Common materials for industrial gas exhaust hose
Soft flexible rubber tubing is a series of rubber hoses. It includes rubber water hose, rubber oil hose and rubber air hose. The industrial rubber hose mainly consists of inner tube, reinforce and cover. The inner tube resist water and abrasion. While the reinforce can be steel wire braid or spiral. But some industrial rubber hoses has cloth and fibre as the reinforce. Then the cover should be wear and climate resistant rubber.
The rubber tube has small outer diameter tolerance and excellent water resistance. Besides, it is light in weight, flexible and durable. Thus in general, rubber industrial hoses has long service life. However, you should use the hose correctly. Otherwise it may fail earlier.
How to use soft flexible rubber tubing correctly
First, don’t bend the rubber hose overly no matter in static or movement. Besides, never bend it at the end. In stead, bend it least at 1.5 times its diameter. Second, you can not stretch the reinforced rubber hose too tight. While it should be loose. In addition, try to avoid the twist and distortion on high temp rubber hose.
The rubber hose should be as far away from the heat resource as possible. While if necessary, add a heat shield. Because high temp will cause the hose age. Besides, keep the flexile rubber hose away from the external damage. Such as long-term friction with the surface of the component during use. If the rubber hose is deformed due to its own weight, there should be support. When the hose is under pressure, there will be changes in length and diameter. Then the synthetic rubber hose will expand under pressure and resulting in a decrease in strength.
