Druckschläuche

Druckschläuche, often translated as pressure hoses or reinforced hoses, are flexible conduits designed to transport fluids or gases under pressure. They are constructed from multiple layers of materials to withstand internal pressure and external forces. The inner tube is typically made of a material resistant to the fluid being conveyed, such as rubber or synthetic polymers. This is often reinforced with one or more layers of braided or spiraled wire, textile cords, or other high-strength materials. An outer cover, usually made of rubber or a durable polymer, protects the hose from abrasion, ozone, and weathering.

The primary function of druckschläuche is to safely convey substances like water, oil, air, hydraulic fluids, and chemicals under conditions where rigid piping might be impractical or impossible. They are essential components in a wide range of applications, including industrial machinery, construction equipment, automotive systems, agricultural implements, and in domestic settings for tasks such as pressure washing. The specific design and materials used for a druckschlauch are determined by the pressure rating, the type of fluid, the operating temperature, and the environmental conditions. Safety standards and regulations often dictate the construction and testing of these hoses to ensure reliable and safe operation.
