High-quality sand blast hose manufactured by Flexihose India, a leading sandblast hose manufacturer in India. Designed for conveying abrasive media such as sand, steel grit, and shot at pressures up to 12 bar (174 PSI). Featuring a natural rubber (NR) inner tube for superior abrasion resistance, multiple plies of high-tensile textile cord reinforcement, and static conductive construction. Available in bore sizes from 1/2 inch to 2 inch. Manufactured in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan by Vardhman Hydraulic Hoses Pvt. Ltd. — supplying factory-direct across India and exporting to the GCC.
What Is a Sand Blast Hose?
A sand blast hose is a heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant rubber hose specifically designed to convey abrasive media such as sand, steel grit, garnet, and aluminium oxide under high pressure during surface preparation and cleaning operations. Unlike standard industrial hoses, sandblast hoses must withstand extreme wear from high-velocity abrasive particles without rupturing or degrading.
Our sand blast hose is manufactured to meet IS 446 standards. The construction features a thick, abrasion-resistant natural rubber (NR) inner tube that provides exceptional resistance to wear from abrasive particles. This is reinforced with multiple plies of high-tensile textile cord to ensure structural integrity and a minimum 4:1 safety factor between burst and working pressure. The outer cover is made from an abrasion, weather, and ozone-resistant SBR/NR blend synthetic rubber. Importantly, our sandblast hose features static conductive construction to prevent dangerous electrostatic charge buildup during blasting operations.
Flexihose India (a brand by Vardhman Hydraulic Hoses Pvt. Ltd.) manufactures premium sand blast hose at our ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 certified facility in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. We offer hoses in bore sizes from 1/2 inch to 2 inch, serving critical industries including shipbuilding, oil and gas, steel fabrication, foundries, and automotive manufacturing. As a leading sandblast hose manufacturer in India, we supply factory-direct pan-India and export to markets across the GCC.
Sand Blast Hose Construction & Features
Understanding the three-layer construction that makes our sand blast hose durable, safe, and reliable for abrasive blasting applications.
Inner Tube — Abrasion-Resistant NR
The inner tube is made from premium natural rubber (NR) compound, specifically formulated to resist extreme abrasion from high-velocity sand, grit, and shot. This thick NR layer significantly extends hose life compared to standard rubber compounds.
Reinforcement — Textile Cord Plies
Multiple plies of high-tensile synthetic textile cord provide the burst strength needed for high-pressure blasting operations. This reinforcement ensures the sand blast hose maintains its shape and integrity under pressure.
Outer Cover — Weather & Ozone Resistant
The outer cover uses an SBR/NR blend synthetic rubber that resists abrasion, weathering, and ozone degradation. This protects the sand blast hose from external damage in harsh industrial environments.
Static Conductive Design
Our sand blast hose features static conductive construction that safely dissipates electrostatic charges generated during abrasive blasting. This prevents dangerous sparking and potential explosions in volatile environments.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sand Blast Hose
A sand blast hose is a heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant rubber hose specifically designed to convey abrasive media such as sand, steel grit, garnet, and aluminium oxide under high pressure during surface preparation and cleaning operations. It features a thick natural rubber (NR) inner tube for extreme abrasion resistance and static conductive construction for safety.
Flexihose India (Vardhman Hydraulic Hoses Pvt. Ltd.) is a leading sandblast hose manufacturer in India, operating from an ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 certified facility in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. With over 45 years of manufacturing experience since 1980, Flexihose produces premium sand blast hose with abrasion-resistant NR inner tubes, multi-ply textile reinforcement, and static conductive construction.
A quality sand blast hose is constructed with an abrasion-resistant natural rubber (NR) inner tube that provides exceptional resistance to wear from high-velocity abrasive particles. The reinforcement consists of multiple plies of high-tensile textile cord for burst strength, and the outer cover is made from an abrasion, weather, and ozone-resistant SBR/NR blend synthetic rubber.
The standard working pressure of a sand blast hose is up to 12 bar (174 PSI), with a minimum 4:1 safety factor between burst pressure and working pressure. This pressure rating is suitable for the majority of industrial sandblasting, shot blasting, and abrasive blasting applications.
Flexihose sand blast hose is available in nominal bore sizes ranging from 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) to 2 inch (50 mm). The most commonly used sizes for industrial sandblasting are 3/4 inch, 1 inch, and 1-1/4 inch bores. The correct bore size depends on your nozzle size, compressor capacity, and required abrasive flow rate.
Sand blast hose is widely used across heavy industries for surface preparation and cleaning. Key sectors include shipbuilding and ship repair (hull cleaning), oil and gas (pipeline and tank surface preparation), steel fabrication and structural steel (rust removal and coating prep), foundries (casting cleaning), automotive manufacturing (component finishing), and construction (concrete surface profiling).
To select the correct sand blast hose, first determine the abrasive media type (sand, steel grit, garnet) and the system operating pressure. Then choose the right bore size based on your nozzle size and compressor output — the hose bore should be at least 3 times the nozzle orifice diameter. Verify that the hose is static conductive and rated for your working pressure with an adequate safety factor.
The price of sand blast hose in India varies based on the bore size (1/2 inch to 2 inch), length, and order quantity. Because Flexihose India manufactures sand blast hose directly at its Bhiwadi facility, we offer factory-direct pricing that eliminates trading margins and provides significant cost savings for bulk industrial buyers. Contact us at +91 8094002348 for a current price list.
The service life of a sand blast hose depends on the abrasive media used, operating pressure, frequency of use, and the quality of the hose construction. A premium sand blast hose with a thick NR inner tube, like those manufactured by Flexihose India, typically lasts significantly longer than economy alternatives. Regular inspection for wear spots and coupling integrity is essential.
Yes, Flexihose India exports high-quality sand blast hose to markets across the GCC region, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar.

People Also Ask — Sand Blast Hose Troubleshooting & Safety
Why is static conductivity important in sand blast hose?
Static conductivity is critical because abrasive blasting generates significant electrostatic charges. Without proper grounding, these charges can build up and create dangerous sparks, potentially causing explosions in volatile environments. Always use static conductive sand blast hose for safe blasting operations.
What is the burst pressure of a sand blast hose?
Under industry standards, sand blast hoses require a minimum 4:1 safety factor. This means the burst pressure is at least 4 times the working pressure. For example, a hose rated for 12 bar working pressure must have a minimum burst pressure of 48 bar.
How do I know when to replace my sand blast hose?
Replace your sand blast hose immediately when you notice visible wear-through of the inner tube, exposed reinforcement layers, cracks or splits in the outer cover, or stiffness indicating rubber degradation. Regular inspection before each use is essential for safety.
What couplings are used with sand blast hose?
Sand blast hoses require specialized quick-connect couplings such as claw couplings (CQP type) or threaded fittings rated for high-pressure abrasive service. Never use standard worm-gear clamps as they will fail under blasting pressure and abrasive vibration.
Can sand blast hose be used for shot blasting?
Yes, sand blast hose is suitable for shot blasting applications. The abrasion-resistant NR inner tube is designed to withstand the impact of steel shot, grit, and other metallic abrasives. Ensure the hose is rated for your system's pressure and that proper static conductivity is maintained.
What is the difference between sand blast hose and air hose?
Sand blast hose has a much thicker, abrasion-resistant inner tube specifically designed to withstand the extreme wear from abrasive particles. Standard air hoses lack this specialized construction and will fail quickly when used for abrasive blasting. Always use proper sand blast hose for blasting applications.
