Common factors in hose design, include size, weight, length, abrasion resistance, media/chemical compatibility and pressure ratings. Such variables result in flexible hoses and ducts built from a combination of materials such as polyurethane, PVC, nylon-based coated fabrics, glass/high-temperature fabrics, PTFE and others. Our Flexible Hoses have reinforcement structures made of metal-wire/helix, usually galvanised steel or stainless steel to ensure better pressure resistance and hose stiffness while maintaining flexibility and weight.
Common Applications For Flexible hoses and Ducts
Types of Flexible Hoses & Ducts: Masterflex hoses transport air/gasses, vapour, granules and lightweight solids; Typical applications, for Masterflex hoses and ducts, include:
- Grain Hoses for Agricultural applications to transport seeds and other granules or for farms and other feed applications
- Flexible exhaust hoses for extracting engine exhaust gasses
- FDA Food Grade Hoses ideal for medicine & pharmaceutical applications
- Gravel Hoses for Gravel, Sand, Stone
- Hoses for the Plastics Industry (Plastic Granules, Heaters)
- Woodworking Dust extraction hoses for use in fire risk areas
