Rubber hoses are mainly used in industries such as construction machinery, coal mining machinery, chemical engineering, petroleum drilling and extraction, and food. Due to the rapid changes in fluid media and new materials, consumers have an increasing demand for "low bending, high pressure, long life, and multifunctional" rubber hoses, which puts higher demands on the continuous innovation ability of rubber hose manufacturers. As a type of rubber product, improper handling during use, storage, and transportation can cause certain damage to the rubber hose. If not taken seriously, it can accelerate the aging of the hose. So how to maintain rubber hoses to extend their service life?

1. During use

First, determine the nature of the medium being transported and whether the hose can transport this medium. For example, when transporting oil, it is necessary to use oil resistant nitrile rubber hoses instead of EPDM rubber hoses. And try to avoid dragging the hose during work, as dragging can cause damage to the outer adhesive layer. In addition, the work pressure should be within the limit range, otherwise it will damage the pipe material.

2. During the storage process

When storing, the inside of the rubber hose should be emptied first to avoid corrosion to the pipe body. Although rubber hoses have toughness, they are limited. Do not excessively bend rubber hoses during use. In addition, the storage environment should be dry and ventilated, and stored in a cool and shady place. Humidity, light, temperature, and other factors are all factors that cause rubber aging, and rubber hoses are also made of rubber, so they are also suitable for rubber hoses.

3. During transportation

During transportation, excessive bending of the rubber tube should be avoided first, and heavy objects should not be pressed on the rubber. In addition, rubber hoses should not be mixed with acids, bases, organic solvents, oils, and other substances to avoid chemical reactions between these substances and rubber; Avoid placing rubber hoses near sharp objects to prevent accidental scratches.

The above are the precautions for the use, storage, and transportation of rubber hoses. The performance of rubber hoses has a significant impact on hydraulic equipment such as mechanical engineering and coal industry. Production enterprises often need to undergo strict inspections before entering the supplier system. The key to product quality lies in the formula and production process. In the field of rubber hoses, the production process of products is relatively long, and controlling each link in the production process can ensure product quality.
