This type of PVC Clear Hose is designed to operate in high-temperature environments, with temperature ratings up to 176°F (80°C). High-temperature PVC Clear Hose is commonly used in applications such as hot water transfer, steam cleaning, and food processing.

 

Non-Toxic PVC Clear Hose
This type of PVC Clear Hose is designed for use in applications where there is a risk of food or beverage contamination. Non-toxic PVC Clear Hose is made with materials that are free of harmful chemicals and toxins, and it is commonly used in food and beverage handling, as well as in medical and pharmaceutical applications.

 

Application of PVC Clear Hose

 

Food Processing
PVC Clear Hose or tubing can be used to transport liquids, allowing those liquids to closely watched by overseers. Imagine trying to cook a meal with a blindfold on. That is what food production without visual monitoring is like: simply impossible. Health requirements also demand that food products be closely monitored throughout production.

 

Pool and Spa
PVC Clear Hose is especially useful in larger pool backwash systems. When backwashing a pool, you are running water backwards through a pump system in order to clear dirt and debris from the filters. After water flows through the filters, PVC Clear Hose can be used to show all the gunk and debris being pushed out of the system. This also lets you know when the filter is clean.

 

Aquariums
One of the most common clear PVC tubing uses is in professional aquariums. When rare or exotic fish are being kept, the cleanliness of their home is vital. When that water is passing through the filter, you want to see the difference from when it goes in to when it comes out. PVC Clear Hose can be used on both sides of a filter; one pipe showing dirty water going in, and another showing clean water coming out. If the water leaving the filter isn't as clear as it should be, you know to clean the filter.

 

Labs
Scientific labs are full of chemicals and gases that are found no where else. When creating complicated chemical mixtures in a lab, you want to see every step of the process. For this reason, PVC Clear Hose or tubing should be used. While some more aggressive chemicals can break down PVC in liquid form, it excels and transporting gases.

 

Medical
The medical uses of clear PVC are almost limitless. From manufacture of pharmaceuticals to patient care, PVC Clear Hose and tubing abound. PVC is perfect for medical uses because it is durable and easy to clean. In an environment where everything must be spotless and sterile, clear PVC is a useful material.

 

How do you bend the PVC Clear Hose?

 

 

Bending PVC Clear Hose may be desirable under certain conditions where long radius bends and unusual configurations are required. Various sizes and wall thicknesses of rigid PVC pipe have been successfully heat-formed for many years, not numerous angles, long radius sweeps for conduit and flow conditions, U-bends for thermal compensation, and offsets in congested areas.

 

Successful bending requires that the appropriate heat be applied uniformly to the required length of pipe to be bent. This presents the greatest challenge for field bending, as the heating methods must provide the necessary amount of heat over the required length of pipe in a reasonable amount of time. Several common pipe-heating methods involve hot air ovens, electric box heaters, electric pipe-heating blankets, and flameless hot gas torches. The temperature necessary to heat the pipe depends on pipe size and the severity f the desired bend radius. In general, PVC pipe should be heated from 225°F to 275° F for the minimum necessary time to achieve uniform softening.

 

During the process, the pipe ends are capped or plugged, and the filling medium is compacted as much as possible to remove any air pockets before heating. Once the bend is formed and cooled, the sand is emptied from the pipe, and any remaining particles can be easily removed by rinsing with water.

 

To provide fabrication consistency in the field, standard pipe bending forms which provide the required radius are sized (grooved) for the proper diameter and can be used to bend plastic pipe. Plywood jigs constructed on-site have also been used successfully in many applications. The minimum bend radius at the bend should not be less than five times the pipe outside diameter to prevent flattening. Due to the recovery characteristics of the material, the pipe should be bent slightly beyond the desired radius and allowed to spring back to the required angle once uniformly heated at the correct temperature.

 

It should be noted that most bending procedures will induce stress into the wall, which can be retained in the material after the bend radius is formed. The amount of stress induced depends on the bend's severity, the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe bent, and the bending method used. This residual stress will be added to the normal stresses created by internal pressure, installation procedures, and the effects of temperature. Therefore, pipe bending should be limited to applications at ambient or lower temperatures where maximum operating pressures are not utilized. It should also be noted that during the bending process of PVC Clear Hose, the material will become cloudy during the heating process but will regain clarity when cooled, provided excessive bending stresses are not retained.

 

Why does PVC Clear Hose Pipe Appear Bulge?

PVC clear hose pipe is flexible with light weight, the hose tube is fully transparent with various colors. But sometimes it can be found that there are bulges on hose surface, which will affect the overall appearance of the hose.

 

1. Plastic mesh bags are too loose

In the case of PVC clear hose pipe, the horizontal load in the inner and lower working pressure triggered by the material is borne by the hose, and the vertical load is accepted by the plastic net bag covered with the PVC clear hose. Because the plastic mesh bag is woven by equipment, when the plastic mesh bag is woven by hand too loose, avoid the side pressure with the vertical load of strong vibration, it will lead to the plastic mesh bag lifting scene often occurs.

Temperature Range

2. The hand weaving angle is too large

If the net in the whole process of manual weaving angle of PVC clear hose pipe is too large, it will lead to the penetration rate of plastic mesh bag, plastic mesh bag is loose, plastic mesh bag and PVC clear hose pipe to meet the density, when hose deformation is easy to bulge.

 

3. The bending radius is too small

In the actual loading process, it is because the PVC clear hose pipe is limited in mid-air, the length of the PVC clear hose pipe selected is not matched with the set overhead specifications, such as the nominal size of DN150, the stiffness section distance of the sample is 100 mm, the vertical offset is 250Mm, and the small bending radius is 1800mm, Its reasonable measurement verification small sample length is 7525 mm, but in fact the length is 10000mm, due to the relatively limited indoor space, will lead to PVC clear hose pipe some span bending, with the surface pressure prefabricated components plastic mesh bag deformation, and then appear bulge.

 

 
Can PVC Clear Hose be used for Drinking Water
 

 

PVC clear hose can be the material for drinking water. But there are some safety factors to keep in mind. PVC clear hose used for drinking water should be food grade material. Besides, it will be better to have the FDA certificate.
When select a PVC clear hose for drinking water, it’s important to choose a product that is labeled for this use. Some PVC clear hoses may be for industrial use only. So they may not be safe for use with drinking water.
In addition, it will be better to properly maintain and clean PVC clear hose used for drinking water. Which this is to prevent the growth of bacteria and other impurities. This can include regular flush and sanitize of the hose as well as proper storage and handle.
Another factor is the potential leach of plasticizers from PVC clear hose into the drinking water. It’s a chemical that added to PVC to make it more flexible. But it can migrate out of the material and into the water.
