How to choose a better rubber air hose

Rubber air hose is a common material in both industrial and civil use. A good quality air hose can not only make the work smooth. But also can make it safe and effective. While a bad air hose may cause problems and even cause damage to both machine and human. Thus you should choose a high quality hose to keep safe and effective. Then let me show you some tips to choose a quality rubber air hose.

Hose Diameter and Length

First, determine the right hose diameter and length required for your work. Then consider the airflow, the distance from the air compressor and if your work need the hose to be extremely flexible.

Max Working Pressure

Consider the max working pressure of the hose, which should be suitable for the highest pressure demand of your pneumatic tools. Then ensure that the hose can handle the pressure without burst to keep safety.

Temp Range

Evaluate the temp range in which the rubber air hose will be used. Then choose a hose that can bear the expected temp extreme without becoming brittle or not that flexible.

Hose Material

Consider the special type of rubber used to produce the air hose. Ensure that it is compatible with the factors it will come into contact with such as oil and solvent.

Reinforce

The reinforce is often fibre or steel wire. While it’s to make the hose more strong and durable. Thus check the reinforce layers within the hose to ensure it can bear the pressure in the system.
