Air Rubber Hose

About Air Rubber Hose

Heres a clear overview of Sandhyaflex IS 446 Rubber Hose what it is, how its used, and how it compares with general rubber hose standards:

What is IS 446 Rubber Hose

IS 446 refers to an Indian Standard specification for rubber hoses designed mainly for industrial, pneumatic and general-purpose flexible hose applications such as air, water, vacuum suction, and some light industrial uses. These hoses are textile-reinforced and rubber-lined as per the BIS standard. (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

Example Sandhyaflex IS 446 Hose Products

Here are some typical rubber hoses made to IS 446-like specifications (textile-reinforced general-purpose hoses):

IS 446 Air Rubber Hose Type I

125

IS 446 Air Rubber Hose Type II

120

IS 446 Air Rubber Hose Type III

135

Key hose types:

• IS 446 Air Rubber Hose Type I Basic textile-reinforced rubber hose for general air/water service.

• IS 446 Air Rubber Hose Type II Higher pressure rating and strength.

• IS 446 Air Rubber Hose Type III Heaviest duty in the IS 446 range for tougher applications.

Note: These types are typically available in smaller diameters (~12 mm50 mm) and for air/water or pneumatic tool use rather than heavy slurry transfer.

What Sandhyaflex IS 446 Rubber Hose Means

Sandhyaflex hoses labeled as IS 446 are generally:

• Rubber hoses with textile reinforcement that meet BIS textile-reinforced rubber hose standards. (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

• Designed for lower-pressure air and water transfer applications (air tools, compressors, spray lines). (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

• Often supplied in Type I / Type II / Type III categories (each with different working pressure & burst pressure ratings). (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

Typical Construction

• Inner tube: Smooth rubber lining.

• Reinforcement: Textile (woven/braided) layers.

• Outer cover: Black rubber with abrasion and weather resistance.

• Hardness: ~60-65 Shore A. (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

Common Applications

Pneumatic tool air lines
Air compressors
General water hose service
Light industrial vacuum suction
Construction site flexible connections (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

How This Differs from Heavy Industrial Hoses

Sandhyaflex also makes heavy industrial suction/discharge and slurry hoses, but those are generally not labeled IS 446 they are instead referred to as dewatering, slurry, dredging or mining rubber hoses with steel wire helix reinforcement for full suction and abrasive transfer. (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

• Heavy industrial hoses (e.g., slurry, mining or dewatering hoses) feature steel wire helix for vacuum-resistant construction and are suitable for high flow water/slurry transfer. (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

• IS 446 hoses, by contrast, are typically textile-reinforced only and used for air, light water, pneumatic systems rather than heavy slurry or full vacuum. (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)

Summary What You Get with Sandhyaflex IS 446

Standard-compliant industrial rubber hose
Textile reinforcement for strength
Good flexibility and abrasion/weather resistance
Available in Type I/II/III pressure classes
Best suited for pneumatic, air & water service lines (sandhyaenterprises.co.in)
