Key factors in choosing marine hoses

Technically speaking, there are many factors to consider when choosing marine hoses, such as: size, type, and material. From an application perspective, consideration needs to be given to installation style, flow and pressure, piping systems, service life, and corrosion and fatigue resistance.  In addition, the length and bending radius of the hose also need to be considered to ensure its safety and reliability in the pipeline. When selecting a hose, all its characteristics need to be considered comprehensively. 

Material

Usually different materials and processes are used during the manufacturing process of marine hoses to meet different performance requirements. There are currently a variety of materials on the market that can be used in the production and manufacturing of marine hoses, such as natural rubber (NR), butyl rubber (SBR) and polyurethane (PU). Since different materials have different characteristics, their production and manufacturing processes are also different. In order to ensure the production of hoses that meet the requirements, it is necessary to select the appropriate materials and manufacturing process according to different application requirements and application scenarios.

Size

Size is a crucial factor when selecting marine hoses, and the hose sizes required may vary for different applications and media. CDSR can provide a variety of specification options according to customer requirements and ensure that the hose is suitable for different application scenarios.

 

● The inner diameter has a direct impact on the flow rate and pressure of the fluid. A larger inner diameter can provide greater flow, but may cause greater pressure loss under high-pressure conditions. Therefore, the appropriate hose material and inner diameter should be selected based on the nature of the fluid being handled and the required operating pressure.

 

● The outer diameter has an impact on the mechanical strength and durability of the hose. A larger outer diameter usually provides better mechanical strength and wear resistance. But it will also increase the stiffness value of the hose, thereby increasing the weight of the hose. Therefore, the appropriate outer diameter needs to be considered based on specific environmental conditions and application requirements.

 

● The length of the hose should be determined based on specific application requirements. The distance between the two end points of the hose connection as well as the scalability and bending radius of the hose need to be taken into consideration to ensure that the length of the hose is sufficient to meet design requirements such as pipeline strength and operating safety distance. 

Application

Usage requirements, environmental factors and industry standards play an important role in product development, project management, quality control, etc. They help ensure that products or services can meet user needs, adapt to various environmental conditions, and comply with industry regulations and standards.
