Industrial Hose Manufacturer in India — Industrial Rubber Hose for Air, Steam, Sandblast & Water
Flexihose India manufactures a complete range of industrial rubber hose — air hose, steam hose, sandblast hose, carbon-free hose, rock drill hose, and water hose. As a leading industrial hose manufacturer in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, we supply factory-direct across India and export to GCC markets. ISO 9001:2015 certified. Manufactured by Vardhman Hydraulic Hoses Pvt. Ltd. since 1980.
Industrial Rubber Hose Manufacturer in India — Flexihose
Vardhman Hydraulic Hoses Pvt. Ltd. — operating under the brand Flexihose India — has been manufacturing industrial rubber hose since 1980 at our ISO 9001:2015 certified plant in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. Our industrial hose range covers six distinct product categories: compressed air hose, high-temperature steam hose, abrasive sandblast hose, non-conductive carbon-free furnace coolant hose, high-pressure rock drill hose, and EPDM/SBR water hose.
Each rubber hose in the Flexihose industrial range is engineered for a specific duty — the correct inner tube compound, reinforcement type, and outer cover for the media, pressure, and temperature of the application. We do not supply generic hoses relabelled for industrial use. Every construction is specified from the tube outward for the intended service environment: oil-mist-resistant NBR for air and rock drill hose, heat-resistant EPDM for steam and hot water, abrasion-resistant natural rubber for sandblast, and non-conductive synthetic rubber for furnace coolant.
All industrial hose production batches are tested at our in-house laboratory in Bhiwadi for burst pressure, dimensional accuracy, and adhesion. Test certificates with actual measured values are issued as standard with every order. We supply factory-direct to OEM buyers, industrial distributors, plant engineers, EPC contractors, and export buyers — no middlemen, no trading margins.

How to Select the Right Industrial Hose — Procurement Guide
A practical step-by-step guide for procurement managers, plant engineers, OEM buyers, and industrial distributors selecting the correct industrial hose for their application.
Identify the Media Being Conveyed
The single most important selection parameter. Compressed air → Air Hose (NBR tube). Steam → Steam Hose (EPDM tube). Abrasive grit/sand → Sandblast Hose (natural rubber tube). Coolant water in electrical environments → Carbon Free Hose (non-conductive tube). Pneumatic air in mining → Rock Drill Hose (NBR tube). Water → Water Hose (EPDM/SBR). Six industrial hose types — each engineered for a specific media and duty.
Confirm System Working Pressure
Match the hose working pressure rating to your system. Air hose: 10–20 bar. Steam hose: 10–17 bar. Sandblast hose: 12 bar. Carbon free hose: up to 17.20 bar. Rock drill hose: 35 bar. Water hose: 6–40 bar. Always apply a safety factor — do not operate continuously at the maximum rated working pressure.
Check the Temperature Range
Temperature determines the inner tube compound. For ambient and cold service (up to +80°C): NBR or SBR. For hot water and steam (up to +195°C): EPDM. For furnace coolant (up to +100°C): non-conductive synthetic rubber. Always confirm the actual operating temperature — not just the ambient plant temperature.
Select Bore Size by Flow Rate
Bore size determines flow capacity and pressure drop. For most pneumatic tools and compressor connections: 1/2″–1″. For industrial air mains and steam lines: 3/4″–2″. For sandblasting and rock drilling: 1/2″–2″. For chemical tanker unloading and bulk transfer: 2″–4″. Undersizing bore increases pressure drop and reduces tool performance — always size for the required flow rate.
Verify Applicable Standards
Steam hose: IS 10655 Type 2. Rock drill hose: IS 446 Type 3. Air hose: IS 446 Type 1/2. For government tenders, PSU procurement, and export to GCC countries, confirm the applicable Indian or international standard before ordering. Flexihose can provide test certificates and compliance documentation as standard with every order.

Industrial Hose Construction — What Makes a Reliable Hose
Every Flexihose industrial hose is built from three functional layers — inner tube, reinforcement, and outer cover — each specified for the duty of that particular hose type.
Inner Tube — Media Contact Layer
The inner tube is the primary fluid barrier. The compound is selected for the specific media: NBR for oil-mist-laden compressed air and pneumatic service; EPDM for steam and hot water; natural rubber for abrasive sandblast media; non-conductive synthetic rubber for furnace coolant. Using the wrong inner tube compound is the most common cause of premature industrial hose failure.
Reinforcement — Pressure & Structural Layer
The reinforcement layer determines working pressure and structural integrity. Textile braid (single or double) for air, steam, sandblast, and carbon-free hose — provides pressure resistance with flexibility. Brass-coated steel wire braid for rock drill hose — handles 35 bar working pressure and resists impulse pressure spikes from pneumatic tools.
Outer Cover — Environmental Protection
The outer cover protects the reinforcement from the working environment. SBR/EPDM for air and steam hose — weather, ozone, and heat resistant. Abrasion-resistant rubber for sandblast and rock drill hose — resists mechanical damage from abrasive particles and rock surfaces. Green synthetic rubber for carbon-free hose — heat and abrasion resistant in furnace environments.
In-House Testing & Certification
Every production batch is tested at our Bhiwadi in-house laboratory with NABL-calibrated equipment: hydrostatic burst pressure test (minimum 3–4× working pressure per applicable standard), dimensional checks, and outer cover adhesion tests. Test certificates with actual measured values are issued as standard with every order — not templated data. Useful for tender submissions, OEM quality audits, and export documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Industrial Hose
Flexihose India manufactures six types of industrial rubber hoses: (1) Air Hose for compressed air service (10 bar and 20 bar), (2) Steam Hose compliant with IS 10655 Type 2 (10 bar and 17 bar), (3) Sandblast Hose for abrasive media (12 bar), (4) Carbon Free Hose for non-conductive furnace coolant applications (up to 17.20 bar), (5) Rock Drill Hose to IS 446 Type 3 (35 bar), and (6) Water Hose in EPDM and SBR rubber (6–40 bar). All are manufactured at our ISO 9001:2015 certified plant in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan.
Both are used for compressed air, but rock drill hose is specifically engineered for the higher pressures and harsher conditions of mining and quarrying. Rock drill hose (IS 446 Type 3) is rated to 35 bar working pressure with a brass-coated steel wire braid reinforcement, an NBR inner tube resistant to oil mist from pneumatic tools, and a rugged natural/synthetic rubber outer cover for abrasion resistance against rock surfaces. Standard air hose is rated to 10–20 bar with textile braid reinforcement and is suited for factory air supply, pneumatic tools, and compressor connections at lower pressures.
A carbon free hose (also called a non-conductive hose) is a furnace coolant hose made with a non-conductive synthetic rubber inner tube that does not allow electrical current to pass through the hose wall. It is used in induction furnaces, electric arc furnaces, electrical panel cooling circuits, and steel mill cooling systems where the coolant water must be electrically isolated from the furnace or equipment. The Flexihose carbon free hose is rated to 17.20 bar working pressure and operates from −40°C to +100°C.
Flexihose steam hose is available in two pressure ratings: 10 bar and 17 bar working pressure. The temperature range is −40°C to +195°C. The hose is manufactured with an EPDM inner tube and EPDM outer cover for heat resistance, and is compliant with IS 10655 Type 2. It is suitable for both saturated and superheated steam in refineries, chemical plants, steel mills, shipyards, food processing, and dairy applications. Bore sizes are 1/2″ to 2″.
Industrial hose prices in India vary by hose type, bore size, order quantity, and delivery location. As a direct manufacturer, Flexihose India offers factory-direct pricing without trading margins — significantly lower than distributor or trading company sources.
