Difference between canvas fire hose and PVC fire hose

Canvas fire hose and PVC fire hose are two common fire-fighting equipment. They have some differences in materials and uses:

1. Canvas fire hose is made of canvas material, while PVC fire hose is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. Canvas fire hoses are usually woven from multiple layers of canvas and have strong wear resistance and durability. PVC fire hose is made of PVC plastic and has good chemical resistance and high temperature resistance.

2. Canvas fire hoses are usually used for heavier firefighting work, such as fire extinguishing, rescue, etc. Its advantage is that it is strong and durable and can withstand high water pressure and large working pressure. PVC fire hoses are often used for general fire extinguishing and emergency water spraying work. They are lighter, easier to carry and operate.

3. Canvas fire hoses need to be connected in advance when used. They are usually long and require teamwork to operate. PVC fire hoses are usually shorter and can be operated by one person.

4. Canvas fire hoses may be damaged under some special circumstances, such as cuts or abrasions. PVC fire hoses are relatively durable and not easily damaged.

Canvas fire hoses are suitable for heavier firefighting work, while PVC fire hoses are suitable for general fire extinguishing and emergency sprinkler work. The choice of fire hose should be determined based on actual needs and working environment.
