In the field of fluid mechanics, a hose is a tube with a diameter large enough to permit the passage of fluids. Hoses are used in many industries, such as construction, mining, and automotive repair.
Hoses are typically made from rubber or plastic materials. The hose is fitted with a nozzle at one end and a coupler at the other end to allow quick coupling and uncoupling. Hoses are also called pipes or tubes in some contexts.
