A series of tubes
A hose is a hollow tube designed to carry fluids from one location to another. FLUID ( F ast L ight '''U'''ser '''I'''nterface D esigner is a graphical editor that is used to produce FLTK Source code Hoses are also sometimes called tube or pipes (the word pipe usually refers to a rigid tube, whereas a hose is usually a flexible one), or more generally tubing. A pipe is a tube or hollow cylinder used to convey materials or as a structural component Tubing is a Pipe or hollow cylinder for the conveyance of fluids (liquids or gases The shape of a hose is usually cylindrical (having a circular cross section). A cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shapes the Surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given Straight line, the axis Circles are simple Shapes of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which are at a constant Distance, called the In Geometry, a cross section is the intersection of a body in 2-dimensional space with a line or of a body in 3-dimensional space with a plane etc In recent years hose are manufactured from special grade polyethylene (specially LLDPE).
Hose design is based on a combination of application and performance. Common factors are Size, Pressure Rating, Weight, Length, Straight hose or Coilhose and Chemical Compatabiltiy.
Hoses are made from one or a combination of different materials. Pneumatic applications mostly use Nylon, Polyurethane, Polyethylene, Nitrile, Neoprene or Rubber based on the environment and pressure rating. In recent years hose are manufactured from special grade polyethylene (LDPE and specially LLDPE).
Hoses can be used in water or other liquid environments or to convey air or other gases. Water is a common Chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of Life. Liquid is one of the principal States of matter. A liquid is a Fluid that has the particles loose and can freely form a distinct surface at the boundaries of Temperature and layers The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere varies with altitude the mathematical relationship between temperature and altitude varies among five This page is about the physical properties of gas as a state of matter Hoses used to carry fluids through air or fluid environments and they are typically used with clamps, spigots, and nozzles to control fluid flow. A clamp is a fastening device to hold or secure objects tightly together to prevent movement or separation through the application of inward Pressure. A nozzle is a mechanical device or Orifice designed to control the characteristics of a Fluid flow as it exits (or enters an enclosed chamber or Pipe.
Polyethylene hose and tubes are made in accordance to American Society of Agriculture Engineer (ASAE), Bureau of Indian Standards (ISI), ISO and American Standard for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
Specific applications include the following:
- A garden hose is used to water plants in a garden or lawn, or to convey water to a sprinkler for the same purpose. A garden hose or hosepipe is a flexible tube used to carry water A garden is a planned space usually outdoors set aside for the display cultivation and enjoyment of Plants and other forms of Nature. A lawn is an area of recreational or amenity land planted with grass, and sometimes Clover and other plants which are maintained at a low even height
- A Tough Hose is used to water crops in Agriculture for drip irrigation
- A firehose is used by firefighters to convey water to the site of a fire. Agriculture refers to the production of goods through the growing of plants and fungi and the raising of domesticated Animals The study of agriculture See also Irrigation Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation or microirrigation is an Irrigation method which minimizes the use Firefighters are rescuers extensively trained primarily to put out hazardous Fires that threaten civilian populations and property to rescue people from car accidents collapsed Fire is the heat and light energy released during a Chemical reaction, in particular a combustion reaction.
- Air hoses are used in underwater diving (e. Air hoses are used in underwater diving (eg Scuba diving) to carry air from the Surface or from Air tanks or Diving pumps to the diver Diving off a deck into the Great South Bay of Long Islandjpg|thumb|A man dives into the Great South Bay of Long Island. g. , scuba diving) to carry air from the surface or from air tanks. Scuba diving is swimming underwater, or taking part in another activity while using a Scuba set. (See also Snorkeling. Snorkeling ( British spelling: snorkelling) is the practice of Swimming at the surface of a body of water while equipped with a Diving mask, a ) Industrial uses for operating flexible machinery and worktable tooling sush as pneumatic screw drivers, grinders, staplers, etc.
- In architecture, metal or plastic hoses (usually called pipes) are used to move water around a building; air ducts are used to move air around (see Air conditioning). The term architecture (from Greek αρχιτεκτονικήarchitektoniki) can be used to mean a process a profession or documentation The M acro E xpansion T emplate A ttribute L anguage complements TAL, providing macros which allow the reuse of code across Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic or semisynthetic organic solid materials suitable for the manufacture of industrial products In Architecture, Construction, Engineering and real estate development the word building may refer to one of the following Any man-made The term air conditioning refers to the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for Thermal comfort.
- Automotive hoses are used in automobiles to move fluids around for use in cooling, lubrication, and/or hydraulics. A lubricant (sometimes referred to as a "Lube" is a substance (often a liquid introduced between two moving surfaces to reduce the Friction between them improving For the mechanical technology see Hydraulic machinery and Hydraulic cylinder Hydraulics is a topic of science and Engineering Hoses are also used to convey pressure or vacuum signals to control circuits or gauges, as well as conveying vacuum to heating, cooling, brake, and/or locking systems.
- In chemistry and medicine, hoses (usually called tubes) are used to move liquid chemicals or gases around. Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem meaning "earth") is the Science concerned with the composition structure and properties Medicine is the art and science of healing It encompasses a range of Health care practices evolved to maintain and restore Human Health by the
