Select the Right Industrial Hose for Your Application Using the STAMPED Method

Selecting the right hose and hose fittings is crucial for the smooth operation of any industrial process. There are many diverse factors to take into account when choosing a particular type of hose. Using the “STAMPED” method helps ensure that you select the correct hose for your specific needs, taking into account various factors critical to its performance and longevity.

STAMPED is an acronym commonly used in the hose selection process, particularly in industrial applications. It was created to help buyers remember the key factors to consider when selecting the right hose for a particular application. Here’s what each letter of STAMPED stands for:

S – Size

“Size” refers to the inside diameter (ID) and outside diameter (OD) of the hose and the length of the hose required.

T – Temperature

The temperature range the hose is subjected to includes both the highest and lowest temperatures. This encompasses the temperature of the conveyed substance and the ambient temperature of the environment.

A – Application

This describes the specific application or purpose of the hose, such as conveying air, water, chemicals, or abrasive materials.

M – Material

This refers to the material that the hose is constructed from. Material includes the inner tube, reinforcement layers, and outer cover. Hoses are typically constructed from materials such as rubber, PVC, stainless steel, and various types of plastics.

P – Pressure

This specifies the maximum pressure the hose will need to withstand during operation, including any spikes or fluctuations in pressure.

E – Ends or Connections

This indicates the type of end connections or fittings required to properly install and use the hose in your system, ensuring compatibility and secure connections. There are many options to choose from, including threaded, flanged, camlock, or quick-connect fittings.

D – Delivery

Delivery takes into account factors such as lead time, shipping options, shipping expenses, availability, special packaging, labeling, or documentation.

By considering each aspect of STAMPED, you can ensure that you select the best hose for your specific application.
