Ah, you're talking about a Soft End Rubber Hose a term commonly used in industrial and dredging applications. It's especially relevant when you need a hose that can absorb vibration, reduce wear, or connect flexibly between rigid piping or equipment.
A Soft End Rubber Hose is a rubber hose that features unreinforced or less-reinforced ends (called soft ends), making them easier to:
Clamp or fit onto nozzles/pipes
Minimize metal contact
Reduce wear and tear on flanged joints
These are different from hard end or flanged end hoses, where the ends are rigid and have steel flanges or beaded collars.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Soft Ends | Flexible, unreinforced ends to slip over pipe/nozzle |
| Main Body | Reinforced rubber to handle pressure and abrasion |
| Applications | Dredging, slurry, cement, water, sand, and mud handling |
| Material | Natural rubber, SBR, or NR blended with abrasion-resistant compounds |
| Length | Typically 110 meters |
| Pressure Rating | Usually up to 1015 bar (varies) |
| Temperature Range | -30C to +80C |
Dredging lines (between steel pipe and floating hose)
Slurry and sand transfer
Pumping stations
Mining and cement industries
Hydraulic fills or shore protection
Ease of installation can be clamped with less specialized equipment
Vibration damping reduces stress on rigid connections
Field flexibility good for remote or uneven installations
1,500 to 5,000+ per meter, depending on:
Hose diameter
Pressure rating
Type of rubber
Application-specific design
If youre planning to use it in a specific application, I can help recommend specs or suppliers based on the media you're handling (mud, slurry, chemicals, etc.). Want help with that?
