PVC LIGHT DUTY STEEL WIRE HOSE

PVC Light Duty Steel Wire Hoses are designed for lightweight and flexible applications, combining the transparency and flexibility of PVC with the strength and durability of embedded steel wire. Here’s a detailed specification, classification, and description of PVC light duty steel wire hoses:

Specification

  1. Material:
    • Hose: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
    • Reinforcement: Embedded steel wire helix
  2. Properties:
    • Inner Diameter: Typically ranges from 6 mm to 200 mm
    • Wall Thickness: Varies based on the inner diameter and application requirements
    • Pressure Rating: Depends on the hose size and construction, typically up to 5 bar for light-duty hoses
    • Temperature Range: -10°C to +60°C (14°F to 140°F)
  3. Length:
    • Standard lengths are typically 30 meters or 50 meters per roll, but can be customized as per requirements.
  4. Color:
    • Usually transparent with visible steel wire reinforcement, but can also be available in other colors such as blue, red, or custom colors upon request.
  5. Finish:
    • Smooth or slightly corrugated outer surface

Classification

  1. By Diameter:
    • Small Diameter: 6 mm to 25 mm
    • Medium Diameter: 26 mm to 100 mm
    • Large Diameter: 101 mm to 200 mm
  2. By Application:
    • Water Transport: Used for light-duty water transport and irrigation.
    • Air Supply: Suitable for low-pressure air supply and ventilation.
    • Chemical Transport: Used for transporting non-corrosive chemicals and liquids.
    • Food Grade: Formulated for applications requiring food safety compliance (with special grade PVC).

Description

  1. Applications:
    • Water Supply and Drainage: Ideal for light-duty water supply, drainage, and irrigation applications.
    • Air Supply: Used in pneumatic systems, ventilation, and air ducting applications.
    • Chemical Handling: Suitable for transporting light chemicals and liquids that are not aggressive or corrosive.
    • Agriculture: Commonly used for spraying, irrigation, and water supply in agricultural settings.
    • Food and Beverage: Special food-grade versions can be used for transporting food and beverage products.
  2. Advantages:
    • Flexibility: High flexibility due to the PVC material, making it easy to handle and maneuver.
    • Transparency: Transparent construction allows for visual inspection of the material flow.
    • Lightweight: Lighter than other types of reinforced hoses, making it easier to transport and install.
    • Durability: Embedded steel wire provides strength and prevents kinking or collapsing.
    • Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many chemicals, oils, and greases, depending on the specific formulation of the PVC.
    • Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to corrosion from water and other non-aggressive substances.
  3. Limitations:
    • Pressure Limitations: Not suitable for high-pressure applications; primarily designed for light-duty use.
    • Temperature Sensitivity: Performance can be affected at extreme temperatures, particularly at high temperatures.
    • Chemical Compatibility: Not suitable for transporting highly corrosive or aggressive chemicals.
  4. Maintenance and Care:
    • Regularly inspect for signs of wear, abrasion, or damage.
    • Clean with water and mild detergent; avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the PVC.
    • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh environmental conditions to extend the life of the hose.
