Ultra high pressure hose is a special material in the industry. As the name shows, it always serves in high pressure systems. While the typical ones include hydraulic system and high pressure washing system. In fact, the working environment of such hose is often harsh. So you should operate it well to prolong its service life. Then next, let me introduce you the correct methods to use uhp hose.
First, pay attention to the ultra high pressure hose fitting
When you install and disassembly high pressure pipe joint, do not force or tighten it. Because this can protect the inner or outer threads. At the same time, apply lubricant to the outer surface of the thread. Then use a protective sleeve to protect the thread after disassembly.
In addition, there are other factors that have a great impact on the service life of ultra high pressure flexible hose. Such as pressure fluctuations during the operation of cleaning machine. Opening and blocking of spray gun and control valve also affect the service life.
Correct method to use uhp hoses
During cleaning, try to avoid frequently opening and closing the handheld high pressure spray gun. Because this can reduce the impact of pressure pulses on the hose and extend the service life. Besides, pay special attention to bends around high pressure pipe joint. In addition, the joints should be coated with anti-rust oil. Then this can protect it from the high temp, high pressure and corrosive.
If the actual pressure exceeds 1.25 times the specified pressure, the service life will reduce by 50%. If it requires bending, make sure the bending radius is not too small. In general, the bending radius is not less than 15 times the outer diameter. Otherwise the steel wires on the outside will stretch and those on the inside will be compressed. Then it will reduce the compressive strength of the entire high pressure pipe.
