Precautions for the use of high temperature steam pipes

Steam rubber hose is a common pipeline equipment in the industrial field, used to transmit high temperature and high pressure steam and other heat media.

Steam rubber hose is a common pipeline equipment in the industrial field, used to transmit high temperature and high pressure steam and other heat media. When using steam rubber hose, the following points need to be paid attention to.

  1. Temperature and pressure limitations
    The steam rubber hose has certain temperature and pressure restrictions, and it should be operated strictly in accordance with the maximum operating temperature and maximum working pressure range shown in the product manual. Exceeding this range may cause hose rupture and safety accidents.
  2. Avoid excessive bending and stretching
    During installation and use, excessive bending and stretching of the steam rubber hose should be avoided. Excessive bending can cause shear forces inside the hose, which can cause the hose to crack and rupture. Excessive stretching may cause the hose to deform or crack.
  3. Regular inspection and maintenance
    After the steam rubber hose has been used for a period of time, the degree of wear and leakage of the hose should be checked regularly, and the worn and damaged hose should be replaced and repaired in time. In addition, the hose should be cleaned and maintained regularly to avoid the influence of sediment and corrosion on the hose.
  4. Avoid exposure to chemicals
    Steam rubber hoses are not suitable for the transfer of acids, alkalis, oils and other chemicals. Contact with these substances can cause chemical reactions and corrosion in the hose, which can affect the performance and life of the hose.
  5. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment
    The steam rubber hose should avoid being exposed to the sun, especially in the high temperature environment in summer. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures will cause the hose to harden and age, affecting its performance and lifespan.
  6. Use the correct connector
    The joint of the steam rubber hose should match the hose and have sufficient high temperature and pressure resistance. When selecting a joint, attention should be paid to whether its material and structure are suitable for the environment in which it is used.
  7. Make sure the joint is tight
    When using steam rubber hoses, make sure the connections between the hoses and fittings are tight to avoid leaks. If you find that the hose joint is loose or leaks, you should stop using it immediately, and repair and replace it.
  8. Avoid mechanical damage
    The steam rubber hose should avoid mechanical damage during use, such as impact and scratches by mechanical tools such as claws and iron hooks. In addition, hoses need to be protected from pinching and twisting during transport and storage.

In short, steam rubber hose is a common pipeline equipment in industrial production, and the above points should be paid attention to when using it. Proper use and maintenance of steam rubber hoses can ensure their performance and longevity, as well as production safety and efficiency. Steam rubber hoses are widely used in the industrial field, but you need to pay attention to the above points when using them to avoid hose damage and safety accidents due to improper operation. If you have any questions, please consult the manufacturer or professionals in time.
