There are many types of hoses that can be used to transfer various gases, liquids and pastes. These hoses can be made from different materials.
EPDM rubber is one of the most common types of synthetic rubber that is used for a variety of applications. It is durable and can easily be shaped to any shape you require.
Series of EPDM rubber braided Hoses
EPDM rubber braided hose is a type of synthetic rubber that is widely used for a variety of applications. They are particularly effective for transferring liquids, chemicals and gases.
These hoses have a smooth inner liner that reduces flow resistance. They are also resistant against abrasions and chemicals.
The series offers a wide range of products, from small, narrow hoses to large, wide hoses. The size and type of hose needed depends on the type of fluid or gas being transferred.
This type of hose is typically used in industrial, construction and rental applications. It is also suitable for marine and agriculture applications.
EPDM is not like silicone. It will not shrink under extreme heat. However, it does not retain its physical properties for long periods of time.
Silicone, however, is stable at temperatures up to 230°C (or up until 270°C for high temperature silicone grades). Silicone is ideal for many applications, including aerospace, automotive, and railway.
This flexible steam hose is resistant to extreme temperatures and can withstand abrasion from the steam itself. It is reinforced with a wire braid for added strength.
Installation of EPDM rubber braided Hoses
To protect the hose assembly from damage and deterioration, it is essential to properly install it. Bending radii smaller than those indicated on the data sheet, accidental kinking or flattening of the reinforcing wire braid (located on the outside of the bend) and abrasion that causes corrosion of the reinforcing layer can be detrimental to product life.
Measure the bending radius of the Hose by measuring the distance from the hose's centreline at maximum pressure. This is done without any flexing. This measurement should be checked during pressure tests. A bend radius smaller than the one indicated on the sheet could cause the braid of reinforcing wire to tear.
It is important to consider the length of the hose between connections as well as the overall length from one end fitting to the next. This is because it is the end-fittings that are subjected to the most flexions and vibrations, thereby generating high levels of heating and causing a rapid deterioration of the hose.
The hose consists of an inner tube and a reinforcement. These reinforcements give it its physical and psychological properties: resistance to pressure, vacuum and kinking, and traction. They can also combine technical solutions to adapt to the conditions of use, such as metal braiding, metal spirals, cable plies, or electrical conductors. They also guarantee the dimensional stability of the inner tube and contribute to tightness.
Medium for EPDM rubber braided Hose Transmission
When installing EPDM rubber braided hose, it is important to use the right transmission medium. This ensures that the hose works properly and safely, which reduces downtime, costs, and environmental impacts.
The hose transmission medium can be made of a variety of materials. These include pvc, polyurethane, and synthetic rubber. Each material has its own characteristics that can impact the performance of the hose.
Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) is an especially tough material that can withstand abrasion, chemicals, and temperature changes. It also reduces ozone damage, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
NORDEL offers a wide variety of EPDM hoses. These products are durable and easy to work with, making them a good choice for a variety of applications.
For example, they can be used in the automotive industry for air intake hoses, radiator hoses, heater hoses and brake hoses. They are resistant to heat, cold, and ozone, have high green and tear strength, and age well.
Synthetic rubbers are often chosen for hoses in industrial areas, as they are less susceptible to weather conditions and chemical degradation. Synthetic rubbers are more flexible, abrasion-resistant, and oil-resistant than natural rubber. They can be used for a variety of industrial applications and are often WRAS-approved.
