Basic performance of slurry hose
High wear resistance
During the mud transportation process, the hose rubs violently with solid particles, rocks, etc. Therefore, wear resistance is an important indicator of hose quality. Pay attention to the wear coefficient to ensure the longevity of the hose.
High pressure resistant
During the mud transportation process, the hose needs to withstand the impact of high pressure. Stress resistance is therefore crucial. When selecting, pay attention to the compressive strength and burst pressure of the hose. Make sure it works properly in high-pressure environments.
Flexible
The slurry hose needs to be bent and twisted during work. Thus it must be flexible. You can test that through bending experiments to ensure that it is not easily damaged in actual work.
Anti-aging properties
When used outdoors for a long time, UV and oxygen will affect the hose. While they can cause aging problem. Therefore, choosing a hose with good anti-aging property can extend its service life.
Easy to clean and maintain
After the slurry deliver, a large amount of sediment will remain in the hose. Thus you should choose a hose that is easy to clean. Because this can save you a lot of time and effort. At the same time, consider the maintenance cost and replacement cycle of the hose to reduce the overall cost of use.
Material of mud conveying hose
Rubber material
Rubber hose has excellent wear and pressure resistance. Besides, it is flexible. However, with the growth of technology, rubber pipe has limitations in terms of aging and high temp resistance. In addition, rubber hoses are susceptible to chemical attack during use. This not only affect its performance, but also reduce its service life.
Polyurethane material
PU hose has high wear and pressure resistance with excellent anti-aging property. Compared with rubber hose, PU hose has better high temp and wear resistance. However, its production process is complex and the cost is high.
Polyolefin material
Polyolefin hose has excellent pressure resistance, anti-aging property and low cost. However, it is slightly lacking in wear resistance. Therefore, it is only suitable for occasions that do not require high wear resistance.
