Hose Assembly

Hose assembly is the process of putting together hose, hose connectors, hose ends, and hose nozzles into complete assemblies. Hose assemblies are used in water, hydraulic, and pneumatic applications for machinery, equipment, and processing lines.

A hose is a hollow tube, are also sometimes called pipes (the word pipe usually refers to a rigid tube, whereas a hose is usually a flexible one), or more generally tubing, which is a common kind of tube widely used in daily application. It designed to carry fluids from one location to another. The shape of a hose is usually cylindrical (having a circular cross section). Hoses are made from one or a combination of many different materials. Applications mostly use nylon, polyurethane, polyethylene, PVC, or synthetic or natural rubbers, based on the environment and pressure rating needed. In recent years, hoses can also be manufactured from special grades of polyethylene (LDPE and especially LLDPE). Other hose materials include PTFE (Teflon), stainless steel and other metals.
