Industrial hoses and fittings
Industrial hoses and couplings
Industrial hoses are flexible lines designed for the transfer of liquids, gases, steam, bulk materials and chemical substances. Depending on the medium and working conditions, they differ in construction, inner tube material and the type of textile or steel reinforcement. Proper selection of the industrial hose and couplings ensures tightness, safe operation and long service life of the installation.
Categories of industrial hoses
- For chemicals: hoses resistant to aggressive media, acids and alkalis, often with PTFE lining or EPDM rubber.
- For gases: hoses for technical and industrial gases, resistant to pressure and medium permeation.
- For hot water and steam: high-temperature hoses resistant to pressurized steam.
- For air conditioning: hoses for refrigerants and HVAC systems.
- For abrasive materials: hoses with increased abrasion resistance, used for sand, granulate and abrasive media.
- For oil and fuel: hoses for transporting fuels, mineral oils and petroleum-based products.
- For air: flexible hoses for compressed air applications.
- For food products: hoses compliant with food industry requirements, resistant to fats and cleaning agents.
- For water: hoses for technical and industrial water applications.
- PTFE hoses: hoses with high chemical resistance and a wide temperature range.
Industrial couplings and hose ends
A wide range of couplings and hose ends is used with industrial hoses to provide quick and safe system connection. The most common systems include CAMLOCK, GUILLEMIN, STORZ, PERROT, TW / TANKWAGEN, and hygienic fittings such as SMS, DIN and TRI-CLAMP.
The correct choice of industrial hose end depends on working pressure, medium type and the connection standard used in a given industry. The proper combination of hose and coupling helps minimize leakage risk and ensures compliance with safety requirements.
