Air Hose Smooth Surface 300PSI
Product Overview
Air Hose Smooth Surface 300PSI is a flexible, wire braided rubber air hose designed for workshop and industrial compressed air systems. Rated at 300 PSI (20 bar) continuous working pressure and 900 PSI (60 bar) burst pressure (4:1 safety factor), this hose operates reliably from -30°C to +80°C. The smooth surface cover – made of rubber or TPR – resists oil, abrasion, and dirt buildup, making it easy to clean and maintain. Ideal for pneumatic tools, spray painting lines, and compressed air distribution. PDF datasheet and bulk factory pricing available upon request.

Structure & Materials
- Inner Tube: Smooth synthetic rubber (or NBR/PVC). Oil-resistant and non-permeable.
- Reinforcement: 1 or 2 plies of high-tensile polyester thread braiding – a wire braided hose construction optimized for 300 PSI flexibility.
- Outer Cover: Smooth rubber or TPR. Resists oil, abrasion, ozone, and weathering.
Braided vs. Spiral Hose – When to Choose Which?
For 300 PSI air and water applications, a wire braided hose (polyester braid) offers better flexibility and bend radius than a wire spiral hose. Spiral hoses are designed for much higher pressures (4,000 PSI+) and high-impulse hydraulic systems. Our Air Hose Smooth Surface 300PSI uses a textile braid – lighter, more flexible, and more cost-effective for pneumatic service.
How to Calculate Air Hose Diameter for Your Tool
Selecting the correct inside diameter (ID) ensures optimal tool performance. Use this formula:
Q = A × v = (π × d² / 4) × v
Where:
- Q = Air flow (CFM or m³/min)
- d = Hose inside diameter (inches or mm)
- v = Air velocity (ft/min or m/s)
Practical guide:
- 3/8″ (9.5mm) ID: Suitable for light-duty tools (5–8 CFM) up to 30 ft line length
- 1/2″ (12.7mm) ID: Most common size for workshops (10–15 CFM tools)
- 3/4″ (19.1mm) ID: For main distribution lines or high-consumption tools (20–30 CFM)
- 1″ (25.4mm) ID: For long runs (over 150 ft) or multiple simultaneous users
Comparison: Smooth Surface vs. Ribbed Air Hose
| Feature | Smooth Surface (This Product) | Ribbed Surface |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning ease | Excellent – wipe clean | Difficult – dirt traps in grooves |
| Drag resistance | Low – glides over surfaces | High – ribs create friction |
| Abrasion resistance | Good (with TPR cover) | Moderate |
| Flexibility | High | Medium |
| Cost | Competitive | Often higher |
| Best application | Clean workshops, painting booths | Rough construction sites |
