Although the selection of the hose seems to be a very simple action, it has become seriously complicated with the increase in product diversity thanks to the developing materials and production technologies. Hoses, in which all solid, liquid and gaseous materials can be transported quickly, are not the main raw material, but they are definitely used in the production process of almost everything you see around you.
Even when it is used in so many areas, the selection of products suitable for the purpose is of serious importance in hoses and the useful life becomes more important than its economy.
In this regard, before ordering a product, you must convey the correct information to your sales representative. So what is this information?
- Diameter: First of all, you need to know the inner diameter of the hose you need. Generally, using "millimeter" as a unit of measurement will prevent possible errors.
- Length : Length information in “cm” or “mt”
- Content: Information on the material that will pass through the product, detailed information should be given for products in the chemical group.
- Temperature : The maximum temperature information to which the inner or outer surface of the product will be exposed.
- Pressure : Continuous usage and maximum pressure information in the circuit to which the product will be connected.
- Vacuum: If the product is to be used in the suction circuit, it must be specified.
- Bend radius: The bending radius information you need for hoses to be used in moving areas
- Abrasion: If the product that will pass through the hose has abrasiveness (sand, sugar, cement, etc.), you should definitely notify your sales representative.
Due to competitive market conditions, considering only the economy when choosing a product may cause you to repurchase cheap products in a shorter time than necessary, increase your maintenance costs or damage the material you carry due to the unsuitability of the hose.
For this reason, we should use “Fit for Purpose” hose where we need it, without saying it's cheap or expensive. As Tuzla Hortum family, we are happy to respect our work and share our knowledge and experience with you whenever you need it.
