What are the characteristics of hoses? Do hoses corrode?

Author:


Mainly divided by purpose: flexible hoses for threading, drainage hoses, ventilation hoses, shower hoses, and harness tubes. A common type is the one used in bathrooms, which is the shower hose. What are the characteristics of flexible hoses? Do flexible hoses corrode? I believe everyone is interested in understanding this, so below I will give a brief introduction.

What are the characteristics of flexible hoses?

Flexible hoses are important components in modern industry. They are mainly used as protective tubes for wires and cables, as well as for automation instrument signal wires and civilian shower hoses, with specifications ranging from 3mm to 150mm. Small diameter hoses (inner diameter 3mm-25mm) are mainly used for protecting sensor lines in optical scales and industrial sensors. According to the editor of Jiu Zheng Pipe Network, the main characteristics of flexible hoses are as follows:

1. Flexible between pitches.

2. Good elasticity, no blockage and rigidity.

3. Lightweight, good consistency in diameter.

4. Good softness, repeated bending, and flexibility.

5. Good corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance.

6. Resistant to rodent bites, good wear resistance, preventing internal wires from being worn.

7. Strong resistance to bending, tensile strength, and lateral pressure.

8. Soft and smooth, easy to install and position wires.

Do flexible hoses corrode?

Metal reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to form an oxide film on the surface. The iron oxide formed on ordinary carbon steel continues to oxidize, causing rust to expand and form holes. Paint or oxidation-resistant metals (such as zinc, nickel, and chromium) can be used for electroplating to protect the surface of carbon steel. However, as is well known, this protection is only a thin film. If the protective layer is damaged, the underlying steel will begin to rust.
