Hoses are widely used in many fields and scenarios. The following are the main application scenarios of hoses in different fields:
Home life scenarios
Water supply and drainage: The faucet at home is connected to the water inlet pipe of the water heater or toilet, and many of the drain pipes of the sink and bathtub are hoses. For example, the drain hose under the sink can drain the water for washing vegetables and dishes into the sewer, and it can be bent and easily installed in different positions.
Gas transportation: The gas hose is generally used to connect the gas water heater, gas stove and gas pipeline, which can safely transport gas from the pipeline to the gas equipment, so that we can cook and take a bath normally.
Gardening watering: Rubber or plastic watering hoses are used to water flowers and vegetables in the yard or on the balcony. Connecting it to the faucet, you can easily water the flowers, plants and trees, and you can also move it to the place where you need to water it.
Industrial production scenarios
Chemical fluid transportation: In chemical plants, hoses are often used to transport various chemical liquids and gases. For example, the produced chemical raw materials are transported from one reactor to another storage tank, or highly corrosive liquids are transported to processing equipment.
Mechanical lubrication system: In some large mechanical equipment, it is necessary to regularly add lubricants to each component to reduce wear. Lubricating hoses are responsible for transporting lubricants from oil stations to various parts of the equipment that need lubrication so that the equipment can operate normally.
Construction: On construction sites, concrete delivery hoses can transport concrete from mixer trucks or mixers to places where it needs to be poured, such as pouring floors and foundations of high-rise buildings, and can flexibly deliver concrete to designated locations to improve construction efficiency.
Energy and chemical industry: In the oil and gas industry, composite hoses have become key equipment for onshore and offshore operations. For example, the oil pipeline of Bohai Oilfield uses a multi-layer composite hose with an inner lining of polyurethane material to resist sulfide corrosion in crude oil, a middle stainless steel wire braided layer to withstand high pressure, and an outer polyester fiber to enhance wear resistance.
Ship and port operations: In the field of international shipping, composite hoses are rewriting the traditional mode of liquid cargo loading and unloading. For example, the LNG receiving station at Shanghai Yangshan Port uses composite hoses for ship-to-shore transmission to ensure the safe delivery of liquefied natural gas.
Automotive related scenarios
Fuel delivery: There is a fuel hose in the fuel system of the car, which is responsible for delivering the oil in the tank to the engine to ensure that the car has enough power to run.
Cooling system: When the car engine is working, a lot of heat is generated, and a cooling system is needed to cool it down. The cooling hose transports the coolant from the water tank to the engine, and then sends the heated coolant back to the water tank for cooling.
Braking system: The brake hose is an important part of the car's braking system. It connects the master brake cylinder and the brake cylinder on the wheel. When you step on the brake, the brake fluid transmits pressure through the brake hose, allowing the brake cylinder to work, so that the brake pads of the wheel hold the brake disc tightly, thereby stopping the car.
