Definition of Wire Spiral Hose

Wire spiral hose is a sturdy hose designed for higher pressure and higher impulse applications than braided hose. This is because it is a stiffer hose with a smaller bend radius. This makes it stronger than its braided counterpart, but results in less routing flexibility. Braided hoses flex and bend too much for high impulse applications; the hose will essentially break and fail sooner.

Benefits of Wire Spiral Hose

Wire spiral hose is a new type of composite pipe. The pipe wall is wound with steel wire to form a spiral pattern, which can not only reduce frictional resistance and steel consumption, but also can reduce the leakage of medium in the pipeline and increase the wear resistance. At the same time, the hose can withstand greater internal and external pressure, which effectively improves the safety and reliability of the pipeline.
1. Wire spiral hose is a new type of composite pipe that is resistant to high temperature, oil and corrosion.

2. The inner layer of the wire spiral hose is a metal layer, and the outer layer is a pvc coating, which has excellent mechanical properties and anti-aging properties.

3. Wire spiral hose has high bearing capacity and good fatigue resistance.

4. The wire spiral hose can be bent arbitrarily and adapted to different working environments.

5. The service life can reach more than 50 years (using high temperature resistant coating).

6. It can reduce the requirements of the pipeline system on the medium pressure and temperature, reduce the loss of the pipeline system and improve the flow and pressure efficiency.

How to Put a Hose on a Wire Spiral Hose Reel?

Any wire spiral hose will eventually need to be replaced. When the hose begins to dribble and leak, there is a good likelihood it has developed cracks, or that its connections are no longer sealing correctly. When this happens, your best bet is to replace the hose with one of the new types made of supple, quality materials. While wire spiral hoses can be repaired it's usually better to discard the old hose and install a new one. To remove the old hose from your wire spiral hose reel and install a new one:

Step 1
Disconnect the hose reel from the faucet spigot. Inspect the hose spigot to see if it has a vacuum breaker attachment on it. If not, now is the time to install one.
Move the hose reel to a driveway or somewhere on your lawn where water draining out of the hose won't be a problem. As you remove the old hose, the water inside the hose will flow out.
When the hose is fully extended, the water coupling on the inner drum will be visible inside the hose reel. Disconnect the hose from this coupling, by hand, if possible. Or use adjustable pliers to do this.
Unpack the new hose and straighten it out to eliminate the bends. Here is one time when placing the hose in the sun may help, as it will soften the hose and make it more pliable and easier to wind onto the hose reel.
If you are replacing your hose reel at this time too, now is the time to assemble it.

Step 2
On the female end of the new wire spiral hose, insert the rubber or vinyl washer into the bottom of the hose coupling. This will provide the watertight seal against the coupling on the drum of the hose reel.
If the hose reel has a guide opening on it, insert the female end of the hose through the guide opening.

Step 3
Thread the female end of the hose onto the water coupling on the inner drum of the hose reel. Tighten it firmly with channel-type pliers, but take care not to tighten so much that you strip the threads or break the parts. The water coupling is a plastic part, and it can be damaged if you exert too much force.

Step 4
Begin to wind the hose onto the drum of the reel, taking pains to feed the hose back and forth across the drum in even coils. Normally, this requires clockwise rotations of the reel handle. Gripping the hose with one hand as you turn the reel handle with the other may help.
If you are installing the hose onto an electric hose reel, push the retraction button to wind the hose onto the reel.

Step 5
Inspect the feeder hose that connects the hose reel to the faucet spigot. Make sure it is in good condition, without kinks or cracks.
If the feeder hose uses female couplings, inspect the couplings to make sure they include rubber or vinyl washers that are in good shape.
If the feeder hose attaches to the hose reel drum with a hose clamp, inspect it to make sure it is tightly clamped down around the nipple on the drum.

How to Store Wire Spiral Hose?

1. The storage warehouse should be kept clean and ventilated, and the relative temperature should be lower than 80%. The temperature in the warehouse should be kept between -15 and +40°C, and the wire spiral hose should be protected from direct sunlight and rain and snow.
2. When storing, it should be placed according to different varieties and specifications, do not mix and stack, and have signs for reference.
3. It should be stored in a relaxed state as much as possible. Generally, hoses with small inner diameters can be stored in rolls.
4. In order to prevent the steel wire spiral hose from being compressed and deformed during storage, the stacking should not be too high. Generally, the stacking height should not exceed 1.5m; it is also required that the hoses should be "stacked" frequently during the storage process, generally not less than once a quarter.
5. When storing the wire spiral hose, it should not be in contact with acid, alkali, oil, organic solvent or other corrosive liquids and gases; and it should be 1m away from the heat source.
6. During storage, it is forbidden to stack heavy objects on the tube body to prevent external extrusion and damage.
7. The storage period should generally not exceed two years, and it should be put into storage before use to prevent the quality of the hose from being affected by the long storage time.

Applications of Wire Spiral Hoses

Automotive and transportation
Wire spiral hoses are widely used in the automotive and transportation industry for various applications. One common use is in brake systems, where the wire spiral hoses provide maximum strength and flexibility, ensuring reliable and efficient braking performance. These hoses are often found in fuel delivery systems, which help maintain a steady fuel flow from the tank to the engine. The steel braiding protects against abrasion and punctures, reducing the risk of leaks and potential hazards.

