Price Ranges for Natural Rubber (NR) Hoses
The price of natural rubber (NR) hoses can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of hose, its specifications (such as diameter, length, and pressure rating), the intended application, and the manufacturer.
As of my last update, here are some general price ranges for natural rubber hoses:
General Purpose Hoses: These hoses are typically used for applications like air and water transfer. Prices can range from $0.50 to $2.00 per foot.
Industrial Hoses: Designed for more demanding applications, such as the transfer of chemicals or high-pressure situations, these hoses can range from $2.00 to $6.00 per foot, depending on the specifications.
High-Pressure Hoses: For specialized industrial applications requiring higher pressure ratings, prices may exceed $5.00 to $15.00 per foot.
Specialty Hoses: Hoses designed for unique applications (temperature extremes, chemical compatibility, etc.) can vary significantly and may cost anywhere from $10 to $20 per foot or more, depending on the materials and features.
Complete Hose Assemblies: If you require hoses that come pre-assembled with fittings, the costs can also increase and generally range from $20 for basic assemblies to over $100 for complex systems.
Please note that these ranges are indicative and can vary based on specific requirements, market conditions, and geographic locations. Additionally, long-term fluctuations in natural rubber prices due to supply-demand dynamics, environmental regulations, and geopolitical factors can also impact costs.
