Material requirements for rubber hoses in water cutting

阅读更多

Waterjet cutting is a technology that uses high-pressure water jets for cutting. It can be used to cut a variety of materials, including metal, glass, stone and rubber. When performing high-pressure water cutting, it is necessary to use high-pressure rubber hoses to deliver high-pressure water flow, so high-pressure water cutting has very high requirements for rubber hoses. This article will introduce the requirements of high-pressure water cutting for rubber hoses from the aspects of rubber hose materials and pressure.

First, material requirements

1. Wear resistance
   High-pressure water cutting needs to use high-pressure water to impact the material to be cut, so it is necessary to use a rubber hose with good wear resistance. The material of the rubber hose should be wear-resistant and be able to remain intact under the impact of high-pressure water flow to meet the needs of long-term continuous work.
2. Corrosion resistance
   Waterjet cutting fluid may contain chemicals that can corrode rubber hoses. Therefore, it is required that the material of the rubber hose should have corrosion resistance and be able to not be corroded under the action of liquid.
3. High temperature resistance
   The high-pressure water cutting fluid will generate high temperature during use, so the material of the rubber hose needs to be resistant to high temperature and not harden or deform under high temperature environment.

Second, pressure requirements

High-pressure water cutting requires high-pressure water flow, so the pressure resistance of the rubber hose must also be considered. When choosing a rubber hose, it is necessary to consider the maximum working pressure of the high-pressure water cutting equipment to ensure that the pressure resistance of the rubber hose can meet the requirements of the high-pressure water cutting equipment.

Third, interface requirements

The rubber hose needs to be connected to the high-pressure water cutting equipment through the interface during use, so the interface requirements of the rubber hose are also very important. The interface of the rubber hose should have a good seal, which can effectively prevent the leakage of high-pressure water flow, so as to ensure work safety. At the same time, the interface of the rubber hose also needs to be corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant to ensure that there will be no quality problems for long-term use.

Fourth, length requirements

The length of the rubber hose is also one of the issues that need to be considered in high-pressure water cutting. Generally speaking, the length of the rubber hose should be determined according to the working environment of the high-pressure water cutting equipment. If the high-pressure water cutting equipment needs to be moved over a large distance, the length of the rubber hose should be long enough to avoid pulling or twisting.

To sum up, the requirements of high pressure water cutting for rubber hose mainly include material requirements, pressure requirements, interface requirements and length requirements. When choosing a rubber hose, it is necessary to determine the parameters of material, pressure, interface and length according to different use environments and needs, so as to ensure that the quality and performance of the rubber hose can meet the requirements of high-pressure water cutting.
