Steam hose aging problem: how to extend hose life

Steam hoses often encounter aging problems after being used for a period of time. Steam pressure, temperature, medium, and length of use are all important factors affecting hose aging. In this article, we will detail the causes and countermeasures of steam hose aging.

First of all, the main cause of hose aging is the influence of high temperature, high pressure and chemical substances. Steam, as a medium, also withstands the impact of high temperature and high pressure, so the hose aging problem is particularly prominent. Secondly, distortions, scratches, indentations and other phenomena that occur during use are also manifestations of hose aging. These phenomena will cause the hose to lose elasticity, become brittle and other problems.

How to extend the life of the hose is a key issue. First of all, the hose should avoid excessive twisting, impact, extrusion and other problems during use to avoid causing local damage to the hose; secondly, the service life of the hose should be strictly controlled. According to different usage conditions, the hose can be inspected and replaced regularly to ensure Ensure the normal use of the hose.

In addition, the material of the hose also has a great impact on the aging problem of steam hoses. Generally speaking, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) hoses age quickly and are prone to cracks, hardening, deformation and other problems. However, hoses made of gas polyurethane (TPU) and acrylic (PU) materials have good anti-aging properties and have a longer lifespan.

Finally, the maintenance of steam hoses is also very important. If problems arise during use, repair them in time, try to avoid problems such as overloading, and increase the ambient temperature and humidity of the hose. These measures can help us better extend the service life of the hose.

In short, the problem of hose aging must be paid enough attention and corresponding prevention and maintenance measures must be taken. Choosing materials with good aging resistance, proper installation and use, and paying attention to details will help extend the life of the hose and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.
