Use an appropriate cleaning method

In order to ensure the pressure performance of the hose, the following are some important considerations:

Select the appropriate hose: According to the nature of the cleaning medium, pressure requirements and temperature range, select a hose that meets the requirements. The hose should have sufficient pressure resistance to safely withstand the pressure of the cleaning process.
Check the working pressure level of the hose: You can find the logo or label on the hose, which indicates the working pressure level of the hose. Make sure the cleaning pressure does not exceed the working pressure rating of the hose to prevent hose rupture or leakage.
Control the cleaning pressure: Use appropriate cleaning equipment and control systems to ensure that the pressure during cleaning is controlled within a safe range. According to the working pressure of the hose and the nature of the cleaning medium, set the appropriate cleaning pressure to avoid exceeding the bearing capacity of the hose.
Regularly check the status of the hose: regularly check the appearance and internal conditions of the hose, and pay attention to whether there is wear, cracking, aging, corrosion, etc. If the hose is found to be abnormal, replace or repair it in time to ensure its normal operation and safe use.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidance: Hose manufacturers usually provide detailed information about the hose’s pressure resistance and precautions for use. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and directions to make sure the hose can handle the proper pressure during cleaning.
Training and awareness raising: For operators, provide relevant training and guidance to make them understand the hose’s pressure resistance and correct use methods. Strengthen safety awareness and ensure that operators abide by safety regulations to avoid excessive bending and extrusion: When cleaning the hose, avoid excessive bending and extrusion of the hose. Excessive bending and pinching can cause pressure buildup inside the hose, increasing the risk of hose rupture. Make sure the hose maintains its natural curve during cleaning and avoids pinching it with other hard objects.
Temperature control: The temperature of the cleaning medium also affects the pressure resistance of the hose. Some media may cause the hose material to soften or lose strength at high temperatures, reducing the pressure resistance of the hose. Therefore, during the cleaning process, control the temperature of the cleaning medium to ensure that the hose material can work normally and maintain its pressure resistance.
Use an appropriate cleaning method: choose a cleaning method suitable for the cleaning task, and avoid using excessively high pressure and too aggressive cleaning agents. Excessive cleaning pressure and aggressive cleaning agents may damage the surface and internal structure of the hose, reducing its pressure resistance.
Regular maintenance and replacement: Regularly check and maintain the pressure resistance of the hose, including inspection after cleaning and maintenance of the hose. Regularly replace aged, worn or damaged hoses to ensure they are always in good working order.

The above precautions must be kept in mind when using marine fuel hoses for cleaning operations. Reasonable selection of hoses, control of cleaning pressure, regular inspection and maintenance of hose status, and following manufacturer’s recommendations and guidance are the keys to ensure the safety and reliability of marine oil hoses during cleaning. At the same time, training operators and enhancing safety awareness can improve the professionalism and safety of operations and reduce the occurrence of accidents. By following the correct operating procedures and safety guidelines, the marine oil hose can effectively withstand the pressure during the cleaning process, ensuring the smooth progress of the cleaning task, while ensuring the safety of the ship and crew.
