The impact of transportation and storage on the service life of steel wire braided rubber hoses
Time:2022-04-21Page views:3816In order to extend the service life of steel wire braided rubber hoses, it is necessary to first analyze the transportation and storage of the hoses.
1、 Transportation
1. During the loading and unloading process, it is necessary to ensure light loading and unloading.
2. The rolls (strips) should be sorted and neatly packed to avoid excessive bending and folding of the pipe body. Other heavy objects should not be stacked on the hose.
3. It is strictly prohibited to mix steel wire braided rubber hoses with acids, alkalis, oils, organic solvents, and flammable and explosive materials. The pipe body should not come into direct contact with objects with sharp edges.
4. For hoses transported in a straight line, when the length exceeds the loading compartment, the extra long part should be supported by brackets to prevent the hose from being damaged by friction on the ground.
5. When the hose needs to be temporarily parked in the open air (or workshop dock) for some reason, the site must be flat, the hose must be laid neatly and covered with padding, and heavy objects must not be piled up; Meanwhile, the hose must not come into contact with a heat source.
6. Do not drag them to the storage area during transportation, and protect the hoses from accidental damage.
2、 Storage
1. The storage warehouse should be kept clean and ventilated, with a relative temperature below 80%. The temperature inside the warehouse should be maintained between -15 and 40 ° C, and hoses should be protected from direct sunlight and rainy or snowy weather.
2. When storing, it should be placed according to different varieties and specifications, not mixed and labeled for future use.
3. It should be stored in a relaxed state as much as possible, and generally small inner diameter hoses can be stored in rolls.
4. To prevent compression deformation during storage of steel wire braided rubber hoses, stacking should not be too high. Generally, the stacking height should not exceed 1.5m; it is also required that the hoses be frequently "stacked" during storage, usually not less than once per quarter.
5. When storing hoses, do not come into contact with acids, alkalis, oils, organic solvents, or other corrosive liquids and gases; And it should be 1m away from the heat source.
6. During storage, it is prohibited to stack heavy objects on the pipe body to prevent external compression and damage.
7. The storage period should generally not exceed two years and should be stored before use to prevent the quality of the rubber hose from being affected by prolonged storage time.
The above are the transportation and storage requirements for steel wire braided rubber hoses. To extend the service life of the hose, proper transportation and storage are necessary.
