Things to be aware of when maintaining and using EPDM hoses

Do we have any precautions when using rubber hoses? After using it, do you have to maintain it? If you don't know how to maintain and pay attention to use, then I will show you

1. Correct use of rubber hose

It is important to determine the length of the EPDM rubber tube you need. Also check that the rubber tube is in compliance with the selected hose. Make sure that the rubber tube you will use is the most suitable. Work pressure and suction values should be carefully determined. In particular, it should be noted that sudden pressure changes or pressure peaks exceeding the maximum allowed will greatly shorten the life of the rubber tube. Both ends of the rubber tube cannot be continuously immersed in the substance to be transported.

2. Install the rubber tube should pay attention to:

If you install a rubber tube with a bend radius that is less than the specified minimum, the life of the rubber tube will be greatly reduced. Therefore, before installation, it is recommended that you use the information for consultation, especially the information about the bending radius of the rubber tube.

3. Maintenance of rubber tube

Cleaning: After use, it is recommended that you empty the hose. If necessary, it should be cleaned.

Check: The rubber tube must be inspected after each use to ensure that it is not structurally damaged. 

Pressure: Hydraulic testing is recommended if the rubber tube is subjected to severe pressure during use or if the outer layer of the rubber tube will come into contact with the delivered liquid for a prolonged period of time.

The above is the matters needing attention and maintenance when using the rubber tube, I hope to help you!
