The selection and design of hose systems require not only consideration of the nominal pressure and the medium, but also of the operating temperature. A frequently underestimated factor: as the temperature increases, the mechanical strength of the hose material decreases – and with it, the allowable pressure load.

The choice of the right hose depends on its material. PVC and other plastics offer different properties depending on technical, chemical, or economic requirements. In this article, we introduce five key hose types – including their material, flexibility, durability, and areas of application.

Technical hoses must withstand a wide range of media – from water to chemicals. Our resistance list helps you choose the right one. But what do the symbols mean? Find out here.
