Sand & Grit Blasting Rubber Hose

Application:

Sand Blasting Hose for conveying sand, shots or other abrasive materials used in ordnance factory, steel fabrication, shipyards, manufacturing workshops, heavy engineering industries, Gas cylinder manufacturing units etc.

Lining : Uniform seamless tube of natural/synthetic/blend rubber compound of high tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance and free from air blister, porosity and other defects

Reinforcement : Plies of rubber impregnated woven textile or braiding of high strength natural/synthetic fibre.

Cover : Suitable rubber compound of cloth marked finish resistant to abrasion and weather.

Electric Bonding :; A strand of copper wire is embedded between the reinforcement plies to provide electrical continuity throughout the length of the hose

Pressures: Type 1 - W. P. 0.7 MPa & B. P. 3.5MPa. Type 2 - W. P. 1.0 MPa & B. P. 5.0MPa

Here are some features and characteristics of a typical sandblasting rubber hose:

1. Construction: Sandblasting rubber hoses are typically constructed with a durable inner rubber tube, reinforcement layers, and an outer rubber cover. The inner tube is designed to withstand the abrasive materials and provide a smooth flow for the blasting media. Reinforcement layers, usually made of high-strength synthetic fibers or steel wire, provide strength and resistance to pressure. The outer cover acts as a protective layer against external factors like abrasion, weathering, and impact.

2. Abrasion Resistance: The inner tube and outer cover of a sandblasting rubber hose are engineered to resist abrasion caused by the high-velocity abrasive particles present in sandblasting operations. This abrasion resistance ensures a longer lifespan for the hose, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

3. Pressure Resistance: Sandblasting processes involve high-pressure delivery of abrasive materials, such as sand, grit, or steel shot. A sandblasting rubber hose is designed to withstand these high pressures to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of the blasting media.

4. Flexibility: Despite their robust construction, sandblasting rubber hoses offer flexibility to facilitate ease of movement during blasting operations. This flexibility allows operators to maneuver the hose around the work area without excessive strain or kinking.

5. Static Dissipation: Static electricity can build up during sandblasting processes, which can be hazardous. Some sandblasting rubber hoses are designed with static dissipating properties to prevent static electricity buildup, ensuring operator safety.

6. Couplings and Fittings: Sandblasting rubber hoses often come with specific couplings or fittings that are compatible with sandblasting equipment. These connections ensure a secure and leak-free attachment between the hose and the sandblasting equipment.

It's important to note that different sandblasting applications may require hoses with specific specifications or certifications. When selecting a sandblasting rubber hose, it's essential to consider factors such as the desired hose diameter, length, pressure rating, and compatibility with the abrasive media being used.

Proper maintenance and regular inspection of the sandblasting rubber hose are also crucial to ensure its safe and effective performance over time.
