Rubber hose assembly is a common material in the industry and municipal project. However, there are complex types of hoses and various structures. In addition, the usage conditions vary. Thus the service life of the industrial hose is not only determined by the quality, but also by correct use. Therefore, if you don not use and maintain it correctly, it will affect its service life. Although it has a high quality. In some cases, it may cause serious accident, causing damage to property. Then what should we focus on when using a rubber pipe?
Precautions to use rubber hose assembly
First, he hose and hose assembly can only transport the specific materials. Otherwise the service life will be short. Worse more, it may cause failure during the use.
Second, use the length of the hose correctly. The length of the hose changes under high pressure (-4%-+2%). Besides, mechanical movement causes the length change.
Third, you can not use the flexible rubber hose exceeding the designed working pressure. Because that will reduce the service life of rubber industrial hoses. In addition, it may cause the flexible rubber pipe burst during the use.
Fourth, never use the soft rubber hose beyond 120℃. Because over high temp will degrade the rubber. Then it will reduce all the properties. In another hand, it will reduce the service life.
Fifth, you can not use the rubber hose assembly below the min bending radius. Besides, avoid bending near the hose joint. Otherwise it will resist the liquid deliver. Besides, long term bending will break the inner tube. Then it will cause leakage.
Sixth, never drag your natural rubber hose on sharp and rough surfaces. Because that will damage the hose and cause failure.
Last, after each use, clean up the hose, especially the chemical hose and composite hose. Because they often deliver acid, alkali and solvent. Thus if you don’t clean them, the reserved corrosives will corrode the later mediums.
