Air hoses, also known as air lines, pneumatic tubing, and air compressor hoses, are flexible tubes made from materials such as PVC, nylon, and polyurethane. They are designed to transport compressed air from one location to another. These hoses are widely used in industrial, commercial, and automotive applications and are essential for powering air tools, pneumatic equipment, and other machinery that requires compressed air.

## **What Are the Different Types of Air Hoses?**

There are many different types of air hoses available in the market, each designed for specific applications. They come in various configurations, including different materials, colours, inside and outside diameters, lengths, and maximum operating pressures. Some [hose pipes](https://au.rs-online.com/web/c/plumbing-pipeline/hose-pipe-fittings/hose-pipe-flexible-tubes/) are also designed for food-grade or low-toxic purposes. The most common types include:

### **PVC Air Hose**

PVC air hoses are lightweight, flexible, and ideal for light-duty applications such as home workshops or DIY projects.

- **Material:** Durable PVC (polyvinyl chloride) with flexibility and abrasion resistance.
- **Colour:** Often blue, but available in various colours.
- **Diameter:** Available in different inside and outside diameters.
- **Length:** Ranges from 5 to 50 metres.
- **Max Operating Pressure:** Up to 300 PSI.
- **Applications:** General-purpose air supply in workshops and industrial settings.

### **Nylon Air Hose**

[Nylon air hoses](https://au.rs-online.com/web/c/pneumatics-hydraulics/pneumatic-connectors-fittings-hose/air-hoses/?applied-dimensions=4294881717) are strong, durable, and resistant to abrasion and chemicals, suitable for automotive and industrial applications.

- **Material:** Nylon, resistant to chemicals and oils.
- **Colour:** Multiple colours for easy identification.
- **Diameter:** Various inside and outside diameters.
- **Length:** From 5 to 30 metres.
- **Max Operating Pressure:** Up to 200 PSI.
- **Applications:** Pneumatic control systems, robotics, and lightweight flexible needs.

### **Polyurethane Air Hose**

[Polyurethane air hoses](https://au.rs-online.com/web/c/pneumatics-hydraulics/pneumatic-connectors-fittings-hose/air-hoses/?applied-dimensions=4294875285) are lightweight, flexible, and resistant to kinks and abrasions, perfect for pneumatic tools and equipment.

- **Material:** Polyurethane, combining flexibility with high tensile strength.
- **Colour:** Bright colours like yellow or red for visibility.
- **Diameter:** Various inside and outside diameters.
- **Length:** From 5 to 50 metres.
- **Max Operating Pressure:** Up to 300 PSI or more.
- **Applications:** High-wear environments, retractable air hose reels, and kink resistance.

## **Key Features and Benefits of Air Hoses**

Air hoses are an essential component in any pneumatic system, offering several key features and benefits:

- **Flexibility:** Air hoses are highly flexible and capable of bending and twisting without breaking or kinking, which enhances manoeuvrability and ease of use.
- **Durability:** Designed to withstand high pressure, temperature variations, and abrasion, air hoses are durable and long-lasting, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
- **Compatibility:** Air hoses are compatible with various pneumatic tools and equipment, providing versatility and flexibility for various applications.
- **Safety:** Air hoses are designed to be leak-free and are made from materials that are safe for use with compressed air, ensuring safe operation in different settings.

## **Typical Applications for Air Hoses**

Air hoses are used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and automotive applications, including:

- **Powering pneumatic tools and equipment** such as air compressors, nail guns, and impact wrenches.
- **Transporting compressed air** to pneumatic cylinders, valves, and actuators.
- **Supplying air to air-operated machinery** such as conveyors, pumps, and lifts.
- **Inflating tyres and other inflatable objects** in automotive garages and service centres.
- **Providing ventilation and cooling** in [HVAC systems](https://au.rs-online.com/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/the-role-of-hvac-systems-in-mining-air-quality-and-humidity).
- **Supplying air to paint sprayers and other spray equipment** in automotive body shops and manufacturing plants.
- **Providing air for cleaning and blowing debris** in industrial and automotive applications.

**Industrial Sector Examples:**

- **Manufacturing:** Used to power assembly line equipment and pneumatic tools.
- **Automotive:** Essential for tyre inflation, powering tools, and paint spraying.
- **Construction:** Supplies air to pneumatic tools like jackhammers and drills.
- **Aerospace:** Powers tools and equipment used in aircraft maintenance and assembly.
- **Food and Beverage:** Provides clean air for packaging and processing equipment.
- **Pharmaceuticals:** Supplies air to machinery for tablet coating and packaging.

## **How Do I Know What Air Hose Size to Buy?**

When choosing the right air hose size, consider length and diameter:

**Length:**

- Common lengths are 30, 50, and 100 metres.
- Longer hoses reduce air pressure at the exit point. Use a single long hose instead of multiple shorter ones connected together.

**Diameter:**

- Internal diameters range from 1.2mm to 25mm. Common sizes are 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm.
- Larger diameters allow more airflow, which is ideal for high-demand tools. To measure the airflow precisely, consider using an [airflow meter](https://au.rs-online.com/web/c/automation-control-gear/sensors/flow-sensors/).

**Air Flow Rate and Pressure Drop:**

- Match the hose size to the air compressor's output (measured in CFM) and the tools' requirements. Higher CFM tools need larger hoses.
- Minimise pressure drop to maintain efficiency. Aim for no more than a 0.1 bar or 3% total pressure drop.

By considering these factors, you can select an air hose that ensures optimal performance for your needs.
