Welding hose covers

Natural rubber is also widely used in nontire applications which account for approximately 30% of the consumption of all rubber as an aggregate (including both natural and synthetic rubber). However, in the nontire sector, natural rubber was about 22% of total rubber consumption in 2012. Many times natural rubber is used as the sole base elastomer in compounds used in automotive bushings, motor mounts, vibration isolators, and dampers. On the other hand, NR is blended with SBR for compounds used in conveyor belts, welding hose covers, braided water hose, laboratory tubing, footwear knee boots, footwear microcellular compounds, footwear boot uppers, tank linings, and play balls. NR/BR blended compounds are used to make conveyor belt cover stocks, shoe soling, and so on. 

Flexible Metal Hose Deeply corrugated thin brass, bronze, Monel, aluminum, and steel tubes are covered with flexible braided-wire jackets to form flexible metal hose. Both tube and braid are brazed or welded to pipe-thread, union, or flanged ends. Failures are often the result of corrosion of the braided-wire jacket or of a poor...
