How is industrial hose different from hydraulic hose?
Hydraulic hose is selected on pressure; industrial hose is selected on the medium. What runs through it decides the tube compound, and the tube compound decides everything else. A hose that passes on pressure and fails on chemical compatibility is the standard way this goes wrong.
| Medium | What governs selection |
|---|---|
| Chemicals | Tube compatibility with that specific chemical, at that concentration and temperature |
| Food and beverage | Certification, and the paperwork that proves it, as much as the hose |
| Steam | The coupling and its attachment — more failures start there than in the hose |
| Water, suction and delivery | Whether it must resist collapse under suction, which is a different rating |
| Abrasive solids | Tube wear life, which decides service life far more than pressure does |
Industrial hose
Chemical, food, steam, water, air and abrasive.

The medium, the concentration, the temperature and the pressure. That is what selects an industrial hose — and in that order.
