not be damaged during handling and unloading. So, based on the above criteria, how do we choose a high-quality layflat hose?
(1) Color and smell. When choosing a red hose or a blue hose, the more intuitive quality reflection is its color and smell. The better the color, the lighter the smell and the better the quality.
(2) Line type. It’s generally woven with polyester filament. We can seen the quality based on the in-line thickness and weave density. The thicker the thread, the greater the pressure.
(3) Scratches. The less obvious the scratches on the surface, the better the quality.
To sum up, double layer layflat hoses are very popular in agriculture, industry and other fields. Correct usage and high-quality hoses are the keys to improving water delivery and drainage operation. Therefore, we should select high-quality layfalt hoses carefully. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact Orientflex.
