Author: hostarticles | Posted: 22.05.2012

A connector that connects or couples two hosepipes or the end of a hose with a tap is called hose coupling. This technology is most common in irrigation sprinklers. Different types of materials are used for manufacturing hose couplings. Those materials are steel, stainless steel, brass, plastic and aluminum. According to different needs, hose couplings are classified in many categories. Air king is one of the categories. This is regarded as the universal hose coupling and is normally seen in jackhammers. Second category is cam and groove. This is a fluid transfer hose coupling. Ground joint is another category in this arena. This type of hose coupling is mainly used in the compressed air or steam system. Besides the above-mentioned three categories, there are several other types of hose couplings available for different purposes. Hose link, hozelock, storz are few of them to name here.

This part of the article will give you a brief about chemical hose. As the name suggests, this type of hose is manufactured using chemicals, mostly synthetic rubber. The lining of these hose is made up of modified synthetic rubber. The chemical hose are strong and long life. These hose has the capacity to withstand a wide range of temperature, from 40°C to 70°C. These hose have good ageing and abrasion resistance capacity. Because of the special characteristics and features, these hose find its application in transfer of mineral acids and alkalis and the aqueous solution of inorganic salts. Many manufacturers worldwide manufacture chemical hose. These manufacturers are in this field for many years. Their professional expertise has made them earn the place where they are now. These manufacturers have great name and fame in this field.
