What Is a Suction Hose?

A suction hose is a specific type of flexible hose designed to suck up materials such as dirt, trash, dust, debris, and raw materials. Suction is created when a pressure drop between two confined areas creates differential air pressure. The air being removed from an area creates a pressure drop and vacuum, resulting in the creation of suction. Depending on your application, there are several different equipment designed to create a vacuum and a suction. Residential vacuum cleaners, for instance, utilize an electric-powered fan to create a pressure drop and a partial vacuum. These vacuum systems use flexible hoses and ductwork to facilitate the transfer of materials from their source to a collection area, and depending on the type of material and the quantity, the inside diameter (I.D.) size will vary. For example, smaller inside diameter (I.D.) sized hoses require more pressure to take account of the restricting amount of space to transfer materials. Compared to ducts with larger-sized inside diameters (I.D.), smaller diameter ducting need less pressure to transfer materials because there is less resistance and less space to create suction. No matter what kind of vacuum equipment you use, the flexible hoses that are attached must be designed to handle the negative pressure generated from the equipment, or else, you risk the flex hose caving in on itself and rendering it inoperable and generally impractical.

Defining Negative Pressure

Negative pressure is defined as the condition where air pressure is significantly lower in one area in comparison to another. In relation to suction hoses, negative pressure needs to be generated by a machine to create a partial vacuum, creating a gap of pressure that extracts air and materials to fill this vacuum. Every vacuum unit utilizes fans and motors to create negative pressure, and the partial vacuum size it creates depends entirely on the overall power and capabilities of the vacuum unit. In order for operators to determine what sized flexible duct they require to handle their equipment’s level of negative pressure; they have to look at the hose’s ability to pull negative air which is measured in inches of mercury. This measurement, Inches of Mercury (IN./HG), is a unit of capacity used to determine the atmospheric pressure level of a duct, pipe, or flexible hose. If a flexible duct has a high inch of mercury level, it means the suction hose can withstand high atmospheric pressure. If a suction hose has a low inch of mercury level, it means the hose is not recommended to handle the high atmospheric pressure generated by the machinery. As previously mentioned, inside diameter (I.D.) size significantly affects how a flexible duct withstands negative pressure. However, another factor contributing to the performance level of suction hoses is the hose’s material composition. By understanding how negative pressure factors affect the choice of a suction hose, you can appropriately make a well-informed decision that increases the productivity and performance output of your vacuum units.

What Is the Difference Between a Suction Hose and a Ventilation Hose?

The main differences between a suction hose and a ventilation hose is that one pulls ai and the other pushes air out. Suction hoses utilize negative pressure and a partial vacuum force to suck and extract materials from their source through the hose and to a collection area. On the other hand, ventilation hoses utilize positive pressure to push and blow materials from a collected source to another location. Keeping these functionalities in mind, the two hoses are designed with specific materials to suit their applications, with suction hoses catering to material extraction and collection and ventilation hoses catering to transferring and recirculation. You cannot use a ventilation duct for suction. It is not designed to handle the pressure and will fail.
While most flexible hoses and ducts are designed to handle both extraction and recirculation of air and materials, choosing a duct that can handle the positive and negative pressure generated from their intended machinery is important. If not, you risk installing a flexible duct to a piece of equipment not designed to perform effectively at its total capacity. An excellent example of this would be trying to use an air ventilation hose to extract grains from a silo; not only would the material cause significant wear and tear to the hose after a certain number of uses, but the ventilation hose would collapse in on itself due to the negative being applied. While the two types of flexible hoses are very similar, it is essential to understand the difference between suction and ventilation because it can ultimately affect how you move certain materials and what kind of flexible ducting you decide on.

What Is Full Vacuum Pressure?

Full vacuum pressure is often called a ‘perfect vacuum,’ which is the state where a space contains no matter or substance. On the inches of mercury scale, 29” IN/HG represents a perfect vacuum with highly dense atmospheric pressure. While creating or reaching a state of perfect vacuum is practically unlikely in residential and commercial settings, it is more achievable in industrial settings if operators utilize a small inside diameter hose. Due to the restrictive amount of space of a small inside diameter hose, the airflow is limited, creating a pressurized state that is more plausible and manageable to reach a full vacuum pressure. This is why most hose manufacturers produce small inside diameter hoses and ducting for industrial facilities and workshops: they possess the equipment and generate a large power output that can handle a state of perfect vacuum. As a result, flexible ducting options such as our polyethylene flex hose are designed to handle full vacuum pressure and ensure its users that whether they are extracting solid or liquid materials, the extracted material will be transferred quickly and efficiently.
