Maintain
You should never drag the chemical resistant hose on sharp or rough surface. Besides, prevent the chemical hose from hammer, cut, deformation or rolling by vehicles. Then take some protective measures when transport heavy straight pipes. For example, lift the hose.
Seal test
After the metal joint installed, carry out a hydraulic test. While the test pressure should comply with the corresponding data. Then this is to ensure that the metal joint and the hose does not leak or loose.
If there is no standard test spec, the pressure test should follow the data from the hose supplier.
Electrostatic discharge
When install a hose with static discharge function, it is necessary to follow the specs. After the metal interface installed, it needs to be tested. If the hose can only bear low resistance, test with a path tester.
Fixtures
Hose on fixtures should be secure. Safety measures must not affect the normal deformation of the hose due to pressure. If the hose is subject to special force or pressure, please consult Orient.
Moving parts
For hoses installed on moving parts, ensure that the hose will not be impacted, blocked, worn and bent. Besides, never fold, drag or twist it during the movement.
Reference Information
In addition to mark, if you want to add reference information on the hose, you should choose the right tape. In addition, you should not use paint and coat. Because there is a chemical interaction between the hose cover film and the paint-like solution.
In this piece, we learned some regulations to operate the chemical hose. While there are some other factors to follow up. So if you want to learn more about that, follow Orient and learn next time.
