Hydraulic hose joints work in industrial environments across many industries. In fact, wherever there are pipelines, you’ll almost always find hydraulic joints. This is because pipelines need to connect to each other or to equipment. Many people struggle with choosing the right hydraulic joints. For example, you might need to replace a damaged connector on…
Many finished PU steel wire hoses differ in transparency. Some are as clear as glass. Others, though, look yellowed or whitish. So why do PU steel wire hoses turn yellow? First, antioxidants play a role. Today, many PU steel wire hoses use TDI or MDI as main raw materials. These substances undergo complex chemical reactions…
Oil resistant hoses are widely used in industrial settings. They come in several types, each tailored to specific needs. In hydraulic systems, oil proof hoses act as hydraulic hoses, delivering hydraulic oil throughout the system. In the petroleum industry, flexible rubber oil hoses transport various oil products—like gasoline, diesel, and fuel. For marine projects, oil…
In modern industry, engineering projects demand stricter standards for products than civilian applications—especially when it comes to hoses. Harsh working conditions require higher-quality hoses, leading to increasingly strict specs and standards. Today, we use many types of pipes in daily life, each with different materials and designs. Chemical composite hoses are one such type, but…
Steel wire rubber hoses come in different specs, each handling unique pressure ranges. But how do you assess a rubber hose’s pressure resistance? In fact, you can judge it based on several key factors. Let’s break them down. Thickness of the Inner Rubber Layer A thicker inner rubber layer means better pressure tolerance. Typically, inner…
High temperature resistant telescopic hoses are widely used in industrial production. They solve many problems that traditional hoses can’t, making them essential in modern industry. As their name suggests, these flexible hoses work in both high and low temperature environments. They fully meet fire protection requirements, bend easily to any angle, and resist corrosion and…
Cracks in rubber hoses happen often, and two main issues cause them. First, rubber hoses oxidize after long-term use. Second, working pressure may exceed the hose’s actual capacity. Most broken hoses needing repair fail due to aging. But Orientflex doesn’t recommend repairing cracked hoses. Every hose has a set service life—cracks usually mean that life…
During use, you might notice a “hissing” air leakage sound from the upper part of the engine when it idles. As the speed increases, this sound fades away. It stays the same whether the engine is cold or warm. At idle, you may also hear a “chugging” sound, and some accessories might stop working due…
In the 21st century, corrugated hoses have become indispensable across all walks of life. They excel at transporting various mediums, making their use a top concern for many businesses. But here’s the key: installing these flexible hoses requires following correct steps. Let’s break down how to install bellows properly. First, always refer to the relevant…
Plastic hoses are everywhere in our daily lives. You’ll spot them in homes, factories, and countless other places. Their widespread use speaks to their popularity—and to people’s growing demand for reliable, versatile products. But how do we ensure the quality of these flexible hoses? And what role do they play in industry? Let’s explore these…
