The pressure of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) irrigation hose depends on its specification, material quality and manufacturing process. Generally speaking, different types and sizes of PVC irrigation hoses have different pressure-bearing capabilities. Below are some common pressure ranges, but note that specific specifications and manufacturers may vary
1. Low-pressure PVC irrigation hose Low-pressure PVC hose is generally used in low-pressure irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation or micro-sprinkler irrigation systems. They are usually able to withstand pressures from 0.5 to 2 bar (7.25 to 29 psi).
2. Standard PVC Irrigation Hose Standard PVC Irrigation Hose is suitable for general irrigation applications such as ground spray or roller irrigation. They are generally rated for pressures in the range of 2 to 6 bar (29 to 87 psi).
3. High-pressure PVC irrigation hose High-pressure PVC hose is suitable for irrigation systems that require higher pressure, such as large farmland or areas with extensive sprinkler coverage. These hoses are usually able to withstand pressures above 6 bar (87 psi), some may be able to reach 10 bar (145 psi) or more.
4. Reinforced PVC Irrigation Hose Some manufacturers may produce reinforced PVC hose, which has a stronger internal structure and can withstand higher pressures, which can reach 10 bar (145 psi) and above.
