The Basics Behind Industrial Hoses

Industrial hoses are an incredibly useful tool in a variety of manufacturing and production processes. Their characteristics and accessories can be equally variable, so it is vitally important that you know the basics of an industrial hose and how they can benefit the efficiency of workflow within your industry sector. Here we will look at the precise specifications that contribute to industrial hoses.

An industrial hose is a flexible container that takes a shape similar to a pipe, and is quite often made of rubber. These “pipes” are used to transport liquids, gases and certain solids from one part of a machine to another, or even a completely different area of the building.

Household hoses that a majority of people are familiar with will usually include the common garden hose; however, industrial hoses are used when larger volumes of substances are in need of transportation. Hoses transport those substances via their water-tight lining made of plastic or rubber, which is also encased in stainless steel to resist pressure.

There is a preferred hose type for each substance that needs transporting; hot and cold substances will require a hose that is heavily resistant to varying temperatures, whereas hoses used for discharge or suction will require a high resistance to varying pressures.

Whilst most commonly used hose designs are relatively similar, the need for different characteristics is essential. Some hoses are designed with vertical braiding, which gives the hose a high tensile strength with a resistance to bends and kinks.

Industrial hose accessories come in all shapes, sizes and uses. Some hoses keep the hose in a completely static position; others prevent cracks and leaks whilst maintaining its functionality. Industrial hose fittings attach hoses together with “quick disconnect” fittings being useful for the easy release of hoses without the need for tools.

An expansion joint is another useful accessory which is employed to keep hoses from moving around due to vibrations, and potentially causing serious damage or an interruption to workflow. There are many other accessories that are used within industry sectors that utilise industrial hoses such as pressure gauges, sealant and power tools.

A reliable supplier of industrial hoses will be happy to disclose any information you may require for successful hose management.

What Is Oil and Gas Reservoir Evaluation?

Oil and Gas Reserves and Resources Evaluation is a series of technical studies which are intended to add value to an oil and gas company’s operations pertaining to a particular prospect – as well as highlight issues which may prevent the prospect coming into fruition. Typically, an oil and gas reserves and resource evaluation consists of various technical studies, which tend to take place from an early exploration stage, onward to development planning and even utilised in project execution. Some of these technical studies are as follows. Seismic Processing and Imaging is taken on both pre and post stack processing sequences. Furthermore, there are a series of regional sedimentlogical, sequence-stratigraphic and structural exploration technical audits to carry out. Essential geological information such as sedimentology, facies, burial history, diagenesis and mineralogy is also taken into consideration in order to find the best possible evaluation result. All-in-all, the act of o

What is AFM-IR?

AFM-IR , or atomic force microscopy based infrared spectroscopy is a form of chemical imaging which creates a visual image of components which make up chemicals, which uses extremely high powered microscopes. This is typically done with a radiation source to illuminate the sample which is being observed, as well as the usage of an AFM probe which detects thermal expansions from the radiation source. Also used is a high-powered imaging system to translate the probe’s movements into an image, and finally a detector array to categorise. AFM-IR places results in a three-dimensional block, which spans x and y dimensions. AFM-IR has enormous application in a whole variety of fields. Whether it is chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutical agricultural or industrial use, the ability to analyse substances and work our properties is vital. AFM-IR has quickly become one of the most powerful and efficient ways to characterise material surfaces, especially at nanoscale resolution. Na

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com
