Blasting Hose Size and Material
Blasting hoses should be 3-4 times larger in diameter than the nozzle they are connecting to. This prevents loss of air pressure and avoids unnecessary wear on the hose. Blue Dog blasting, your one-stop shop for serious sandblast equipment, offers a hardy line of 2-ply hoses that accept properly sized couplings and nozzles. Find the right ID size and length for your project here. Length The length of a blast hose can have a significant impact on the blasting performance. A longer hose can cause pressure losses which reduce the flow of air and abrasive to the nozzle. The optimum hose length is between three and four times the nozzle diameter. This size will provide sufficient air volume and adequate pressure to maximize productivity. A longer hose can also make it difficult to work in tight spaces. It is a good idea to regularly check the pressure in your hose with a needle pressure gauge to ensure it is still at the correct pressure. The Elcometer 102 needle pressure gauge is a great tool for this purpose, allowing you to test the nozzle pressure directly without having to disconnect the blast hose. A blast hose should be tough enough to…
How to Cut a Drill Hose
Drill hoses are used on oil rigs to convey drilling mud, well effluents and cement slurry. They have a lining that protects the hose construction from chemical and heat effects of the conveyed medium. During deep hot-water ice drilling, the residual non-flowing hot water in the drill hose will quickly become cooled and frozen in 1 h at the low temperature of -20 degC. The frost heave force generated by this freezing will easily cause the hose to rupture. High-Pressure Hose High pressure drill hoses can take on a lot more power than lower-pressure models. This enables them to withstand a lot more stress and temperatures as well, making them ideal for various situations. These types of hoses are typically made from a variety of materials and can be used in a number of different ways. One common use is with a pressure washer, which can blast water or other materials at high-pressure levels to clean surfaces, such as driveways and decks. High-Pressure Hydraulic Hose High-pressure hydraulic hoses are durable and can withstand pressure, high temperatures, and bending. This makes them a popular choice for transferring chemical substances. However, they can be difficult to cut. Using the right saw…

When to Replace a Pressure Washer Hose
If a pressure washer is experiencing loss of pressure, it may be time to replace the hose. A damaged hose can be dangerous. It can also cause severe damage to your property and possibly land you in the hospital. Pressure hoses are available in a variety of lengths, diameters, and pressure capacities. Choose one that best fits your needs. It is made of three layers The third layer is the outer cover, which protects the hose from environmental dangers, such as weather or abrasion. This layer is typically made from a material that resists corrosion and withstands high temperatures. The outer cover also protects the wire reinforcement from damage. Ordinary hoses, reenforced with wire, are normally circular in cross-section and flattened when they are accidentally crushed or otherwise distorted. This bending stresses the wires beyond their elastic limit and ruins the hose. Consequently, there is usually an absence of any circumferential tension in such a flattened hose. But when the hose is in use, it is inflated by the pressure of the fluid within it and is forced back into a circular shape by that fluid’s pressure. The two helix or spiral layers of chain 35 and 38 are therefore…
Different Types of Hydraulic Hose
Hydraulic hose has three basic parts; an inner tube that carries the fluid, a sheath and a reinforcement layer. The latter is made up of a coil or braided wire and supports the tubing while protecting it from tears. The material of the hose must be compatible with the fluid being conveyed. Consult a chemical compatibility chart to ensure this. Thermoplastic Thermoplastic hydraulic hose is an excellent choice for forklift and telehandler applications because it provides superior abrasion resistance and long continuous lengths. These advantages reduce downtime due to hose assembly changes. Thermoplastic hose also resists corrosion and is available in non-conductive styles. In addition, it offers extreme chemical compatibility, noise level redirection and UV and ozone resistance.
