5 Types of Chemical Hose

Chemical hose, also known as transfer hoses, are made of materials that resist chemical damage. They are commonly used for applications such as transferring acids, solvents, and petroleum products to or from storage containers in industrial plants, spraying pesticides, fertilizers, and paint, and pumping chemicals and fluids. Bulk chemical hoses can be cut to the desired length and compatible hose fittings can be added to the ends of the hoses to create custom hose assemblies.

High Precision Chemical Hose - Flexible 10mm

For applications requiring the highest level of precision and safety, Eaton offers flexible 10mm chemical hose. These hoses are made from high-quality compounded rubbers and four layers of braided nylon. The hoses are then machined to maintain critical tolerances. They are FDA approved and resist alcohols, acids, and oxidizing agents.

Flexible 12mm Chemical Hose

For more demanding applications, this hose is made from a compound that is highly resistant to many chemicals. This hose is ideal for spraying pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in agriculture, horticultural and industrial, as well as fertilizers in the marine, marine, and environmental industries. It is a kink-resistant hose that has a high degree of flexibility for ease of handling and mounting on quad bikes.

Steam Hose - To an extent, this is the most comprehensive category of industrial hose. The hose can be made from EPDM, Nitrile, or Chlorobutyl for oil-resistant uses.

The hose is usually rated to handle either saturated steam temperatures of 406degF or superheated steam temperatures of 450degF depending on the application. It can also be used to transport hot oil and gas.

Welding Hose – Another important product in this category, the welding hose is rated to either Grade T or Grade R for greater or less resistance to oil. The hose is often bundled with fittings, and can be installed as twin-line in a welding system.

Material Handling Hose – This is a common type of industrialhose and is used to convey powders, pellets or granular products by pneumatic conveying systems. This product is used extensively by concrete plants, vacuum trucks, concrete plants, sandblasters, mulch sprayers, and sand blasters.
