What Is A PVC Lay Flat Hose?

The PVC flat hose is made of polyester filament, which is finely woven and plastic PVC coated on both sides. The general specifications and models are type 4, type 6, type 8, type 10, red, blue, white, etc. It can be used in agricultural irrigation. It has strong resistance to scratches and damage, and it has high corrosion resistance, so it is usually used in sewage operations. In general, the application fields of PVC flat hoses are very wide.

Correct Use Of PVC Layflat Hoses

When laying the hose, avoid clamping sharp objects and various oils. When placing the hose vertically to a high place, special hose hooks should be used; when laying the hose on the main road, the water should be buffered. Belts to protect the bridge; when crossing the railway, the hose should pass under the track to avoid crushing by the wheels and intermittent water supply.

How To Choose A High-Quality Flat PVC Water Hose

We must first understand what a qualified PVC layflat hose looks like, and then we will know how to select it. Generally speaking, the plastic-coated hose should meet the production regulations of the relevant industry standards, and the thickness should be above 1.5mm. The pressure of the agricultural plastic-coated hose should be above 0.6 MPa, the surface is smooth, and there should be no broken fibers, warping, loose warpage, internal and external grooves, plastic removal holes, nor coating impurities. The weight of the water pipe needs to be guaranteed to be more than 0.5kg, and the water hose must not be damaged during handling and unloading during transportation. 

So, according to the above qualification criteria, how do we choose a high-quality PVC layflat hose?

(1) Look at its color and smell. The hose should be bought well. When choosing a red hose or a blue hose, the more intuitive quality reflection is its color and smell. The better the color, the brighter the smell and the lighter the smell.

(2) Look at its hose line. The red water hose and the blue water hose are generally woven with polyester filaments. This filament is composed of multiple filaments, so from the perspective of the filament structure, whether the online thickness and weaving density can also see the quality of the water hose, weaving The thicker the wire, the greater the pressure resistance.

(3) Measure the quality of its hose. It was found that the inner wall of the hose was overturned, and the quality of the broken rope was obviously white; the better the quality of the hose, the less obvious the scratches on the surface of the hose.

To sum up, plastic-coated hoses are very popular in agriculture, industry, engineering drainage and other fields. Correct usage and high-quality hoses are the keys to improving water delivery efficiency and drainage operation efficiency. Therefore, high-quality plastic-coated hoses should be carefully selected.
