PVC Fiber Reinforced Hose: Technical Overview
Structure: Multi-layer wall (PVC inner & outer tube + high strength synthetic polyester reinforcement yarn) via extrusion and high-temperature bonding.
Strength/Weight Ratio: Up to 40% lighter than rubber equivalent at same pressure rating.
Standard Compliance: Certified under ISO 9001:2015, FDA food-grade, and RoHS for environmental safety.
4. Where Fiber Reinforced Hose Excels: Industry Applications
PVC Fiber Reinforced Hose is preferred for water/air conveyance in food & beverage (FDA certified), lab supply, agriculture (pesticide/irrigation), petrochemical plants (safe hydrocarbon transfer), and metallurgy for coolant lines.
Wire reinforced PVC hose: Suction/discharge for oil, solids, and abrasive slurries in mining & municipal utilities.
Fiber reinforced PVC: Versatile for oxygen transfer, compressed air, general chemicals—low migration equals superior purity.
Application Case Study: Water Treatment Facility (Germany 2023)
Scenario:
For the upgrade of a municipal water plant, PVC fiber reinforced hose (ID 25mm, 10 bar WP) replaced conventional rubber hoses in low-pressure chemical dosing lines.
Outcome:
Maintenance intervals lengthened by 75% (from 9 months to 36+ months)
Reduced system downtime by 42% via quick-connect couplers enabled by excellent hose flexibility
Chemical leakage dropped to zero due to resistive triple wall structure validated by ISO 1402:2019 burst tests
Post-adoption feedback: “Zero failures, improved cost-efficiency—new standard for our entire group.” — Plant Operations Manager, Heidelberg

8. Fiber Reinforced Hose – Technical FAQ
Q1: What materials are used in PVC fiber reinforced hose? A1: Virgin polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for tube/cover, and industrial-grade high-tenacity polyester yarn for reinforcement. This ensures lightweight structure yet high burst strengths.
Q2: How is the pressure rating determined? A2: Pressure ratings (3–18 bar) depend on wall thickness, reinforcement density, and test protocols per ISO 1402. For critical use, qualification with 3x working pressure is standard.
Q3: What standard fittings are compatible? A3: Universal compatibility with BSP/NPT/G-thread barbs, Camlock, quick-release couplers, and DIN/ANSI flanges—with custom crimping available.
Q4: How do you ensure chemical resistance? A4: Through compound selection, reinforced hoses resist a wide spectrum of acids, bases, alcohols, and hydrocarbons, as validated by ASTM D471 immersion tests and internal QA labs.
Q5: What are the recommended installation tolerances? A5: Maintain a bend radius ≥4x hose ID, avoid sharp kinks, and follow ISO 6134 installation guidelines for pressurized systems.
Q6: Are food-grade and high-transparency options available? A6: Yes—formulations meet FDA & EU standards for potable water/food lines and high-clarity options can be specified for visual flow monitoring.
Q7: How is the product traceability ensured? A7: Each batch is laser-coded (date, lot, spec), and test certificates (ISO/EN) are provided for full upstream traceability including material origin.
