Experimental Study of the Sleeve Material Mechanical Properties during the Sample Tensile Test

Abstract

Composite materials are widely used in various industries. Both ordinary household items and specialized equipment used, in particular, in emergency and rescue formations, are made from them. Each equipment has a different level of reliability. One of the types of such equipment with the lowest level of reliability is fire hoses. Fire hoses work under different internal working pressures, and depending on this indicator, during their manufacture, such materials are chosen that are able to withstand it. High-pressure fire hoses are a separate type of fire hoses. In order to ensure the necessary strength of the material, it includes an internal reinforcing layer, which is a weaving of textile threads or metal wire. The composite structure of the material greatly complicates the process of checking the technical condition of high-pressure fire hoses, which may have hidden defects. These defects can cause their destruction during operation and lead to non-fulfillment of the tasks assigned by units of emergency and rescue formations. Therefore, the study of changes in the properties of the composite material from which high-pressure fire hoses are made due to the influence of various factors on it is relevant.
