Industrial gas exhaust hose is an important environmental protection equipment. The choice of its material determines the quality and effect of smoke emissions to a large extent.
First, we need to understand the basic requirements for exhaust hoses. As a highly practical environmental protection equipment, industrial flue gas exhaust hoses need to have the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, stretch resistance, easy installation and maintenance, etc. Based on these requirements, let’s discuss the common industrial flue gas exhaust hose materials currently on the market.
Metal Material
Metal hose has good pressure resistance and high temperature resistance. Mainly including stainless steel, alloy, etc. Metal hose has high stability and long service life in high temp and high pressure. But it is heavier, and the installation and maintenance costs are higher.
Composite material
Composite hose refers to a pipe made of two or more materials. Such as polyurethane foam and metal composite, silicone and fiber composite, etc. Composite exhaust hose combines the advantages of various materials. Such as light weight, high temp, corrosion, tensile resistance, etc. However, its stability in high temp and high pressure is slightly inferior to that of metal materials.
Polymer material
Flue gas exhaust hoses made of polymer materials mainly include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, etc. The gas exhaust hose made of this is light weight, corrosion and stretch resistant. However, its service life is short in high temp environments.
Ceramic material
Ceramic flue gas exhaust hose has excellent high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life. However, ceramics have poor performance in terms of wear resistance and tensile resistance. And the installation and maintenance costs are high.
