The Role of PVC Clear Hose in Farms
I. Irrigation Systems
Efficient Water Delivery: The PVC clear hose can efficiently deliver the water required for irrigation, ensuring that crops receive adequate water supply.
Easy Monitoring: Due to its transparency, farmers can visually see the distribution and flow of water, allowing them to adjust irrigation strategies and avoid wasting water resources.
II. Drainage Systems
Rapid Drainage: During rainy seasons or when farmland accumulates water, the PVC clear hose can quickly drain excess water to prevent damage to crop roots.
Easy Maintenance: The transparent material allows farmers to clearly see the inside of the pipeline, making it easy to identify and solve problems in the drainage system.
III. Chemical Transportation
Safe Transportation: On farms, there is sometimes a need to transport pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals. The PVC clear hose has good chemical stability, enabling safe transportation of these chemicals without leakage or contamination.
Precise Control: The transparent pipeline allows farmers to clearly see the transportation of chemicals, enabling precise control of the delivery volume and time, thereby improving efficiency.
IV. Other Applications
Animal Husbandry: In animal husbandry, the PVC clear hose can be used to transport feed and water sources, providing adequate nutrition and water for animals.
Greenhouse Ventilation: In greenhouse environments, the PVC clear hose can also be used in ventilation systems to help regulate the temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse, providing a suitable growth environment for crops.
The Role in Breweries
I. Fluid Transportation
Raw Material Transportation: During the beer production process, the PVC clear hose can be used to transport raw materials such as malt, water, and yeast. Its transparent nature allows staff to clearly see the flow of fluids, ensuring accurate transportation and timely replenishment of raw materials.
Cooling Medium Transportation: During the fermentation process, the beer needs to be cooled, and the PVC clear hose can be used to transport cooling media such as cold water or refrigerant. The transparent piping allows for easy observation of the flow and temperature changes of the cooling medium, ensuring effective cooling.
II. Cleaning and Sterilization
CIP Systems: In the cleaning and sterilization processes of breweries, PVC clear hoses are often used in CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems. CIP systems circulate cleaning solutions to clean and sterilize equipment, and PVC clear hoses, as delivery pipes, ensure that cleaning solutions are evenly and quickly distributed to all areas requiring cleaning.
Easy Cleaning and Sterilization: The smooth surface of PVC clear hoses is less prone to retaining dirt and bacteria, making them easy to clean and sterilize. Additionally, their transparent nature allows staff to visually inspect cleaning effectiveness, ensuring the hygiene and safety of equipment.
III. Drainage and Recycling
Wastewater Drainage: During the beer production process, a large amount of wastewater is generated, and PVC clear hoses can be used for wastewater drainage. The transparent piping allows for easy observation of wastewater flow, enabling timely detection and resolution of drainage issues.
Waste Residue Recycling: During the beer production process, some raw materials may produce waste residue. PVC clear hoses can be used for the recycling and transportation of waste residue, ensuring its proper disposal.
IV. Monitoring and Testing
Flow Monitoring: PVC clear hoses can be used to install flow monitoring devices. By observing the flow of fluids within the piping, real-time flow monitoring can be conducted, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the production process.
Quality Testing: At various stages of beer production, raw materials, fermentation broth, and finished products need to undergo quality testing. PVC clear hoses can be used to transport test samples, facilitating observation and testing by staff.
In summary, the PVC clear hose has a wide range of applications in breweries, with its efficient fluid transportation capabilities, ease of cleaning and sterilization, convenience for drainage and recycling, and functionality for monitoring and testing making it an indispensable tool in breweries.
Characteristics of PVC Clear Hose from 1/4 Inch to 2 Inch
I. 1/4-inch

High Flexibility: Smaller diameter hoses are typically more flexible and easier to bend and install, suitable for use in narrow or complex spaces.
Limited Pressure Resistance: Compared to larger diameter hoses, 1/4-inch hoses may have weaker pressure resistance and are not suitable for high-pressure environments.
II. 3/8-inch
Size Characteristics: The inner diameter is approximately 9 mm (3/8 inch = 9 mm).
Moderate Flow Rate: Compared to 1/4-inch hoses, 3/8-inch hoses can transport more fluid while still maintaining a certain level of flexibility.
Enhanced Pressure Resistance:3/8-inch hoses perform better in pressure resistance than 1/4-inch hoses.
III. 1/2-inch PVC Clear Hose
Size Characteristic: The inner diameter is approximately 12 mm (1/2 inch = 12 mm).
Moderate Flow Rate: Compared to a 1/4-inch hose, a 1/2-inch hose can transport more fluid while still maintaining a certain level of flexibility.
Enhanced Pressure Resistance: A 1/2-inch hose performs better in terms of pressure resistance compared to a 1/4-inch hose.
IV. 3/4-inch
Size Characteristics:The inner diameter is approximately 19 mm (3/4 inch = 19 mm).
Even Higher Flow Rate:Compared to 1/2-inch hoses, 3/4-inch hoses can transport even more fluid.
Stronger Pressure Resistance:Suitable for fluid transport within higher pressure ranges.
V. 1-inch PVC Clear Hose
Size Characteristic: The inner diameter is approximately 25.4 millimeters (1 inch = 25.4 mm).
Large Flow Rate: Suitable for scenarios requiring the transportation of large volumes of fluid, such as irrigation systems and industrial cooling systems.
Strong Pressure Resistance: Capable of withstanding higher pressures to ensure stable operation in high-pressure environments.
High Durability: Due to its larger diameter, the hose is less susceptible to damage during use and has high durability.
VI.1.5-inch and 2-inch PVC Clear Hoses
Size Characteristic: The inner diameters are approximately 38 mm (1.5 inch = 38 mm) and 5 mm (2 inch = 50 mm), respectively.
Extremely Large Flow Rate: Suitable for scenarios requiring the transportation of extremely large volumes of fluid, such as large-scale water supply systems and fire protection systems.
Excellent Pressure Resistance: Capable of withstanding extremely high pressures to ensure stable operation in extreme environments.
Installation and Maintenance: Due to their larger sizes, special installation tools and techniques may be required, and maintenance costs may also be relatively high.
In summary, PVC clear hoses ranging in sizes from 1/4 inch to 2 inches each possess unique characteristics and application scenarios. When selecting, it is important to consider specific needs and the usage environment to ensure the choice of the most suitable hose size.
