PVC steel wire reinforced hose is widely used in many industrial fields and is favored for its excellent pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Although the performance of this hose is relatively good, proper maintenance is essential to extend its service life, ensure safe operation and avoid leakage and damage. In daily use, to avoid damage and failure of the hose, it is necessary to pay attention to its use environment and operation method.
One of the most important aspects of PVC steel wire reinforced hose when using it is to avoid excessive bending and stretching. Due to its steel wire reinforced structure, the hose can withstand a certain amount of pressure and tension to a certain extent, but if it is bent or stretched too much, it may cause the inner steel wire to break or the outer layer to crack. Especially when tortuous operations are required, it is necessary to ensure that the hose maintains a natural curvature during operation to avoid unnecessary stress. If longer or more complex curved routes are required, consider using a hose that meets the corresponding requirements instead of forcibly twisting or stretching the existing hose.
PVC steel wire reinforced hose is extremely sensitive to high temperature environments and certain chemicals. Long-term exposure to high temperatures or direct sunlight can cause the hose material to become brittle, or even break or age. Strong acids, strong bases or certain solvent-like chemicals may accelerate the corrosion of the hose and reduce its service life. In practical applications, especially in environments such as the chemical industry and the petroleum industry, special attention must be paid to the working environment of the hose. If the hose needs to work in a high temperature or chemically corrosive environment, a special hose with stronger high temperature and corrosion resistance should be selected, or appropriate protective measures should be taken, such as using an insulating sleeve or a chemical protective layer.
In order to further extend the service life of the PVC steel wire reinforced hose, it is critical to regularly check the appearance and performance of the hose. The hose should be visually inspected regularly to check for cracks, bulges, wear or other signs of surface damage. Once these problems are found, measures should be taken immediately to deal with them, including replacing the damaged part or the entire hose. Especially in places with high frequency of use, regular inspections can detect problems in time and avoid accidents and downtime caused by hose failure.
Cleaning and maintenance are also important steps in maintaining PVC steel wire reinforced hoses. Dust, oil or chemical residues may accumulate during use of the hose, which will not only affect the smoothness of the hose, but also accelerate the aging of the hose. It is recommended to use warm water and neutral detergent to clean the hose regularly, and avoid using strong acid or strong alkaline detergents, which may corrode the material of the hose. After cleaning, make sure the hose is completely dry before storing it to avoid mold growth in a humid environment.
When using PVC steel wire reinforced hoses, special attention must be paid to their pressure bearing capacity. Each hose has a maximum working pressure. If this pressure range is exceeded, the hose may rupture or leak. During use, pay special attention to pressure control to ensure that the working pressure is always within a safe range. If possible, a pressure monitoring device can be installed in the pipeline system to monitor pressure changes in real time to prevent overpressure.
