A high pressure hose is a hose used to convey fluids such as liquids and gases under high pressure. A hose is a tube made of soft materials such as rubber, vinyl, plastic, or cloth, which can be bent to suit the application.
High pressure means high pressure, and "high pressure" is defined as 0.1 MPa or higher. Safety laws define high pressure as 0.2 MPa or higher.
A high pressure hose is used to prevent hoses from rupturing and leaking due to the pressure exerted on the inside of the hose by the high pressure fluid flowing through the hose.
High pressure hoses are used in a variety of applications, such as piping for high-pressure fluids in factory equipment and machinery.
In selecting a high pressure hose, the material, construction, pressure resistance, size (inner and outer diameter), length, etc., are selected based on the type of fluid, pressure, temperature, flow rate, and other factors. In particular, the most important specification selection item is "pressure resistance," which refers to the upper limit of pressure applied to the inside of high pressure hose, and the selection must be capable of withstanding this pressure.
In addition to pressure resistance, another important specification selection item is "heat resistance," which indicates the upper temperature limit of the fluid to be used, and selection must be made to keep within the heat resistance temperature.
In addition, the weight and diameter of the hose itself, as well as the strength and resistance of the material, vary depending on the type of reinforcement material. In addition, it is necessary to select the type of mouthpiece (threaded, flanged, etc.) at both ends of the hose in accordance with the piping connection method.
The structure of a high pressure hose generally consists of an inner tube, a reinforcement layer (reinforcement material), and an outer tube.
The inner tube is the innermost part through which the fluid flows, and is mainly made of materials such as synthetic rubber, polyester resin, or bellows-shaped metal. Since the inner tube is in direct contact with the fluid, the material used is very important for pressure resistance and heat resistance.
The reinforcement layer (reinforcement material) is made of braided wire (hard steel wire) or synthetic fiber, etc., and is wrapped around the outside of the inner tube in the form of a braid or spring. Increasing the material, thickness, and number of layers of this reinforcing layer increases strength and pressure resistance. The flexibility of the hose (flexibility against bending) also depends on the type of reinforcement layer, which is an important selection depending on the intended use.
The material used for the outer tube varies depending on its resistance in the operating environment (heat resistance, weather resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, etc.). Mainly, materials such as synthetic rubber, polyethylene coated synthetic rubber, and polyurethane are used.
