Description
The SANDBLAST HOSE briging is a robust and durable hose designed for the suction and discharge of mud, slurries, and other abrasive materials commonly used in dredging, mining, construction, and drilling operations. This hose is built to handle heavy-duty applications where flexibility, abrasion resistance, and high suction capacity are essential.
1. Construction
- Inner Tube: The inner tube is made from synthetic rubber (SBR or NBR), designed to be resistant to abrasion, mud, slurries, and other abrasive or corrosive materials. This ensures smooth flow and longevity even under tough conditions.
- Reinforcement: The hose is reinforced with multiple layers of high-tensile synthetic textile plies and a steel wire helix. This combination provides excellent structural integrity, prevents kinking, and enhances the hose’s suction capabilities.
- Outer Cover: The outer cover is made from synthetic rubber resistant to weathering, oil, abrasion, and ozone. This durable cover protects the hose from external damage, making it suitable for rugged environments.
2. Standard Sizes
- Inner Diameter: Available in sizes ranging from 2 inches (50mm) to 12 inches (300mm), depending on the required flow rate and application.
- Length: Standard lengths range from 10 to 40 meters, with custom lengths available for specific operational needs.
3. Working Pressure
- The Mud Suction Hose is designed for medium- to high-pressure applications, with working pressures typically ranging from 10 to 20 bars (145 to 290 psi), depending on the size and construction of the hose.
4. Vacuum Rating
- This hose has excellent suction capabilities, with a vacuum rating of up to 90% of full vacuum (typically measured in inches of mercury, Hg), allowing for efficient suction of dense, heavy materials without collapsing.
5. Temperature Range
- The hose is capable of operating in temperatures from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), making it suitable for various climates and harsh working conditions.
6. Performance Characteristics
- Abrasion Resistance: The inner tube is highly resistant to abrasive materials, ensuring long-term durability when handling mud, slurries, and other coarse substances.
- Suction Strength: The steel wire helix reinforcement allows the hose to handle high suction pressures without collapsing, making it ideal for vacuum applications.
- Flexibility: Despite its robust construction, the hose maintains flexibility, allowing for easy handling and installation, even in tight spaces or complex layouts.
- Durability: The outer cover is resistant to wear and tear, protecting the hose from environmental factors such as sunlight, oil spills, and physical abrasion during use.
7. Applications
- Ideal for use in dredging, construction, mining, and drilling operations, where it is necessary to suction or discharge mud, slurry, sand, or other abrasive materials.
- Commonly used in oilfield mud handling, drainage operations, sewage systems, and industrial waste removal.
- Suitable for connecting to pumps and vacuum systems for efficient mud suction and discharge.
8. End Fittings
- The hose can be equipped with various end fittings, including flanges, quick-connect couplings, or camlock fittings, depending on the application and system requirements. These fittings are typically made from corrosion-resistant materials, such as galvanized steel or stainless steel, to ensure durability in abrasive environments.
