Dust explosion measurements differ from gas explosions. Gas explosions use volume percentage, while dust explosions rely on particle mass per unit volume (g/m³ or mg/L). If the concentration is too low, dust particles are too far apart, making it hard for fire to spread. Sufficient Oxygen Content Is Essential Oxygen is the foundation for dust…
Plastic Hoses Plastic hoses include PVC, PE, PTFE, and PU varieties. Generally, they offer long service lives. How to Store Plastic Hoses First, store hoses in a cool, dry, well-ventilated room. Avoid temperatures above +45°C, as stagnant hot air can deform hoses. Note: Direct sunlight can raise temperatures inside hose reels. Next, adjust stacking height…
Contact with Other Materials Industrial hoses should avoid contact with solvents, fuels, oils, greases, acids, and other organic liquids. Moreover, direct contact with certain metals like manganese, iron, copper, and their alloys can harm some rubber materials. Besides, you must steer clear of PVC and corrosion-impregnated wood or fabric. Heat Source First, monitor the temperature…
The global demand for renewable energy and eco-friendly technology keeps rising, making the new energy sector a crucial direction for the global economy.

Throwing a Lay-Flat Fire Hose 1. Pre-Roll the Hose Start by rolling up the fire hose. Slightly misalign the two connectors when beginning the roll, then fold the hose in half and start rolling from the middle. Finish by forming a tight disk with both connectors positioned at the top. 2. Execute the Throw Hold…
A fire fighting hose is a layflat tube designed to transport high-pressure water or fire-retardant liquids like foam. Traditional hoses use rubber linings with polyester reinforcement, while advanced models employ polymers like PU for durability. Metal connectors at both ends allow attaching extensions or nozzles to increase spray pressure. Key Maintenance Methods 1. Dedicated Management…
