To choose a stainless steel hose with good high temperature stability, you need to consider multiple factors. Here are some key steps and precautions:
Understand the stainless steel material
Different stainless steel materials have different high temperature resistance. For example, 304 stainless steel has good high temperature resistance and is suitable for general high temperature environments. 316 stainless steel has better high temperature resistance and is suitable for higher temperature environments.
Check the braiding effect
The braiding effect of the stainless steel hose has an important impact on its high temperature stability. Choosing a hose with high interweaving density and small gaps between the strands of the braided layer usually means better quality and high temperature stability.
Check the hose process
Observe the appearance of the hose. A good stainless steel hose has a bright color, good bellows softness, and neatly arranged steel wires on the wire mesh sleeve. You can use a magnet to test that real stainless steel is not attracted by magnets.
Consider the working environment
Choose the appropriate stainless steel material and hose model according to the ultra-high temperature and short-term high temperature conditions that the hose may encounter when working. The higher the temperature resistance, the higher the price of the hose may be.
It is also necessary to consider factors such as pressure in the working environment, type of medium, and whether it is corrosive.
Determine the hose size and connection method
Choose the appropriate hose diameter, length and connection method according to actual needs. Such as flange connection, threaded connection, quick connector, etc.
