Mining Hose — Water, Sand and Slurry Duties Around a Mine

Home / Mining Hose

Three recorded duties, three families

A mine runs hose everywhere — dewatering the workings, washing down plant, moving sand, gravel and slurry — but a catalogue does not sell 'mining hose' as one product, and this one is no exception. What the company's records do contain, duty by duty, is narrower: mines are named on the garden family's application list; sand and gravel stand among the steel wire hose's recorded media; and slurry transfer stands among the suction family's recorded duties. The specification that matters is never the industry word but the duty: what moves, on which side of which pump, at what pressure, across what ground. Arrive with the duty facts, and the quotation is written against them.

Washdown and water services. The garden family's recorded applications include washdown in mines, alongside factories and homes — the light end of mine water work: cleaning and general water services on the family's fibre-reinforced builds. Its published family figures are bores 1/4 in to 3 in on the parameter table (garden family range; the rating at your bore is confirmed in the quotation) and working pressure 5 to 8 bar across the family (garden family range; the rating at your bore is confirmed in the quotation). The family page is PVC garden hose.

Sand, gravel and slurry transfer. The steel wire hose's recorded media include sand and gravel, in a build described as resistant to negative pressure and abrasion — the abrasive end of the range, on the PVC steel wire hose page. The suction family's recorded duties include slurry transfer, with construction sites heading its application list — the intake and heavy-transfer end, on the PVC suction hose page, whose family data runs to bores of 8 in (suction family range; the rating at your bore is confirmed in the quotation). Site water movement as a whole — the dewatering set of intake plus layflat delivery — is specified on the dewatering page.

No mining certification is recorded

Two absences stand beside the records above. No mining certification, approval or standard is named for any family in the company's data, and none is claimed here: if your site's rules require a hose with a named approval — for underground use above all — name the requirement in the enquiry and ask for the position to be stated in writing before any order. And no family's figures are restated on this page as mining ratings: each family's published data, with the rating at your bore confirmed in the quotation, is the whole of the evidence, here as everywhere on this site.

The facts a mining enquiry carries

• The duty, one line per duty: washdown, dewatering, sand or gravel transfer, slurry — itemised; the duties are recorded on different families.
• Surface or underground: where the hose will work, and any approval your site's rules attach to it.
• Medium and abrasiveness: water, sand, gravel or slurry, with particle size where it is coarse — the fact that decides wall and build.
• Pressures and bores per duty: pump figures where a pump is involved; the rating at your bore is then confirmed per family in the quotation.
• Lengths and couplings: run lengths per duty and the end connections your plant standardises on.

Is there a dedicated mining hose in this range?

No single product carries that name. Mines are named on the garden family's application list; the steel wire hose enters through its recorded media, sand and gravel, and the suction family through its recorded duty, slurry transfer — each specified duty by duty.

Can these hoses be used underground?

No underground approval is named for any family in the company's data. State your site's requirement in the enquiry and ask for the position to be confirmed in writing before ordering.

What does a pit dewatering enquiry state?

State your pump's inlet and outlet sizes, the lift and the run in the enquiry, and ask for the intake and delivery constructions to be confirmed against them; the dewatering page covers site water movement as a whole and the family pages carry the figures.
