High-pressure cylinders are an important device for storing and transporting gas. They are widely used in petroleum, chemical, medical, food and other industries. As a key component connecting cylinders and equipment, the selection and application of materials for high-pressure cylinder hoses are particularly important.
Metal materials
Metal hoses mainly include stainless steel, copper, aluminum, etc. Stainless steel hoses have high strength, corrosion resistance and temperature resistance. Therefore, they are suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, and highly corrosive media transmission. However, metal connecting hoses are heavy, so installation and maintenance are relatively complicated. In addition, the cost is high.
Non-metallic materials
Non-metallic connecting hoses mainly include rubber, plastic, silicone, etc. They are light in weight, simple to install and maintain, and low in cost. However, the strength and temperature resistance of non-metallic materials are relatively low. Therefore, they are not suitable for high temp, high pressure and highly corrosive media. Typical non-metallic hoses are oxygen hose and acetylene hose
Composite materials
Composite hose combines metal and non-metal materials. Besides, composite hoses have high strength, corrosion and temp resistance. At the same time, they are light in weight and simple to install and maintain. Composite connecting hoses are increasingly widely used in the field of high-pressure cylinders.