Industrial machinery and equipment
In industrial settings, machinery and equipment often require hoses to handle various fluids, chemicals, and high-pressure conditions. Wire spiral hoses are used for hydraulic systems, transmitting power through the controlled flow of hydraulic fluid. They are also employed in pneumatic systems to transfer compressed air and in various cooling and lubrication systems to maintain optimal machine performance.

Aircraft and aerospace
Aircraft and aerospace industries heavily rely on wire spiral hoses due to their exceptional durability and resistance to high pressures. In commercial aircraft applications, these hoses can be found in critical systems like landing gear hydraulics or engine lubrication. Wire spiral hoses also play a crucial role in aerospace by providing fluid transfer solutions for rocket engines, satellites, and propulsion systems. The inherent strength of these hoses ensures operational reliability even under extreme environmental conditions encountered at high altitudes or during space missions.

Oil and gas industry
Wire spiral hoses are vital in transferring fluids under high pressure in the oil and gas industry. These hoses connect drilling rigs to storage tanks or transport oil and gas between processing units. Their resistance to corrosion and chemicals makes them ideal for handling hazardous substances safely. Wire spiral hoses offer flexibility even in harsh environments, allowing seamless operations without compromising safety.

Chemical and pharmaceutical industries
Wire spiral hoses are also extensively used in chemical and pharmaceutical industries due to their excellent resistance against corrosive chemicals and solvents. These industries often require efficient transfer of volatile liquids or gases that may pose risks if mismanaged. Wire spiral hoses offer the required reliability while ensuring leak-free connections throughout production. Moreover, their ease of maintenance makes them attractive for reducing downtime during routine cleaning or inspections.

The Considerations For Buying Wire Spiral Hose

Wire spiral hoses are used for applications that require higher than normal pressures and superior resistance to flexing like heavy-duty machinery used in agriculture, logging, or mining. Additionally, they are separated by a ply layer running in opposite directions to ensure adhesion between each layer, including the inner tube and the cover. Choosing the correct hose application won't be complete without a mention of the popular mnemonic used in the industry. It conveniently summarizes the factors to look out for when choosing wire spiral hoses for your application.

Size
Size refers to the inner diameter (id) of a wire spiral hose and determines the flow velocity of the fluid being carried.
Low flow in hydraulic fluid dampens the response time of a hydraulic system, whereas a high flowing fluid may damage hydraulic lines.
When searching for the correct hose size, you may encounter the dash number system that indicates the hose size. It normally precedes the part number after a hyphen. The number times 1/16 gives you the true value of the hose id.

Temperature
External working temperature, as well as fluid temperature, need to be considered when selecting a hose. Not all hoses use the same materials for the inner lining and the outer cover. Hence, they have different temperature ratings depending on the rubber or polymer used in their construction. Make sure you select those wire spiral hoses that can withstand the ambient temperature as well as the inner working temperature of the fluid with an additional margin of error for the upper limit. Otherwise, the hydraulic system may get clogged with debris from the inner lining, hoses may burst, and leaks may become more common.

Application
Application refers to all the considerations you need to keep in mind before selecting a wire spiral hose assembly. It's best to create a checklist to keep track of the different external influences on the hose, like the machinery it is intended to be a part of, what elements it'll be exposed to, if it has to pass through constrictions, etc.

Media
Media or medium is the official term used to describe the fluid being carried in a hydraulic system. Since a system has multiple wire spiral hoses conveying fluid to different parts, it's essential that all of them are compatible with the fluid carried. Otherwise, the inner tubing may react with the medium, causing it to erode and clog up the system. Additionally, the outer cover must also be resistant to the element it is subjected to.

Pressure
Hydraulic systems rely on the changes in pressure and velocity to carry out their function. The magnitude of this pressure varies throughout different components of the hydraulic system, each experiencing surges and drops while the system operates. In order to maintain the pressure and withstand spikes due to loading, the wire spiral hoses you select must have a working pressure rating that conveys fluid without bursting and remains intact after transient changes.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Wire Spiral Hose

Q: Which of the following must be considered when selecting wire spiral hose?

A: External working temperature, as well as fluid temperature, need to be considered when selecting a wire spiral hose. Not all hoses use the same materials for the inner lining and the outer cover. Hence, they have different temperature ratings depending on the rubber or polymer used in their construction.

Q: Which factor is crucial when selecting a wire spiral hose for a specific application?

A: Pressure rating. wire spiral hose must be chosen with a maximum working pressure (WP) rating that is at or preferably above the normal maximum hydraulic system pressure. Momentary pressure surges for a hydraulic system are not to exceed this pressure rating.

Q: How do you determine the size of a wire spiral hose?

A: Hydraulic hose sizes are specified on the I.D. of the hose. For example, a 1/2" hose is designated as 1/2" or 0.5" in terms of decimal. For most common hydraulic hoses, the I.D. is in 1/16" increments known as the dash size.

