High pressure hoses are common in modern industry. They include a range of flexible hoses built to handle high pressure—like high pressure air pipes, washer hoses, and hydraulic hoses. These hoses work in high-pressure conditions, so daily use requires careful attention. Mistakes can lead to problems, damage, or even huge losses.
Key Tips for Using High Pressure Hoses
First, hoses should only transport their designed media. For example, a water hose is meant for water—not oil. Oil can corrode the hose, causing it to fail.
Second, every hose has a specific working pressure range. Before starting work, check the actual pressure. Make sure it stays within the hose’s designed range. High pressure beyond this limit shortens lifespan and may cause sudden failure.
Third, medium temperatures must stay within set limits. When delivering oil with a high pressure hose, keep oil temperatures between -40℃ and 120℃. For air, the range is -30℃ to 50℃. For water, the maximum is 80℃. Temperatures outside these ranges damage the hose.
Last, keep industrial hoses clean inside and out. Prevent impurities from entering the hose. Impurities block flow and lower delivery efficiency over time.
