Description
A hose is a flexible tube used to transport various types of liquids, gases, or air. It is usually made of rubber, plastic, polyurethane, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Hoses are used as very important materials in various industrial, agricultural, household, and construction works. Hoses are used for water supply, gas connection, fire extinguishing, chemical transportation in factories, and irrigation systems. The type and material of hoses vary according to the purpose of use.
For example, fire hoses are usually made of rubber capable of withstanding high pressure, while garden hoses are light and flexible so that they can be used easily. The length, diameter, and pressure tolerance of the hose are determined for different tasks. Choosing the right hose increases the quality of work and reduces accidents. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential when using hoses, so that cracks, holes, or corrosion can be prevented.
