What properties should a fire hose has
Compared with ordinary PVC pipes, PVC reinforced pipe has the following advantages:
Enhanced flexibility
Structural design
PVC reinforced pipes have plastic ribs embedded in the pipe wall. These ribs play a role of reinforcement and support. This makes the pipe significantly more flexible while maintaining the basic properties of PVC materials.
Actual application performance
Ordinary PVC pipes are relatively hard. Therefore, in some application scenarios that require bending or deflection, they are prone to cracking or breaking. PVC suction hose can be easily bent into various shapes to adapt to complex laying environments. For example, in building decoration, it can be easily laid along corners or other irregular parts. This reduces the use of pipes and thus reduces installation costs.
Higher compressive strength
The addition of plastic ribs enhances the compressive strength of PVC reinforced pipes. Plastic ribs can share the pressure when the pipe is squeezed by external force, thereby effectively preventing the pipe from deforming.
Application scenario advantages
In some occasions that need to withstand a certain pressure, such as water supply and drainage systems, PVC reinforced pipes can withstand higher water pressure without cracking or deformation. In contrast, ordinary PVC pipes may leak or be damaged under high pressure, affecting the normal operation of the system. Therefore, PVC plastic-reinforced pipes are more suitable for use in scenarios where the pipe’s compressive resistance is required to be high.
Better wear resistance
Optimized surface properties
The surface of PVC plastic-reinforced pipes is relatively more wear-resistant due to the reinforcement of plastic ribs. The plastic ribs not only increase the overall strength of the pipe, but also make the surface of the pipe tougher. Therefore, it is not easily scratched or worn by sharp objects.
