What are liquid hoses?
Liquid hoses are flexible tubes designed to transport various types of liquids. They can be used in industrial, commercial, and domestic applications. They are designed for the safe conveyance of different types of fluids, such as water, oils, chemicals, or industrial liquids, depending on the material they are made from and their resistance.
Some common types of fluid hoses include:
- Garden hoses: Used for watering and garden applications.
- Industrial hoses: Designed to handle liquids in industrial environments.
- Food-grade hoses: Manufactured with food-safe materials and used in the food industry, approved according to FDA food standard 177/2600. Constructed with a mandrel for the pumping or suction of food-grade liquids, such as milk, oil, wine, juice, and beer.
- Drinking water hoses: Manufactured with materials safe for human consumption. Made of food-grade PVC DM4.04.85 according to ISO 1307 standards. EEC DIRECTIVE 90/128.
- Transfer hoses: Made of PVC for suction and discharge, primarily used in agriculture. Ideal for outdoor work.
When choosing a hose, it is important to consider the type of liquid it will carry, the pressure it will be subjected to, the temperature, and whether it will be used outdoors.
What types of liquids can be transported with these hoses?
It depends on the model, but they can be used for:
- Drinking and non-drinking water
- Industrial oils
- Compatible chemicals
- Refrigerants
- Food-grade liquids (in certified, specific hoses)
- Technical and industrial fluids
Which sectors use hoses for liquids?
These hoses are used in:
- Chemical industry
- Agriculture
- Food and drinks
- Water treatment
- Construction
- Manufacturing industry
- Industrial maintenance
What is the difference between a supply hose and a suction hose?
The delivery hose is designed to transport liquids under pressure, while the suction hose is reinforced to withstand vacuum without deforming or collapsing.
What advantages do hoses for industrial liquids offer?
Liquid hoses are distinguished by their ability to transport fluids safely, efficiently, and reliably in a wide variety of applications. They are designed to withstand demanding working conditions, offering excellent resistance to pressure, abrasion, chemicals, and temperature variations, depending on the model and material.
Furthermore, their flexibility facilitates installation and handling, while the wide range of diameters, reinforcements, and configurations available allows them to be adapted to the specific needs of each industrial process. Thanks to these characteristics, liquid hoses are a versatile solution for sectors such as the chemical, food, agricultural, construction, water treatment, and industrial maintenance industries.
What is a delivery hose?
It is a hose designed to transport liquids under pressure from one point to another, such as pumps, tanks, or distribution systems.
What is a suction hose?
It is an internally reinforced hose designed to withstand vacuum, preventing it from collapsing when fluid is drawn into the system.
