Benefit From Flexible Stainless Steel Hoses

Industries that use hose assemblies to transport harsher materials will tend to utilise the many benefits of a flexible metal hose. Hoses and pipes made out of stainless steel, the most common choice of hose material, will tend to be incredibly flexible and vary in shape and size. The stainless steel braided sleeve is highly resistant to the high temperatures and pressures required to transport certain materials from one point to another. Specifically, the hose will be fitted with crimped couplings that take a substantial amount of the pressure when the hose is in use.

Commonly, industries will use a standard rubber hose for transporting liquids and gases. But those industries that require a little more durability for transporting harsh chemicals or gases will utilise the robust strength found with stainless steel coated hoses that have additional reinforcement to withstand the aforementioned high pressures. This strength brings the hose a much longer life span and resistance against forming cracks and leaks.

It may not be obvious to some but the flexible metal hoses are often much lighter than standard hose materials that are available for use. However, this useful light weight material used for industrial hoses is not lacking in sturdiness. The stainless steel hose is incredibly resilient to alkaline and acidic chemicals, whilst also being resistant to oxidation when often exposed to water. This makes them incredibly useful within industries that deal with the transportation of corrosive fuel liquids and gases.

There are a wide variety of uses for braided stainless steel hoses and the many other types of flexible metal hoses within the various industries that may require them. The benefits are clear to see for those who may be undecided or daunted by the choices available. However, if you still remain daunted then contact your local hose testing and inspection company, for professional and expert advice.

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...

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 als...

Chemical Analysis, NAP XPS

NAP XPS is a less traditional form of XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it allows for samples to be analysed at relatively high pressures. Through using the NAP XPS, the XPS can efficiently and effectively probe biological samples, porous materials, moderately volatile liquids or even polymeric materials that outgas significantly. Chemical analysis is the act of decomposing a substance into its constituent elements. Chemical analysis, which heavily relies on the use of accurate measurements, is divided into two categories depending on the manner in which the assays (the process of determining proportions of metals) are conducted. Classical analysis, also known as wet chemical analysis, is made up of analytical techniques which require no mechanical or electronic instruments other than a balance. This method usually relies on chemical reactions between the material being analysed and a reagent that is added to the material. Wet techniques often depend on the ...
