Question

Explain why the failure of a garden hose occurred near its end and why the tear occurred along its length. Use numerical values to explain your result. Assume the water pressure is 30 psi.

Answer 1

Answer:

Most hydraulic systems develops pressure surges that may surpass settings valve. by exposing the hose surge to pressure above the maximum operating pressure will shorten the hose life.

Explanation:

Solution

Almost all hydraulic systems creates pressure surges that may exceed relief valve settings. exposing the hose surge to pressure above the maximum operating  pressure shortens the hose life.

In systems where pressure peaks are severe, select or pick a hose with higher maximum operating  pressure or choose a spiral reinforced hose specifically designed for severe pulsing applications.

Generally, hoses are designed or created to accommodate pressure surges and have operating pressures that is equal to 25% of the hose minimum pressure burst.
