In modern industry and daily life, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) hose is favored because of its excellent performance and wide application fields. However, in the face of the dazzling TPU hose in the market, how to choose the appropriate products according to the specific needs has become a difficult problem for many users. This article aims to provide you with a detailed TPU hose purchase guide to help you make informed decisions during the purchase process.

Select The Appropriate TPU Hose According To The Application Requirements

Different application scenarios have different requirements for TPU hoses, so before purchasing, you will need to specify your specific requirements first. Here are some common application scenarios and their corresponding shopping suggestions:

1. Industrial use: In industrial environments, TPU hose is often used to transport gas, liquid or particulate matter. At this point, you need to consider the wear resistance, chemical resistance and pressure resistance of the hose.

2. Medical use: In the medical field, TPU hoses require very high hygiene standards, so it is necessary to choose medical grade hoses to ensure that they are non-toxic, tasteless and high-temperature disinfection.

3. Food and beverage industry: Food-grade TPU hoses should meet food safety standards, ensure non-toxic, tasteless, and can tolerate a certain temperature range.

4. Automobile industry: In the process of automobile manufacturing and maintenance, TPU hose is often used to transport fuel oil, lubricating oil and other liquids, and the hose with oil resistance and high temperature resistance should be selected.

After clarifying the application requirements, we need to pay attention to the key parameters of the TPU hose to ensure that its performance meets the actual use requirements. Here are some parameters that need to be considered mainly:

1. Inner diameter and outer diameter: the inner diameter determines the flow capacity of the hose, while the outer diameter affects the convenience of its installation and use. Select the proper inner diameter and outer diameter to ensure that the hose can be installed smoothly and meet the flow requirements.

2. Working pressure: Different application scenarios have different requirements for hose working pressure. Make sure that the working pressure of the hose is higher than the maximum pressure in actual use to avoid the hose burst or deformation.

3. Temperature range: The service temperature range of the TPU hose directly affects its performance and life. According to the specific application environment, select the hose that can work stably according to the corresponding temperature range.

4. Wear resistance and chemical resistance: in some special environments, the hose needs to have good wear resistance and chemical resistance to ensure its long-term stable operation.
