Description
Product details
Material: Inner Liner: Often made from synthetic rubber (such as SBR or EPDM), polyurethane (PU), or thermoplastic rubber. The inner liner is designed to handle the pressure of compressed air and resist abrasion and wear. Reinforcement: Usually reinforced with textile braiding or spiral wires (such as steel or synthetic fibers) to provide strength and prevent collapse under high pressure. This reinforcement ensures the hose can withstand the pressures of compressed air systems and enhances its durability. Outer Cover: Typically constructed from abrasion-resistant rubber or thermoplastic materials. The outer cover protects the hose from external damage, including cuts, abrasions, and exposure to environmental factors. Pressure Rating: Working Pressure: Pneumatic tool hoses are designed to handle pressures typically ranging from 6 bar to 15 bar (approximately 90 psi to 225 psi), though some hoses can handle higher pressures depending on their design and construction. Temperature Range: Operating Temperature: Usually effective within a temperature range from -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F). The specific temperature range can vary based on the hose material and construction. Flexibility: Bending Radius: Designed to be flexible for ease of handling and maneuvering. The hose's flexibility allows it to be routed around equipment and obstacles without kinking or restricting airflow. Couplings and Fittings: Connections: Often fitted with quick-connect couplings or fittings that ensure secure attachment to pneumatic tools and compressors. These connections are designed for easy coupling and uncoupling, enhancing efficiency in changing tools or equipment. Safety Features: Burst Pressure: Pneumatic hoses are designed with a burst pressure significantly higher than their working pressure to ensure safety and prevent hose failure. The construction typically includes safety margins to handle unexpected pressure surges.
