General applications of hydraulic hoses
The service life of industrial hoses is affected by many factors. This includes the material of the hose, the working environment (such as temperature, pressure, media type), the frequency of use, and maintenance. Therefore, it is difficult to give a unified service life standard. However, some approximate reference ranges can be provided according to different materials and applications.
NBR
Typically, the service life of nitrile rubber hoses under normal conditions is about 2 to 5 years. This material has good resistance to oils and other chemicals. But long-term exposure to high temperature or high pressure will accelerate aging.
EPDM
EPDM hoses also have an average service life of 2 to 5 years. It is particularly suitable for hot water and steam systems. Because EPDM has good heat resistance and weather resistance.
PVC steel wire hose
The service life of PVC steel wire hose is generally about a few years, depending on the conditions of use. It is usually used to transport water, air or other non-corrosive fluids. It can last for a long time with proper maintenance.
Hydraulic hose
The service life of hydraulic hoses may be between 3 and 5 years. But this needs to be guaranteed based on correct installation, operation and regular inspection. High temperatures, high pressures, frequent bending and vibrations can shorten its life.
Chemical hose
The service life of chemical hoses depends largely on the nature of the chemicals being transported and the working environment. Under proper storage and use conditions, the shelf life of chemical hoses can reach several years.
High pressure hose
Depending on the working environment, the service life of high-pressure hoses can range from a few months to several years. Under extreme conditions, such as high temperature, high pressure or frequent pulse loads, the service life may be greatly shortened.
