Description
Product details
Material: Inner Liner: Made from synthetic rubber or thermoplastic materials, such as neoprene, nitrile, or PVC, depending on the hose’s intended use. The inner liner must be resistant to the specific gases it will transport, such as oxygen or acetylene. Reinforcement: Typically reinforced with layers of synthetic fabric or braided steel wires to provide strength and flexibility. This reinforcement helps the hose withstand high pressure and mechanical stress. Outer Cover: Constructed from a durable, abrasion-resistant material like synthetic rubber or thermoplastic. The outer cover protects the hose from external damage, such as cuts, abrasions, and exposure to environmental factors. Pressure Rating: Working Pressure: Welding hoses are designed to handle high pressures, typically ranging from 10 bar to 20 bar (approximately 150 psi to 300 psi), depending on the hose’s construction and the specific gases being transported. Temperature Range: Operating Temperature: Generally effective within a temperature range from -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F). The specific temperature range can vary based on the hose material and construction. Color Coding: Identification: Welding hoses are often color-coded to distinguish between different gases. For example, acetylene hoses are commonly red, while oxygen hoses are typically green. This color coding helps prevent confusion and ensures safety. Flexibility: Bending Radius: Designed to be flexible for ease of handling and routing around equipment and work areas. The hose’s flexibility allows it to be maneuvered without kinking or restricting gas flow. Safety Features: Burst Pressure: Welding hoses are built with a burst pressure much higher than the working pressure to ensure safety and prevent hose failure. This construction provides a safety margin to handle unexpected pressure surges.
