I haven't no, as the garden hose is just PVC however the woven hose is longitudinally woven. but I am thinking now that the pressure will be concentrated on the area of least resistance. In the case of the garden hose pipe this would be in the hoop/circumferential direction, therefore this is...
JBA I also tested a rubber hose pipe with almost the same diameter and it didn't straighten either, therefore would it not be due to the material properties of the rubber/garden hose compared to the polyester woven hose as the pressure would also be the same. ?
Hi,
I have carried out an experiment on 2 hoses. Hose A, a typical garden hose of 15mm OD 10mm ID and hose B a polyester woven lay flat fire type hose of 52mm OD 49mm ID. When inflated to 4 bar pressure hose A didn't straighten and was only seen to bulge in the circumferential direction...
