Consider more when you store industrial hoses
Daily inspection of rubber oil hose is very important to detect potential problems in time and ensure their safe and reliable operation. The following are some common daily inspection items:
Appearance inspection
Surface damage
Carefully check whether the surface of the oil pipe has mechanical damage such as scratches, cuts, and wear. These damages may damage the integrity of the rubber. In turn, the strength of the oil pipe is reduced, resulting in an increased risk of leakage. Pay special attention to the parts where the oil pipe contacts other parts. Such as friction with the frame, engine, etc.
Aging cracking
Check whether the surface of the oil pipe has aging cracking. With the increase of usage time and the influence of environmental factors, the rubber will gradually age and small cracks will appear on the surface. Once obvious cracks are found, it means that the performance of the oil pipe has declined and needs to be replaced in time.
Blistering and bulging
Observe whether there are bubbles or bulges on the surface of the oil pipe. This may be caused by excessive internal pressure of the oil pipe, separation of rubber from the inner layer material, or erosion by chemical substances. This is an important signal that there are hidden dangers in the oil pipe and needs further inspection and treatment.
Connection inspection
Loose joints
Check whether the joints at both ends of the oil pipe are firm and loose. Loose joints can cause oil pipe leakage and affect the normal operation of the equipment. For clamp-type joints, check whether the clamp is tightened. For threaded joints, check whether the threads are damaged and whether they are tightened in place.
Sealing condition
Check whether there is oil leakage at the joint. Even slight leakage cannot be ignored. Because this may gradually worsen and cause serious leakage. You can judge whether the seal is good by observing whether there are oil marks and oil stains around the joint.
Corrosion condition
Check whether there is corrosion at the joint, especially the metal joint part. Corrosion will weaken the strength of the joint and cause a loose connection. It may also affect the sealing performance. If corrosion is found, clean it in time and take anti-corrosion measures. Replace the joint if necessary.
