### How to measure the radius of curvature of a hose?
URL: https://venair.com/en/resources/technical-guides/measure-hose-bending-radius

The minimum bending radius of a hose and the required amount of force needed to bend a hose are crucial factors in hose selection and design, specially if it will be subject to curves, strong movements, and constant stress. How to Measure Hose Bending Radius? The minimum bend radius refers to the minimum distance a hose can bent without damaging or shortening its life. Most hoses must bend constantly throughout their service life, so considering flexibility requirements ahead of time saves time and money. Bending a hose more sharply than its design allows places an undue stress that can cause kinking and damage in the hose, decreasing its hose life. Additionally, over-bending a hose can restrict flow, leading to further complications. For these reasons, it’s important to calculate in advance the minimum bend radius to determine the minimum length of hose required for a given application. How can we calculate the bending radius? Before calculating the bend radius, you need to answer the following questions: What angle of bend in degrees (A) do I need the hose to reach? What diameter of hose do I need? Once, you have these answers, there’s two possible ways to calculate the minimum bend radius: Inside radius measures the radius of the bent hose to its innermost surface. Centerline radius: measures the radius to the centerline of the hose. Centerline radius method Centerline radius method, is the method most used, as using this formula, the minimum required length of a hose can …

### How to choose the right tube for your application

Choosing the most suitable hose for your application can be a hard decision to make because of the number of options available in our product range. For this reason, taking time in identifying and specifying your application Is key to choosing the best hose for your application. We believe that the best way to identify the best hose for your specific application is by following the acronym S.T.A.M.P.E.D. The acronym stands for: Size, Temperature, Application, Material, Pressure, Ends and Delivery. The S.T.A.M.P.E.D. system of hose requirements is a critical list when it comes to recommending the correct hose for the correct application. The method consists in different questions that you must answered completely and accurately. Our specialists offer years of experience following this critical list and can help you identify and determine the best product for your operation and application. Steps for selecting the proper hose Size The hose must be sized accurately to obtain the most optimal flow velocity. A slow flow results in a poor system performance and a high flow creates excessive pressure drops, damages the system, and creates leaks. The hose must be sized accurately to obtain the most optimal flow velocity.

### How to connect and design a flexible hose for load cells tanks?
URL: https://venair.com/en/resources/technical-guides/flexible-hose-load-tanks

How to choose the correct hose for load cells tanks and why it is important:When designing and installing flexible hoses on load cells tanks there are some essential rules that need to be followed to guarantee longevity of the hoses and reducing errors on the measuring accuracy of the weighing device. Tanks usually require highly flexible connections for supply and discharge or for the supply of additional units mounted on the tank.The best way to avoid weighing issues and breakdowns is to choose an appropriate hose with an optimal design as to not exert unwanted forces when the tank is full. Here is a guideline to consider for flexible connections during the design and planning phase of the tank: 1. Use lighter hoses with the smallest possible diameter to guarantee the most flexibility On the above drawing, you can see two tanks mounted on weighing modules. When comparing the two tanks, one is empty and the other one is full. When the tank is empty, the hose remains in a horizonal orientation and does not exert any force on the tank. However, when the tank is full the hose moves downwards because of the load inside the tank thus pulling the hose downwards by the same distance as the tank deflects. The hose exerts an upward force on the tank that affects nd alters the weight measurements. This issue can be solved by using a more flexible hose that will exert les force on the tank. Our Vena Sil 650V is usually recommended for these applications as the design ensures a balance …

### How often do you need to check your hoses?
URL: https://venair.com/en/resources/technical-guides/how-often-check-hoses

Whether you’ve been working with the same hoses for a long time, or you are not sure about the operability and lifetime of the hoses installed, it’s convenient that you conduct an audit. Regular yearly audits can save you money, improve workplace safety and identify inefficiencies in your operations. Here we give you some reasons to regularly audit your hoses: 1. Saving Money Hoses contribute to the overall performance of your application. Any problem or damage in the hose, can cause serious downtown problems that could lead to overwhelming increases in your production costs. If your hoses haven’t been audited recently, it’s probably that some of them are not optimized for maximum operability or even, they you don’t know their lifetime to predict the right time of replacement to avoid any major problem. In order words, this ignorance could make you lose profits. For these reasons, one of the primary goals of a hose audit is to strategically evaluate your systems, connections, and installations in order to identify areas for improvement. Even minor adjustments like adding labels or QR codes in your hoses, could help keep in track of your hose lifetime and detect the time of replacement. Or for example, improving a connection, replacing hoses with a lighter material, changing the hose with a proper length… any adjustment can help your reduce problems and operation and maintenance costs. 2. Safety is key Without regular audits, you might be missing safety issues what could endan…
