Default Question on hoses...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/15899/image002.1.jpg"></center><p>
Hose techniques says "Compare wall thickness of 3.5mm (thick wall) and 4.0mm (thin wall) hoses. These hoses were designed this way for specific purposes." So what's the purpose of having a thicker or thinner wall? I'm about to purchase some hoses and don't want to make a mistake.

Wall thickness of the hose is a function of how much pressure or vacuum the hose will be exposed to.

The pressure or vacuum of the system where the hose is to be used will determine the correct wall thickness.
