What is Steelwire Reinforced Hose?
As PVC flexible tubing is increasingly used across various industries, its limitations have also become more apparent. For example, its flexibility decreases in low-temperature environments, and prolonged, frequent bending can lead to fatigue and cracking—especially under high loads or with tight bending radii. Standard, non-reinforced PVC tubing is not suitable for high-pressure systems, as it is prone to collapsing or bursting.
Steelwire Reinforced Hose is a flexible hose that contains a spiral steel wire embedded within its structure. This steel wire reinforcement pvc tubing provides enhanced strength, allowing the hose to withstand higher pressures and resist collapsing under vacuum or bending. Other common base materials for steel wire reinforced hoses include PU (polyurethane), and rubber.These bendy hoses are commonly used for transferring water, air, oil, and various chemicals in industrial, agricultural, and construction applications due to their durability, flexibility, and resistance to kinking.
Advantages and Disadvantages compare common pvc tube
Enhancement point
Steelwire bendy reinforced pipes have higher pressure resistance and vacuum resistance, enabling them to withstand medium to high pressure and negative pressure environments. They also offer enhanced tensile and impact resistance, extending their service life. Their structure prevents kinking and collapse during repeated bending, maintaining smooth flow. The spiral steel wire compression increases the rigidity of the hose wall and improves wear resistance, making them suitable for various demanding conditions.
Shortcomings
Although steel wire reinforced hoses offer excellent pressure and vacuum resistance, they also have some drawbacks. Their flexibility is relatively poor, with a larger minimum bending radius, making them unsuitable for tight spaces or frequent sharp bends. The steel wire structure increases the overall weight, making handling and installation more labor-intensive and requiring stronger support systems. Additionally, the manufacturing cost is higher, leading to increased maintenance expenses. The steel reinforcement can also hinder internal cleaning efficiency, especially when transporting high-viscosity media or in applications requiring frequent sanitation. If the steel wire is not properly treated for corrosion resistance, it may rust in humid or chemical environments, reducing the hose's service life.
