High temperature rubber steam hose
High temperature rubber steam hose is used to transport hot and cold liquids and gasses. It comes in different sizes and can withstand temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius. It features a braided steel spiral helix that ensures the hose remains in shape under pressure. It is also easy to install. There are many applications for this hose in the industry.
The EPDM rubber steamhose is much more resistant to aging than elastomer or plastic hoses, which can be damaged by high temperatures. It is also resistant to high temperatures, ozone, and weather. It is also resistant to high pressure, crushing, and bursting. It can also withstand sudden temperature changes and accidental exposure to fire.
Steam hoses that have a high temperature can pose a danger, especially in tight spaces. The hose must be protected against extreme pressures to keep workers and machinery safe. The hose must be protected from steam and should have a cover that protects against chemical and environmental hazards. Oil can be particularly harmful to steam hoses. Many manufacturers offer oil-resistant covers. You can also pin-prick the cover to release any trapped gasses.
The typical steam hose is composed of a tube, a reinforcement layer, and a cover. The tube part is specially designed to resist steam and heat. The cover is made of smooth synthetic rubber, such as EPDM. It is reinforced with steel wires to resist cracking.
pressure range of steam hose
It is important to consider the pressure range when choosing a steamhose. The pressure rating refers to the pressure the hose can withstand in normal conditions. However, high temperatures can change the material properties of rubber and plastic, reducing the pressure rating. This change can cause the hose to fail. It is important to consider the temperature in which the hose will be used. The hose's operating temperature must be higher than the ambient temperature, and its pressure multiplier should be larger than the temperature of the surrounding environment.
A good hose will have a mark at the lay line that indicates the manufacturer and the pressure range. If it doesn’t, it is probably not suitable for steam. A hose's date of manufacture is also a helpful indicator of when it should be replaced. Many hoses have a date code that indicates when they were made.
There are many sizes available for steam hose. They range from 0.020 in. to 3/4 inch in diameter. The walls of these hoses range from 1/16 to 1/8 in. They're also available in lengths up to 25 ft. Depending on the size of the hose, the pressure range can vary from nine to 115 psi. These hoses can be used in applications such as diagnostic test product manufacturing, vaccine manufacturing, and bioreactor process lines. They're also available in stock items for most fluid transfer applications.
When selecting the size of a steam hose, it's important to consider the steam velocity. A steam velocity greater than 25 m/s means that a pipe diameter of at least 130mm is recommended. If you are not sure, you can use a nomogram for the best pipe size.
How to choose the right model and specification for your steam hose
Select a model that is built to withstand a large pressure. It should be designed with a shut-off valve to prevent damage to the hose. It should also feature a spigot connection collar that prevents it from kinking or damage.
There are many features that steam hoses have that are essential for your industrial application. For example, it should have a cover that protects it from chemicals, abrasion, and other hazards. It should also be oil-resistant. These features are offered by many manufacturers as an extra precaution against accidental contact of oil or grease. Pin-pricking holes are also available on some steam hoses to release trapped gases.
In addition, you should consider the hose's inner diameter. The inside diameter will determine the amount of pressure that it can handle. An excessive flow can lead to clogging and damage of the inner tube. It can also cause the hose to break or collapse.
Pipe size selection can be simplified by using a nomogram. It is shown in the Appendix of this Module. The procedure is illustrated in Example 10.2.3. A pipe size of 40 mm will be insufficient. A pipe with a diameter of 50 mm is more suitable. It is also important to determine the running load if the pipe is going over a long distance. This running load should be added onto the total steam load.
