The hose is a rubber product, which has some similar properties to rubber. In the process of use, storage and transportation, it is inevitable that some damage will be caused to the hose. You can’t see anything at the time, but it will accumulate. One day you will find that the hose has aged and can’t be used. If you don’t pay attention to the use of the rubber hose, it will age faster.
During use
First, you must determine the properties of the medium that the hose will convey. For example, if you want to convey oil substances, you can’t use EPDM hoses, but you should use oil-resistant nitrile hoses. In addition, when working, try to avoid dragging the hose. Because this will damage the outer rubber layer of the hose. In addition, the working pressure must also be within the limit, otherwise it will cause damage to the material of the tube body. At the same time, it cannot work in the air, fire and water of the supermarket for a long time, which will also accelerate the aging of the hose.
During storage
When storing, first empty the inside of the hose, especially do not allow corrosive acids and alkalis to remain in it. The hose cannot be bent excessively. Although the hose has a certain toughness, it is also limited. If it exceeds the degree of its load, the service life of the hose will be greatly shortened. In addition, the storage environment should be dry and ventilated, and stored in a cool place. Moisture, light, temperature, etc. are all factors that cause rubber aging.
During transportation
During transportation, first of all, avoid excessive bending of the hose. And do not let heavy objects press on the rubber. In addition, the hose cannot be mixed with acids, alkalis, organic solvents, urea, etc., so as to avoid chemical reactions between these substances and rubber. In addition, avoid placing the hose near sharp objects to avoid accidental scratches.
