  Abstract

The current design of fire hose couplings is overly simplistic, which forces firefighters to carry multiple hoses of different specifications in emergency situations, thereby increasing the burden of firefighting operations. To address this issue, this study proposes the use of two-dimensional woven high-strength polyester fabric as the reinforcing layer and thermoplastic polyurethane tubing as the inner lining of the hose. Through a heat-press bonding process, high-pressure variable diameter hoses are manufactured, and hoses of different specifications are designed and fabricated. This study explores the composite process parameters of the involved materials and investigates their interfacial bonding performance and failure mechanisms under pressure. The results show that by rationally setting the heat-press bonding process parameters and adjusting the weaving structure of the hose, the interfacial bonding strength and pressure resistance of the fire hose can be effectively enhanced. Experimental tests also reveal the failure mechanisms of gradient-diameter hose materials.
