Introduction to PU Braided Hoses

Introduction to PU Braided Hoses PU braided hoses, also known as PU braided air hoses, combine polyurethane (PU) with high-strength fibers to create a high-performance hose. These hoses offer exceptional elasticity, pressure resistance, wear resistance, and weather resistance, making them ideal for various industrial and commercial applications. For example, TPUCO PU braided hoses feature an outer layer of 85 Shore A TPU and an inner layer of 90 Shore A TPU. The recommended operating temperature ranges from -20℃ to 70℃ (-4℉ to 165℉), with a working pressure of up to 12.5 KG/cm². In more demanding environments requiring higher temperature and pressure resistance, TPUCO nylon braided hoses and TPUCO high-pressure hoses are also widely used.
 

Key Features of PU Braided Hoses

• Outstanding Low-Temperature Elasticity: PU braided hoses maintain excellent elasticity even in low-temperature environments, remaining flexible without becoming hard or brittle, making them suitable for cold working conditions.
• Superior Pressure Resistance: Thanks to the internal braided reinforcement, PU braided hoses have much higher-pressure resistance than non-braided PU hoses, capable of withstanding higher working pressures.
• High-Quality Materials: Manufactured using 100% new raw materials, these hoses ensure superior quality and long service life.
• Excellent Weather and Wear Resistance: PU braided hoses offer exceptional weather resistance, tear resistance, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance, performing well even in harsh environments.

 

Applications of PU Braided Hoses

PU braided hoses are suitable for the following applications:

• Transporting Abrasive Powders
• Pneumatic Tools
• Granule Transfer
• Lubrication Oil Pipes
• Oil Well Pipes
• Cable Sheathing

 

Usage Precautions for PU Braided Hoses

Avoid using quick connectors for pressure testing with PU braided hoses. Using quick connectors for pressure testing may cause air or liquid to seep through the gaps in the braided layer, compromising the reinforcement fibers and leading to hose wall rupture (see Image 1). Quick connectors should be only used with non-braided hoses such as PU, PE, or NYLON hoses (see Image 2). Image 1: Using quick connectors for pressure testing with braided hoses may cause the outer hose to burst. Image 2: Correct usage with PU, PE, or NYLON hoses.
