töövooliku

Töövoolik is an Estonian term that translates to "work hose" or "industrial hose." It refers to a flexible tube used to convey fluids or gases in a variety of industrial, agricultural, and construction applications. These hoses are designed to withstand specific pressures, temperatures, and chemical environments, distinguishing them from general-purpose hoses.

The construction of a töövoolik typically involves multiple layers. An inner tube made of synthetic rubber, plastic, or metal carries the fluid. Reinforcement layers, such as braided textile fibers, steel wire, or helical wire, provide strength and resistance to pressure. The outer cover protects the hose from abrasion, weathering, and chemical exposure.

Töövoolik is used in numerous sectors. In construction, they are employed for water supply, concrete pumping, and pneumatic tool operation. Agriculture utilizes them for irrigation, chemical spraying, and milk transfer. Industrial applications include conveying chemicals, fuels, steam, hydraulic fluid, and air in manufacturing plants and workshops.

The selection of a töövoolik depends on its intended use. Key factors include the type of fluid or gas being transported, operating pressure, temperature range, chemical compatibility, and environmental conditions. Proper maintenance, including regular inspection for wear and tear, is crucial to ensure safety and operational efficiency.