Q: How are wire spiral hoses rated?

A: Hydraulic hose is usually rated based on a 4:1 safety factor. This means 3,000-psi hose bursts at 12,000 psi or more. Exceptions include jack hose which often has a 2:1 safety factor, because it is a static and low stress application.

Q: Does wire spiral hose size matter?

A: Size is everything when it comes to hydraulic hoses. This is because the hose size affects both the flow rate—the volume of hydraulic fluid produced by the pump—and flow velocity—the speed at which the fluid travels.

Q: Is wire spiral hose measured by ID or OD?

A: Measure and specify the ID, not the OD. For example 3/4" is the hose bore size, not the outside diameter.

Q: What are the criteria for wire spiral hose selection?

A: STAMPED.
S = Size.
T = Temperature.
A = Application.
M = Material.
P = Pressure.
E = Ends or couplings.
D = Delivery (volume and velocity)

Q: What is the standard for wire spiral hose?

A: Hydraulic tube is made according to DIN 2391/C (DIN EN 10305-1) or DIN 2445/2 (DIN EN 10305-4) standards and it is available in millimeters, inches outer diameter, and inches nominal bore size.

Q: What does a wire spiral hose do?

A: Just like a hose you might use to water your garden, the purpose of a wire spiral hose is to allow fluid to flow from one component to another – in this case hydraulic fluid. The hose is the conduit that ensures the fluid is able to travel unimpeded and it's a vital part of keeping hydraulics systems moving.

Q: How long will a wire spiral hose last?

A: The lifespan of a wire spiral hose can vary depending on several factors, including the type of hose, the conditions of use, and the frequency of maintenance. On average, wire spiral hoses can last between 5 to 10 years under normal operating conditions. However, factors such as exposure to high temperatures, abrasion, and chemicals can shorten their lifespan.

Q: What are the advantages of wire spiral hose?

A: Wire spiral hoses are designed to be flexible, allowing for efficient movement of the machine while still being able to withstand the high pressures involved in hydraulic systems. The construction and reinforcement of wire spiral hoses are critical to their ability to handle high-pressure and heavy-duty applications.

Q: Do wire spiral hoses need to be bled?

A: One of the primary reasons you need to bleed hydraulic lines is to remove air from the system. Air entering the system can cause various problems, such as reduced efficiency and increased wear on components. Bleeding the lines helps to remove air from the system and allows the system to operate more efficiently.

Q: What is the best practice for wire spiral hose?

A: The hose assemblies should be long enough that the minimum bend radius is met. Hoses should never be so short that the hose makes a right angle at the connectors. It is also important to make the hoses long enough to account for potential expansion or contraction when the hydraulic system is in use.

Q: How tight should wire spiral hoses be?

A: You can can "back-off" this sort of fitting from hand-tight up to one revolution to align it with other plumbing. Once aligned, tighten the nut until it is "firm" against the washer and o-ring, with the nut becoming snug with a feel of metal-on-metal in less than one revolution. Over-tightening causes as many leaks as under-tightening.

Q: Who uses wire spiral hoses?

A: Wire spiral hoses are used in a variety of industries from construction and manufacturing to logistics, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, rail and automotive (to name just a few). You'll find wire spiral hoses in factory production lines, fleet vehicles and plant (such as that used in the construction sector) and for commercial farming.

Q: What are the different types of wire spiral hose?

A: Wire spiral hoses generally fall into two categories: those that comply with SAE standards and EN standard wire spiral hoses – the European norm. SAE hydraulics hoses are generally regarded as the industry benchmark and the most widely used within the UK. 16 different types of hose fall within the SAE remit, and each one needs to adhere to strict dimensions and performance characteristics.

Q: How do I choose the right kind of wire spiral hose?

A: Not all wire spiral hoses are the same so when looking for a new or replacement wire spiral hose it's important to consult with a specialist who can source or design the most appropriate hose for your needs. Unless you work in an industry that uses hydraulic-powered machinery, the chances are you'll have little awareness of what a wire spiral hose does. The truth is wire spiral hoses are a key component in helping many of the UK and Ireland's businesses to deliver their services, so they're a vital cog that millions of people rely on each day.

Q: What are the wire spiral hoses?

A: Wire spiral hoses are used to transfer fluid from a source to another. Different types of hoses are appropriate for different applications. There are many factors that determine which type of hose to use. This includes the type of fluid you intend to use, the hose material, and the pressure of the fluid. Also, the couplings and ends on the hose are important.

Q: How do I know if my wire spiral hose is bad?

A: Visual damage: If you notice any visible damage to the hose, such as cuts, abrasions, or kinks, it is a sign that the hose needs to be replaced immediately. It is essential to inspect wire spiral hoses regularly for signs of wear, damage, or leaks to prevent equipment downtime and potential safety hazards.

Q: Do wire spiral hoses get hot?

A: If there is dirt, sludge, debris, or water in the hydraulic fluid, the system will generate more heat as it attempts to compensate for the contaminants and push the fluid through the system. Therefore, it is always vital to check your fluid for contamination and change it and or improve fluid filtration when required.
