INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Piping and Hoses

Piping and hoses are essential components in coolant circulation systems, designed to transport cooling fluids efficiently and safely between system elements.

Component Specifications

Definition
Piping and hoses in coolant circulation systems are engineered conduits that facilitate the controlled flow of coolant fluids (typically water-glycol mixtures or specialized coolants) from the reservoir to heat exchangers, pumps, and machinery components requiring temperature regulation. They maintain system pressure, prevent leaks, and ensure thermal management in industrial applications.
Working Principle
Piping and hoses operate on fluid dynamics principles, utilizing pressure differentials created by pumps to move coolant through closed-loop systems. Rigid piping provides structural support for high-pressure segments, while flexible hoses accommodate vibration, thermal expansion, and movement between connected components, ensuring continuous coolant flow without interruption.
Materials
Materials include stainless steel (AISI 304/316), carbon steel (ASTM A106), PVC, reinforced rubber (EPDM, NBR), and thermoplastic polymers (PTFE, polyurethane). Selection depends on coolant type, temperature range (-40°C to 150°C), pressure requirements (up to 25 bar), and chemical compatibility.
Technical Parameters
  • Diameter 1/4" to 12"
  • Flow Rate 5-500 L/min
  • Burst Pressure ≥4x operating pressure
  • Connection Type Flanged, threaded, quick-disconnect
  • Pressure Rating 10-25 bar
  • Temperature Range -40°C to 150°C
Standards
ISO 15493, ISO 15494, DIN 11850, DIN 2391

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between piping and hoses in coolant systems?

Piping refers to rigid, fixed conduits (typically metal or plastic) used for main coolant lines, while hoses are flexible connections that accommodate movement, vibration, and thermal expansion between components.

How often should coolant hoses be replaced?

Replace every 3-5 years or according to manufacturer guidelines, with regular inspections for cracks, swelling, or leaks every 6 months in high-temperature applications.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
