Heavy-Duty Compressed Air Hose Construction

Inner Tube

The KOMP G hose uses a natural and synthetic rubber inner tube designed for compressed air and suitable industrial fluid applications.

Reinforcement

A tear-resistant synthetic textile reinforcement provides mechanical strength and supports reliable operation under pressure.

Outer Cover

The natural and synthetic rubber outer cover is designed to resist abrasion, ozone, and weathering. This makes the hose suitable for demanding industrial and outdoor environments.

How to Choose the Right Air Compressor Hose

Selecting an air compressor hose requires more than matching the hose diameter to the compressor outlet.

Working Pressure

Always select a hose with a working pressure rating appropriate for the maximum system pressure. The KOMP G series is specified for 20 bar / approximately 290 psi working pressure.

Inside Diameter

The inside diameter should be selected according to the required air flow rate, hose length, and acceptable pressure drop.

Temperature

Consider both the ambient temperature and the temperature of the compressed air. The specified KOMP G operating range is -30°C to +80°C (-22°F to +176°F).

Abrasion Resistance

For mining, construction, quarrying, and other demanding environments, an abrasion-resistant outer cover can help improve hose durability.

Bend Radius

The hose should always be installed within its specified minimum bend radius. Excessive bending can damage the reinforcement and shorten service life.

Air Hose for Mining and Industrial Applications

Mining and heavy industrial environments can expose hoses to abrasion, impact, weather, and continuous mechanical movement.

The KOMP G industrial air hose is designed with a durable outer cover and textile reinforcement for applications where mechanical durability is important.

For a specific mining or industrial application, hose selection should consider pressure, temperature, air flow, installation geometry, connection type, and environmental conditions.

Compressed Air Hose Safety

Compressed air systems operate under stored energy and require appropriate hose selection and installation.

Before installation:

• Verify the hose working pressure.
• Check the hose for visible damage.
• Confirm the correct inside diameter.
• Check the minimum bend radius.
• Use compatible fittings and couplings.
• Prevent excessive twisting and sharp bending.
• Inspect the hose periodically.
• Replace damaged or excessively worn hoses.

For gaseous media, the hose construction and application requirements should be evaluated carefully before use. A suitable version for the specific gas application may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an air compressor hose?

An air compressor hose is an industrial hose used to transfer compressed air from a compressor to pneumatic equipment, air lines, or industrial machinery.

What is the working pressure of the KOMP G hose?

The KOMP G series has a specified working pressure of 20 bar, approximately 290 psi, and a burst pressure of 60 bar, approximately 870 psi.

Is the KOMP G suitable for mining?

Yes. The product is specified for mining and compressor applications. Its abrasion-resistant outer cover and textile reinforcement make it suitable for demanding industrial environments when the application requirements are within the product specifications.

Can an air compressor hose be used for water?

The KOMP G product information lists both compressed air and water among the applicable fluids. The final selection should always be based on the actual operating pressure, temperature, fluid, and installation conditions.

What sizes are available?

The listed KOMP G range includes sizes from 1/2 inch through 3 inches, with different inside diameters, wall thicknesses, and minimum bend radii.

What is the difference between an air hose and a hydraulic hose?

An air hose is designed for compressed air and other specified low-to-moderate pressure media, while a hydraulic hose is specifically designed for hydraulic fluids and typically much higher operating pressures. They should not be interchanged unless the manufacturer specifically approves the application.
