Selecting a chemical hose that matches the conveying medium is a key step in ensuring safe and efficient operation of the pipeline system.
Understand the features of the conveying medium
First, you need to know the chemical properties of the conveying medium in detail. Such as acidity, alkalinity, corrosive, toxicity, etc. Then know the temp range, pressure and possible solid particle content of the medium. Besides, consider the volatility, flammability and whether the medium will generate static electricity.
Select the hose material
According to the medium, choose a rubber hose that can withstand corrosion and erosion. For example, for acidic media, acid-resistant materials such as PTFE or KFM should be selected. Consider the temperature tolerance range of the material. Then ensure that the hose can maintain stability within the operating temperature range of the medium. For high pressure or high flow use, select a material with sufficient strength and elasticity.
Consider the structure and performance of the hose
Choose a hose with excellent sealing performance to prevent leakage of the medium. Select a hose with wear resistance, anti-aging, UV resistance, etc. as needed. Consider the flexibility of the hose so that it can maintain good performance under bending or vibration conditions.
