Description

"PIX proprietary. Exceeds pressure requirement of IS 446 Type 3 Rock drill hoses," we're discussing a specialized hose product designed for the demanding conditions of rock drilling. Here's a breakdown: Key Elements: PIX Proprietary: This signifies that these hoses are manufactured according to PIX Transmissions' own internal standards and specifications. This allows PIX to control the materials, construction, and quality, potentially exceeding standard requirements. Exceeds Pressure Requirement of IS 446 Type 3: IS 446 is an Indian Standard that sets specifications for rubber hoses used in rock drilling applications. Type 3 refers to a specific classification within that standard, indicating a particular pressure rating and performance level. "Exceeds pressure requirement" means that PIX's hoses are designed to handle pressures higher than those specified in IS 446 Type 3. This indicates a higher level of performance and safety. Rock Drill Hoses: These hoses are used in pneumatic or hydraulic rock drilling equipment, which operates in extremely harsh conditions. These conditions include: High pressures. Abrasive dust and rock particles. Vibration and mechanical stress. Exposure to the elements. Expected Characteristics: High-Pressure Capability: Essential for powering rock drills.   Abrasion Resistance: To withstand the abrasive environment. Impact Resistance: To prevent damage from falling rocks and debris. Flexibility: To allow for maneuverability of drilling equipment. Durability: To withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. Reinforcement: Multiple layers of high-tensile steel wire or textile braiding for strength.   Importance: Rock drilling operations are demanding and potentially hazardous.   Using hoses that exceed standard requirements enhances safety and reliability. It also reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
