The choice of material for LPG delivery hose is crucial. It is directly related to the safety, efficiency and service life of the hose. Common materials for LPG delivery hose include the following:
PTFE
PTFE material has excellent resistance to high temperature, corrosion and abrasion. This makes it an ideal choice for LPG delivery hoses. It also has excellent chemical stability. It is therefore resistant to the erosion of LPG.
KFM
KFM is a high-performance elastomer with excellent resistance to oils, solvents and high temperatures. It can be used for a long time in harsh environments to maintain the flexibility and sealing of the hose.
Neoprene Rubber
Neoprene rubber has good oil resistance and corrosion resistance and is suitable for the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas. It has good elasticity and can withstand certain pressure and deformation.
In addition, there are some special synthetic materials that are also used in the production of LPG delivery hoses. These materials usually have excellent comprehensive performance and can meet the requirements for use in specific occasions.
Besides considering the material, you also need to pay attention to factors such as the hose’s structural design, inner diameter, wall thickness, length and pressure resistance. These factors will directly affect the transportation efficiency, safety and service life of the hose.
In order to ensure the safety of LPG transportation, choose reliable quality hose products. And follow the relevant installation and use specifications. To ensure the normal operation of LPG delivery hoses, you should inspect and maintain it regularly. Then this can ensure that they are in good condition and can withstand the intended pressure. Also, prevent the hose from coming into contact with sharp objects to avoid oil leakage and fire.
