Pneumatic hoses
Pneumatic hoses – general information
Many different types of flexible hoses suitable for compressed air are described in the section Industrial hoses (first of all see hoses given in the following groups: hoses for water and air and general purpose hoses). This section presents hoses that are typical for industrial pneumatics and industrial automation.
Our extensive product offer includes a wide range of lightweight and flexible pneumatic hoses with a calibrated outer diameter, both metric and imperial dimensions, to be assembled on push-in or push-on fittings. Designed for pneumatic, hydraulic, oil and lubrication systems and for chemicals. Resistant to hydrolysis, biological corrosion, UV radiation, solvents and detergents. Made of polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PUR), polyamide (PA), teflon (PTFE), PVDF, in many colour options. Available also as a multihose or a spiral hose in different lengths.
The pneumatic hoses that we offer, are intended for pneumatic control systems, pneumatic tools and industrial robots. An antistatic hose version is available for systems where a danger of static electricity build-up can occur. Chiefly used in the electronics industry, varnish, gas and mining industries.

FAQ – pneumatic hoses:
As the temperature increases, the pressure resistance of the hose decreases. For exact values, given as a percentage, please refer to the supplier’s data sheets.
Calibrated air hoses are manufactured in accordance with European standards, e.g. DIN 73378, DIN 74324, which ensure not only thermal but, most importantly, dimensional stability. Dimensional tolerance depends on the diameter and can vary from +/- 0,1mm (for small diameters) to +/-0,2mm (for large diameters).
The flexibility of a hose depends on the raw material and additives (plasticisers) used to manufacture the hose. Manufacturers determine flexibility by indicating the bending radius – the smaller the radius, the more flexible the hose.
Pneumatic hoses are designated by specifying standards, the material of construction, outer diameter and wall thickness. For example, a hose made according to 73378 standard, from PA12 polyamide, with an outer diameter of 8mm and a wall thickness of 1mm can be marked like this: DIN 73378 PA12 S40-PHL 8x1mm.
The ratio of the working pressure to the burst pressure of a hose (at which permanent hose failure occurs) is referred to as the safety factor and is usually 3.
