Hose Flow Tester

Hose Flow Tester
A specialized testing instrument designed to measure the flow rate, pressure drop, and fluid dynamics of hoses and tubing under controlled conditions. This machine evaluates how liquids or gases move through flexible hoses—including rubber, plastic, and composite hoses—to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and compliance with industry standards.

 

Equipped with precision flow meters, pressure sensors, and adjustable pumps, the tester simulates real-world operating conditions by:

 

  • Controlling fluid type (water, oil, air, or industry-specific fluids), flow rate, and inlet pressure.
  • Measuring key parameters: volumetric flow rate (e.g., L/min, GPM), pressure loss across the hose length, and flow resistance under varying temperatures or fluid viscosities.
  • Identifying issues such as blockages, constrictions, or design flaws that hinder flow efficiency.

 

Key applications include testing hoses for:

 

  • Automotive & Transportation: Fuel lines, coolant hoses, and brake fluid hoses to ensure proper fluid delivery.
  • Industrial & Hydraulics: Hydraulic hoses, pneumatic tubing, and industrial fluid transfer hoses used in manufacturing, construction, or mining.
  • Marine & Agriculture: Irrigation hoses, chemical transfer hoses, and marine fuel lines requiring consistent flow rates.
  • Medical & Food Grade: Sanitary hoses for pharmaceuticals or food processing, where flow purity and efficiency are critical.

 

Compliant with standards such as SAE J1405, ISO 1402, and ASTM D6375, this tester is trusted by hose manufacturers, system integrators, and quality control labs. It provides data to optimize hose design, validate performance claims, and ensure safe, efficient fluid transfer in end-use applications.
