IS 446 Rubber Hose is an Indian Standard heavy-duty rubber suction & discharge hose mainly used for water, slurry, mud, sand and dewatering applications in construction, mining and industry.
Heres a clean, practical breakdown
IS:446 specifies the requirements for rubber hoses with textile reinforcement and steel wire helix, suitable for suction and discharge of water and mild slurry.
Its much heavier and stronger than IS 444, especially for suction duty.
Inner Tube: Natural / synthetic rubber
(smooth, water & slurry resistant)
Reinforcement:
Multiple textile plies
Steel wire helix (prevents collapse under vacuum)
Outer Cover:
Abrasion, weather & ozone-resistant rubber
Size Range:
25 mm (1) to 300 mm / 400 mm ID (and higher on request)
Working Pressure:
3.5 to 10 bar (depends on size)
Vacuum:
Suitable for full suction
Length:
Standard 6 m, 10 m (custom lengths available)
Temperature:
Approx. -20 C to +70 C
IS 446 Type A Light duty suction & discharge
IS 446 Type B Medium / heavy duty
IS 446 Type C Extra heavy duty (thicker wall, higher vacuum resistance)
Construction dewatering
Water suction from rivers, ponds, sumps
Mud & slurry handling
Mining & quarry operations
Irrigation pump suction lines
Industrial water transfer
