About this range

01What do you need to quote an industrial hose?

The medium (with its concentration and temperature for chemicals), the bore, the working pressure, whether it runs under suction, the length, and the coupling on each end. For chemical service name the chemical — compatibility depends on the tube compound, not on how the hose looks.

02Which coupling should a new installation use?

Usually the one already on site, so hoses stay interchangeable. Cam and groove is the general quick connect for low-to-medium-pressure transfer, Storz is common in fire service and dewatering, and steam lines need couplings and safety clamps made for steam.

03Is a suction hose different from a delivery hose?

Yes. A suction hose carries a rigid helix of steel wire or plastic so it does not collapse under vacuum; a delivery hose relies on internal pressure to hold its shape and flattens under suction. A suction-and-delivery hose is built to do both.

04Rubber, PVC, composite or metal hose — what is the difference?

Rubber hose is the general-purpose choice: flexible, tough and made in compounds for water, air, oil, chemicals, steam and abrasive material. PVC hose is light and economical for water, air and suction and delivery at moderate temperatures. Composite hose builds layers of polymer film and fabric between wire helices, giving a light, chemically resistant hose for fuel and chemical transfer. Stainless steel corrugated metal hose handles very high and cryogenic temperatures, will not let gas permeate and absorbs vibration, and PTFE-lined hose covers the most aggressive chemicals.

05What safety factor do industrial hoses have?

Most general-purpose industrial hose is rated with a minimum burst pressure three to four times its working pressure, depending on the standard it is built to. Steam hose is the exception: hose to EN ISO 6134 carries a 10:1 factor because of the energy stored in steam. The working pressure printed on the hose, not the burst figure, is the limit — and the assembly is only as good as its couplings and clamps.

06Which couplings do you supply for industrial hose?

Cam and groove, Storz, Bauer, ring lock, Guillemin, Barcelona and Geka, Russian GOST, ground-joint steam couplings, universal air (crowfoot) couplings, KC nipples, shank and pin-lug couplings, sandblast couplings, dry disconnects, EN 14420 fittings and industrial flanges, with the clamps, ferrules and menders that go with them.

07How do I measure an industrial hose for replacement?

Measure the inside diameter — hose is sold by bore, not outside diameter — and the overall length including the couplings. Note the coupling type and size at each end, what the hose carries, and its working pressure, temperature and whether it runs under suction. A photo of the printing along the hose and of each coupling usually identifies the rest.

08Which industrial hose brands do you supply?

Sunpool and Sealfast hose and couplings, Thorburn Flex metal and PTFE hose, Dixon couplings, Senior Flexonics, Hose Master and Witzenmann metal hose, and Indus's own rubber and PVC hose lines.
