11. Structure & Materials (Technical Deep Dive)

Inner Tube Layer

• Material: EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), NBR, or PVC

• Properties: Excellent water resistance, smooth bore for minimal friction loss, non-toxic options for potable water

• Hardness: 70±5 Shore A

Reinforcement Layer (Critical for Pressure Rating)

• Wire Braided Hose: 1 or 2 layers of high-tensile steel wire braided at 54° angle. Ideal for medium-pressure hydraulic and water applications (up to 5000 psi).

• Wire Spiral Hose: 4 or 6 layers of alternating spiral-wound steel wire. Superior for ultra-high pressure applications (up to 6000 psi) and heavy-duty impulse conditions.

• Textile Braid: Polyester or rayon yarn for low-pressure suction/discharge hoses.

Cover Layer

• Material: CR (chloroprene), SBR, or EPDM compounds

• Properties: Abrasion-resistant, ozone-proof, UV-stabilized

• Colors: Black (standard), blue, red, yellow, or custom (OEM ODM)

• Finish: Smooth, pin-pricked (for gas venting), or wrapped finish

Fittings & Hose Assembly Options

• Crimped fittings: Permanent attachment using hydraulic crimping machines. Provides 100% hose tensile strength.

• Reusable fittings: Screw-on design for field repairs. Ideal for mining and offshore applications.

• Adapters: NPT, JIC, ORFS, BSP, and flange connections

• Flanges: SAE split flange (Code 61/62) for large-bore hoses
