Questions About Mining Fire Hose

How much pressure is there in a mining fire hose?

A mining fire hose is rated for 300# service test pressure, which reflects its normal operating capability. It also carries a 900# burst pressure, providing a strong safety margin for the demanding conditions found in underground mining.

What is an industrial mining fire hose made of?

The industrial mining hose is made from a polyester outer jacket to resist abrasion and mildew. The tube liner is a compounded rubber polymer, manufactured in accordance with MSHA requirements for flame resistance. Couplings are produced from extruded aluminum, designed to be lightweight, non-sparking, and hard-coated for durability.
